Real Fiero Tech

I don't know the particulars of the controller until/unless I take it apart, but the stampings look all the same, and the control layout is either identical or some have a button or two added that other don't have, but are otherwise the same. Does the timer function derive from populating the same ...

If you're just looking for a softer ride, install 1/2 ton leaf springs. If you still need to carry load, install helper air bags. It's definitely on the list of considerations, a downside to multi link is that I don't think I would be able to convert to quad steer with it, that said, quad steer is ...

Can you fit a cylinder head in one of those? A 60v6 head does fit. Can you fit a cylinder head in one of those? Tank dimensions are 19.7x11.8x7.9 (500x300x200) All the "consumer grade" 30L units come out of the same factory in China... the only differences I've seen across Amazon and eBay...

a while back I said I was going to post results of how well my ultra sonic sink worked, so I figured I would start a thread for tools we think are worth mentioning for there time, or labor saving advantages. I put this piston in the sink yesterday, the temperature of the sink was 18 C. I set the sin...

That is a fair point, the Pig Rig doesn't have a terrible ride, and has 4 corner leaf springs. I'm not dead set on 4 linking the chassis, more just considering options before I draw and build spring hangers. I've also considered what I have heard referred to as a "truck arm" suspension, si...

Thought about it, Only the half tons got multi link suspensions, and the 2500 truck frame is significantly different than a suburban frame.

Note for me:

IFM IE5366

Most heavy duty trucks run leaf springs, I've been thinking alot about my DMax suburban project, and how to go about making it ride better than a tank... In that particular project, I need to move the axle forward about 12" to get the wheelbase where it needs to be, I had been thinkin I would j...

Thanks for the replies, I'm going to look into it a little further and see what I can come up with.

It appears that sluppy123 only answers messages when he has good news, otherwise, radio silence. After some unanswered messages, sluppy123 told me last Thursday that he received the raw material: 1.png On Monday, he told me the replacement hub was done: 2.png So it may show up, possibly... I don't ...

Thanks for the replies, at this point, I drive the car alot, but if I can make it corner better with such a simple add on, then I don't want to leave that off the table.

My 85 has an 88 rear cradle, but I never have had the rear swaybar on it. is it worth trying to find one (or a swaybar period) and install it? for reference: 85 SE Front: Will's Anti dive setup Spherical bearing LCA's poly bushings in the UCA's stock springs Koni Reds 2" drop spindles addco(?) ...

I plasma cut the test flange today, it matches almost perfectly, I'm going to make a few minor changes, like slightly undersizing the inside of the ports, and strategically oversizing parts of the outside of the ports and then have a pair laser cut. I would cut them myself, but it's not economically...

glue is an interesting idea that I hadn't considered. welding to the stock lower is problematic for 2 reasons, one, it's used, but two, getting the torch into the spots needed to weld is problematic. I considered removing more material from the lower to make access for the torch, but by the time you...

over the past month I've been daily driving the Fiero, I probably shouldn't be, but i have been... lol. I'm getting the startup and warmup fueling dialed in way better than I had been living with in the past. I also started playing with a few other things, for the new engine, I will need new lifters...

for a long time I've been considering building a custom intake, sometime this past week, I took a head I had sitting in the garage and put it in a bandsaw and cut it up for research, while this is a LX9 head and not an LZx head, I figured it was worth posting the pictures here, a thread about canted...

the ball joints in the front axle are all messed up, so I've been slowly moving forward with getting the Dana 60 ready to go in, on the list of important stuff, I needed single rear wheel hubs, I picked up a set a while back. Since a new axle will be going in, I'm going to go ahead and put new brake...

Thanks! Of course my next question was going to be "Which one actually works?", but you gave a good answer already! Any idea what that cleaning solution is? Just Purple Power without the purple? I'm not sure if the ultra sonic action, or the hot solution does more, but either way, it can ...

I'm also looking at getting a ~30L eBay/Offshore ultrasonic cleaner to dealing with some of these icky grimy parts that will come off the Jeep. you absolutely will not regret a decision to do so. this solution seems pretty bang up as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KK6KR3Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2o...

that's a bummer, everything I've bought from him has been ok. hopefully he makes it right soon, you're probably running out of time to enjoy driving your car this year...
