Dont need cutouts, i dont think- its 3" front to back and shoould flow plenty for what i do with the car. It wont see the drag strip often so i wont be setting it up for that.

Why would i want it to be a sleeper, I dont plan to race anyone on the street anyway- its not worth the chances of someone else getting hurt. (no, this isnt directed at only you, just too much work to quote a lot of people)
i wasnt referring for the practicality of racing people, but even at shows... people stroll up to a stock looking cav and BAM! their grandma slaps them in the face and says "V8 BIT#H!!"
Hmmm, if you can promise me i will see an old lady do that i may think about it, i just about fell out of my chair just reading that, let alone see it actually happen.

Mine is off a 2nd gen z with a v6 (i think it was a 93, may have been a 94) From what i have read it is the same as an hm-282 but internal slave.
I'm not sure what you mean as far as "so i hoping there isint any major differances as far as fit up and mounting go" since after you cut almost the entire front end of the car apart fitting and mounting has andless options on the way back together. Alternatively if you are talking about just the trans there are modifications to do- check on fiero sites for more info on that since i'm not wise enough to have taken many progress pics.

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.
I personally like the body kit. It breaks stereotypes having both, and its good for the shock value. If it is taken to the strip, nobody is gonna take a car with a body kit seriously... until it whoops their a$$.
That is simply amazing. I woulda never thought..

can't wait to see some more pics and info of how things are going.
Lol, i talked to you at ITB, guess i could have said something about it then but was just too disappointed it wasnt there with me.
More info etc. should be soon. I have been driving it around quite a bit (and scaring people pretty good with the exhaust) Its now running well enough to drive but not ideal as it still needs higher rpm portions tuned quite a bit- leans out badly under even a little bit of throttle.
