Re: Lz9 + 4 spd manual trans in 86 GT swap

We did a bit of a test fit a week ago. The mount is pretty close. Eric, we might be able to slot things and make it work but it looks like we would want to move it over ~10mm-11mm ideally so it goes in without slots. Note the setup has wcf mounts that located fine with the stock mount. Appreciate al...

Handles like a go cart

Saw this come through just now. It actually looks pretty nicely done for what it is: https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2025_pontiac_fiero_img_2334-74108.jpeg?fit=940%2C626 This go-kart was constructed by Bird Automotive of Omaha, Nebraska, and was designed to resemble a Pontiac Fi...

Re: Moderator

Most of what is pinned to the top could be deleted and the prior moderator hasn't been on the board since Obama's first term.

Not about disk space.

Re: LZ9 and LZ4 Fiero Swap Parts

Some shots below. Couple thoughts: 1. Nice welds. 2. Real clean cuts. 3. Paint looks pretty nice not even considering how fast you made it. 4.

Re: Lz9 rotating assembly weights

That sounds like a nightmare. Thanks for the heads up. I wondered why people were pulling "good" rods. If you go used, you probably could find a set of Ti rods, on a budget. This one is $1,250: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266472618709?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo...

The move to the new server is done. There are a couple things I need to tidy up, but if you see anything major, let me know.

Thanks! Made another sample, this one was almost spot on, except for the vertical member going to the block was still too long, I forgot to correct it when I made the other changes yesterday. https://i.imgur.com/5N65H4y.jpg Can you tighten up the slots?
