    We should have your ranger tow it, hit the chute on the fiero while on the trailer and see if it flies up in the air like a paraglider.

    People have put prius electric motors in the front, it really makes for an insane launch. Tempting, but i dont have space since I have headlights, and 2 radiators up there.

    Ehhhh.

    I dont think I would trust those particular home made strut towers to hold a sandwich, let alone the torque of an electric motor...

    Sketchy.... soooo sketchy. lol.

    Oh that gets expensive too. Got some custom trucks that added up very quickly and my god the mess of broken parts over the years.

    EDIT: See what you did...I was on Losi site and it looks like they move from nitro engines to gas. Hmmm

    I haven't looked at them for years. I remember the electric ones were starting to get stupid fast too.

    There was some sludge built up back there so they may have been leaking for awhile. The line isn't worn through or anything like that.

    Depends on the trans. Its the first time this motor has been mated to this trans in a fiero.

    Here is the extremely long alernator belt.



    For reference, this is what they look like stock:
