Not the mirror--the text on the mirror.

What are the symptoms of having a smaller tube between the FPR and the MAP sensor?

Here is a picture of the angled text on my right side mirror:

My mirror appears to have straight text...

Yes.  That is what I want.  I see such a glass on ebay (at least, it appears that way).

My center caps have started to lose a bit of the black lettering/logo.  Is there a good way to stop this?

Here is an image of what I see:


Obviously, despite the best efforts of the logo to retain its position, it is being reduced to nothing.

In the old days, you could remove the old ones, and get replacement decals from Fierosails.com. I'm not sure if they can do that now.

Unfortunately, mine aren't decals.  Even if I installed new center caps like these, how long would they last?

Two responses:  Small vacuum line between MAP and FP regulator.  I don't know for sure but my theory is that the smaller line can't vacate the air inside the FP regulator fast enough and you get a little stumble on acceleration.  That's what's happening with me after changing to stainless lines.

Center caps:  You may be able to protect them by over spraying them with an aluminum clearcoat.  It seems the only new center caps available are plain.  Mine deteriorated so I just polished them out and sprayed them with AlumaClear.

Did your caps have the logo, or were they plain?

My Fiero was running great on the stainless line, a few months ago, but yes, I think there is room for improvement.

I kindof wish that my caps were the same color as the wheels.

My original center caps had the logo.  I have a full set of plain caps that I've had for years.  I think I got them for one of my 85's but never installed them.  If TFS caps are printed, they could also be protected by over spraying with clear.  You must be careful with overspraying a decal.  It's possible the clearcoat could melt the decal.

I'm fairly sure my caps aren't decals, but not sure.  I could always test on the damaged caps, I guess.

Somewhere, I do have a set with "Fiero GT" decals.
