does it bolt up to a fiero tranny?

Don't even think about it. Just sell it or get a G6 (F40) tranny.

Made a wood template and the above design (PFFie) didn't fit on the '88. :unknown: This design works (Hi-Res scan). Note since this is a trace the bolt holes might be a bit off. Thickness is 3/8" steel. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/2114/bracketruler.th.jpg FIRST and THIRD hole should have...

yea I don't know where to get one. I had to get one from a member here who found one in a boneyard. I had a fitting go bad on my original, so if I can find the other one, you can just have it. Give me a couple days to locate it, I would try to source another one in the meantime in case I can't find...

I removed the line during the diag to confirm it was not clogged.

Bleeding the brakes yesterday and noticed no fluid coming out of the front left brake line. Started investigating.

The better deal for the Wilwood's seems to be @ West Coast Fieros. from FGT to sales@westcoastfiero.com date Sun, May 24, 2009 at 10:57 PM subject 1988 rotor upgrade Hello, Need a quote for the 12" Wilwood rotors and bracket for a 1988 Fiero using the stock calipers. Thanks On Tue, May 26, 2009...

Part # for those? Don't have the exact part #. I will have to call Wilwood . Rotors are about $130 each. x 4 = $520 Rotor Hats are $200 each. x 4 = $800 Total for Wilwood $1320. :shock: The advantage is the weight is about 10.7lbs vs 27lbs for the stock C4 front rotors (should help the unsprung wei...

I believe a friend of mine is, let me email him this link, he rarely posts. Thanks CF. My bad, they are NOT 13", those are 1.1" thick. The stock Fiero 1988 rotors are about 20mm (about 0.8") thick. I think I found them. Wilwood GT Series Directional Vane Rotors Diameter: 12.19" ...

Anyone using 12" Wilwood two piece rotors with the stock 1988 calipers?

Agree.

I'm considering the Sparco "Steel" entry level seat for FGTO. The price, especially the dimensions and shape (seems easy to get in and out) looks good. Any feedback on this seat? Mainly looking for the confort level. Also seems like the base where you sit is low profile cushion (sit lower)...

Is the distance from the FRONT wheel hub to fender the same on all year Fieros, if not can someone post the lenghts from the '84 to '87 and the '88?
Thanks in advance.
