I actually heard rumor that they have their own "Big Brother" program for underprivileged C4 owners.

This thread got me thinking....Called the owner about making some reproduction quarter windows for Fieros. While he doesn't have them, he directed me where to get them. Hell of a nice guy.

I bet they could start selling Corvette engines for Fieros for the V8 conversion kit.

I have never seen a left handed filter wrench, you can cut the handle off, flip it over, and reweld it , this is about the only way I know to get one......WW

Your best bet is to remount the engine facing the opposite way.
Perhaps driving in England would be more suitable for you.

You guys are silly, or joking! Left handed oil filter wrench? BS! You just turn the car upside down and use a right-handed one! Either that, or grab the right-handed wrench and use a mirror!

Gotta teach you EVERYTHING!

Good idea this will also cool your car down so there is no need to open the hood.

Maybe they can start selling metric adjustable wrenches too. Crescent doesn't have them, nor Craftsman or Snap-on. All of mine are old SAE.

I'm thinking they could pose a serious threat to Harbor Freight.
