It doesn't look like any of those parts are from a fiero...

Awesome car by the way man! I want to build my own car from the ground up some day.

Fiero my &^$&^ this is a full custom tubed chassis with all corvette and qa1 suspenion. or can you not read.
it has Nascar torsion sway bars and handles on a rail. So maybee you might want to read the build up befor you remark.
The tires where no problem as they are on a true 3 piece wheel so I just bolted them together thru the center of the tires. it has a 315/25/22 on the rear and a 265/30/20 on the front.
I built and named this car a Superleggera because they never built one out of a murci. . .

Don't sweat the haters (Fiero comment). Welcome to the board. Thanks for the clarification about the tire mounting. I have no experience with 3 piece wheels. So, didn't realize that the wheel could be assembled around the tire. Please continue to comment & update us on future builds as well. Outstanding work!

Nice job with all the custom work!

I've heard Ferrari will sue the *** off anyone who builds a replica; you mentioned Lambo gave you a hard time, but they aren't pursuing you too hard?

Wow, hella job man. It would be smoking with solid white paint with black wheels though. You have a tv in the steering wheel.

A cam'n LSX Lambo would be pretty cool

Thanks Sweet project RX7. I undestand the colors are my preference. I am really happy with it. It is a Ball to drive.
Handles on a rail also.
