Re: F40 Differential Spline Data - CV Spud options

Will these plug into the F40? Compatible with GKN size 18, based on the Camaro axle I have for reference.

Re: F40 Differential Spline Data - CV Spud options

Unfortunately it looks like the BMW stubs use a 30 degree angle instead of the 45 deg that GM likes to use.

Re: F40 Differential Spline Data - CV Spud options

The 934 joint is massive and heavy . It is used for applications like unlimited class Baja trucks. At the low angles you are running with a Fiero, I can't imagine you would need more than a high quality 108mm joint, or maybe a GKN size 18 if you're going to be drag racing on a treated surface with s...

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades

Rear uprights coming along well. There are a few options for hubs including 5x120, 5x4.75, and 5x114.3. All accept large 33 spline outer CVs and there are a few different axle solutions that range from an outer CV swap to 930-style CV conversions, depending on your torque requirements. I'm using the...

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

Any possibility of using the Camaro hub and larger axle while retaining the stock Fiero bolt pattern? No, the Camaro bearing OD is 98mm. If your Fiero isn't a track car with big sticky tires, the rear bearing you want is the AC Delco 20-25K (J body application). It requires some machining to fit th...

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades

Looks good. I can't imagine you'd need any more braking capacity than that. Thanks! Definitely not at this power level, but I'm working on plans for that... :twisted: I might refinish the calipers, but I'm going to wait and see how they perform. None of the GM 4 pot Brembos have staggered piston si...

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades

Not much room for a larger brake setup in front with a 17" wheel. This is the base C7 caliper so the rotor diameter is 12.6 inches. The next step up is Z51 which has a 13.4 inch rotor. The Z51 package might fit some 17s.

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades

I designed brake hose brackets that work with the stock hose clamp and my the SPC upper ball joint plate in my adjustable upper control arms. The integrated nut is an M6 PEM insert. This finalizes the prototype assembly. I aligned the car and have taken it on a few test drives. No issues so far! Hop...

Damn dude. Seriously glad you are ok. I've had the "wake up to a turn" experience and it ended similarly. No more driving tired. Really glad you made it out of this one without serious injury to yourself or others.

Re: 40th anniversary Dyno results

If I wanted to track or drag a car or build a dyno queen, the Fiero would be down at the bottom of the list of choices. At the track you'd miss out on an underrated platform. I have an E46 M3 Competition on Bilstein PSS10s and Hawk race brake pads. I have tracked it extensively. VIR, Road Atlanta, ...

Re: 40th anniversary Dyno results

Notice how social media and even Old Europe, noone is talking about the track day on the 1.5 mile course during the 40th. Why do you think that is? Cause it was lame. There were maybe about 10 Fieros/owners that were more track-oriented. The track had 5th-gen Toyota Supras as pace cars, which were ...

There are tons of them with the HFV6 and Ecotec pattern. As far as I know the 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP F40 is the only one that has the GM metric bell housing (60 deg V6, 3800, LS4, etc).
