July 2006, I built my first tuned freeflow exhaust and the results were instantly evident. The bike would unleash a lot more torque and rpms throughout the range. The exhaust was built focusing more mid-high end power I also built a tacho for quick references (Fiero never had an OE tacho) and was mounted on the dash. With this set-up I have done countless amount of touring and street blasts. The set-up was ultra reliable and would clock a true 130kmph any time of the day. Fuel efficiency was stunning at 40kmpl. I have covered a good 10600kms in a matter of 4 months and the bike only need regular oil change @ 2000kms and tappet clearance check. The bike would eat into a comet in a 400mtrs drag and also top-speed stints back then.

Well after this attempt, I decided to give my Fiero a small break. I have been a mad man behind the Fiero and it was high time I did something else. In April 2008, I picked my RTR 160 and then decided to take a tour on circuit racing. The Fiero received no attention and the engine was stripped for a few works which I took forever to complete. The bike was idle for a good 6 months.
Since the racing bug had hit me really hard, I decided to start racing the Fiero. So I need to stick to the racing class for drag racing. Hence decided build my own drag Fiero based on a 165cc engine for the Upto 165cc Group B 4-stroke class.
