Re: Real Fiero Tech Merchandise

Unfortunately I don't have the artwork anymore, but if someone has a picture of the frame I could attempt to recreate it!

Track car footwell

Who is interested in an aluminum driver's side floor plate and dead pedal for Fieros without carpet? It provides a flat floor and a better location for the dead pedal (closer to the clutch pedal). You can adjust the location of the dead pedal by drilling new holes in the floor plate panel. I plan to...

Re: CAD, Parametric Data, Drawings with Dimmensions of Suspension

I had an 88 rear upright professionally scanned by a shop that does aerospace work. No entities other than the mesh but you can create them easily enough. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7b5ac55689acf419e9673687/w/fd4da3f44e4d8818cc12e919/e/7932ad67b89c76701bb5a3d5?renderMode=0&uiState=6296d95...

Re: The SERIOUS Wheel & Tire Thread

You really don't want to run into the bump stops on the outside wheels at maximum cornering... If your track has bumps there then avoid them or increase your ride height / add more suspension travel.

Re: My 3.4 DOHC powered red and black camo '88 Fiero Track Car

DR-25 Were your wires getting brittle? OEM wire? I also hate the stock decklid connector. Brittle in some areas, rubbed through in others from abrasion, soaked through with oil, etc... The new harness is mostly virgin TXL as well as some stuff I cut out of a late-model BMW harness. How are you deal...

Re: My 3.4 DOHC powered red and black camo '88 Fiero Track Car

Progress! Finally have valid tags for the first time since 2016. Slowly making progress on interior and some rewiring. Made a new engine top end harness last weekend, all new connector shells and wrapped in DR25. Circular Deutsch connector instead of the OEM Metripack stuff. Now the only factory eng...

The only ones known to not break off the flange under track use are the OEM ones. Assuming this is a street driven car?

Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.

I haven't seen an oiling schematic for the Northstar, but if the bypass flow has already passed through an oil cooler, then the larger pump should improve cooling performance even if the added flow goes to bypass.

Re: Adjustable Upper Control Arm for '88 Front Suspension

Forward link hitting spring bell; I think this is ok, as the ball joint plate appears to get lower than the stock control arm's ball joint plate when it's on what is effectively the droop stop. https://i.imgur.com/o2nJjjt.jpg?1 My design does this too. The 88 front suspension can use a shorter droo...

Re: My 3.4 DOHC powered red and black camo '88 Fiero Track Car

Been pretty busy with the house and work for the past couple years but I've managed to find some time to install an EHPS pump from an early 2000s Vauxhall Astra (same pump Porsche uses for the GT3 Cup cars) and nearly wrap up the rewiring effort. With work taking up 110% of my time including lots of...

Re: My 3.4 DOHC powered red and black camo '88 Fiero Track Car

Wow, it's been awhile. June 2016 my clutch pressure plate failed on the track (stuck engaged), and I limped the car to WCF where it sat for a year. I spent a few weekends up there replacing the clutch and giving the car a much-needed wiring refresh, and a full redesign of the engine coolant piping w...

Re: 3.4 DOHC OBDII vs. OBDI

Your situation is going to require a custom reflash either way. The 91-95 ECU will have the wrong map for the 96-97 heads and intake, but the 96-97 OBD II ECU doesn't natively support a manual transmission.

Check with Ryan at gmtuners.com as he may have done the swap this way before, or tuned for it.

That's good news.

I wonder they'll rework an older plate to install the new flat heads. Or did you determine it wasn't needed if using an F23?
