Re: Break-in, lazyness, stupidity, something else?

Thanks for the idea. I have been messing around lately with a 3d printer and saw some of those designs on the parts site. Really cool what one can do now. Unfortunately as a result of having lived in Philadelphia for a short period of time I’m trying to keep the radio looking stockish so I dont have...

Break-in, lazyness, stupidity, something else?

I’m starting a Bluetooth install today. It’s like i am playing with the house’s money after fixing/installing a windshield washer pump in 5 minutes. I figured id see what’s going on behind my radio. While the wiring is unexpectedly clean, only a couple wires are cut 😀, i notice when i take off the b...

You can always twin-charge if you can’t locate another. 😀

Re: Lowered the front with WCF lowering springs

Looks good! What rates are you running? Did you take it out? I imagine the alignment is off some now, unless you did that, but that probably wouldn’t stop me.

Where’s the video?

Re: The SERIOUS Wheel & Tire Thread

I don't know if 150lb/in is a good assumption for the original spring rates. I agree 1,000% on Will's point on rubber in the 80s vs modern tires ... not even current summer or max performance tires. Fiero Spring Rates Stock 4 Cyl. 6 Cyl. FRONT 1984 - 1987 179.5 lb/in 208.1 lb/in REAR 1984 - 1987 228...

Re: Crazy Pushrod Suspension Fiero on YouTube

I'm not going to make an argument for this being practical. I just think it's f'n awesome. One could say: It opens up a much wider list of vendors for spring/damper selection It allows for much easier tuning and adjustment of the damper It allows for a much wider range of spring rates and easier cha...

Re: Double Adjustables on a Fiero??!!

Yeah. I'm not upset with the guy. I've enjoyed all the products I've received over the years from them. This isn't his primary business. I didn't realize it would take close to a year, but while he took my credit card, he didn't put anything on it. I wouldn't be opposed to Bilsteins... At least he c...

I would definitely love to order a couple license plate frames if you've got the recipes for the old cafe press ones. :-D

Are you doing anything to encourage airflow through the vents other than convection?

Re: Double Adjustables on a Fiero??!!

Another disappointing update: Chris called me up about two weeks ago. He offered to ship me the fronts. Said he had received 3 sets of fronts and sold 2 of them. I asked about the rears. He tried to sell me konis. Now, I like konis. Had them on my subaru. But I don't want two different vendors' prod...
