Real Fiero Tech

Just got off the phone with Chris and he is ready to do the rears now. so hopefully before the end of April I'll have some pictures of shocks on my vehicle.

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

Woah! How many fieros do you have?

Awesome work! I wonder what was causing it to sit so high originally.

LOOKS GOOD!

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?

That's really cool!

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...

agree... especially without a bar

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...

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.

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

Glad to see this beast is still alive!

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...

So while stumbling around youtube while looking at random nonsense to pass the time while I work out, I ran into this. Thanks youtube algos 8) He cut holes through the wheel well, welded in mounts for some bell cranks and mounted QA1 coil overs up front! Fiero-PushRod 1.png Fiero-PushRod2.png Fiero-...

Thumbs up on the heat exchanger

Congrats Shaun. How is this not in tech?

As a status update, I spoke to Chris again. He said he ordered them and is waiting on Viking to assemble and ship... it's looking like maybe a winter project... we will see.

Sorry to hear about your friend Will. I hope selling some old projects is therapeutic and good time with your dad. I know since I've been home during the pandemic, I've tried to clear out what I can out of my garage and basement through ebay and the like. That car is looking pretty close to road rea...
