The way the new condenser and evaporator are made today with smaller and smaller pathways once black death starts...they have to be replaced as well...(per scotty kilmer )

Eric,

just catching up on everything here since last year.... you're right across the border in SC, right? You aren't too far from where the GA Fiero club meets on the east side meetups...

cool property, shed, etc...!

Just a quick update from me - I did order a set of the Coleman racing spindle adapters for my 88. Picked them up this weekend. They look very sturdy. As draven mentioned, the hub section does extend quite a ways through the wheel, and require a 70mm center bore on the wheel and brake rotor (standar...

What I learned with ac flushing

Can't flush drier, compressor, and if any sludge present questionable for evaporator and condenser, especially if recent aftermarket due to pathways being waaay to small as they clog with black death debris.

AFAIK, it's due to moisture in system degrading the pag oil thereby deteriorating the teflon in the compressor which then also exposes bare metal with degraded oil then a sludge of metal, oil, moisture, and teflon ensues.... Even though I flushed all the hoses (engine bay to condensor, condensor to ...

Getting back into life and the fiero.... Decided to pull the orifice tube to see what the condition the condenser and evaporator are in.... https://sat02pap001files.storage.live.com/y4mONb8K1i4T6n9GPUEE-2xos-zmVa3WoOc60EdxKbQfv-AWgqqvwSiE6W88Qc6NqiCHdVL7CnvFJeS4wR-M8tbw1-U37-Qe2MsCwdGYJgLSDtJhnwa-Zt...

Totally understand bouncing around and having to go with something ballpark, i.e. the moog fronts and then designing from there given the limited spring selection with the front suspension, pre 88 AND 88's and not relying on a "kit" that someone else thinks is the best setup....i.e. steven...

What is your target suspension frequency?

I'm kind of wondering how the stock Fiero was supposed to work with ~150 lb/in rear springs, though maybe it shouldn't be counted as an example of "what to do". Yeeesh on the search... :-D Ride compliance for the average american driver... (no correlation between your search and that stat...

Very sorry for the loss of your friend. Not to get political etc... but Anecdotal Covid experience for everyone here: I just recently got through Covid last month and am back to 100%. If you or anyone you know contracts it, have them get to a doc-in-the-box, immediate-care, etc.. facility. Earlier t...

My "plan" is to go with a layer of the boating engine bay insulation with an aluminum sheet patterned from a template from fieroGuru. Then polish, brush, lizardskin, or gold foil the aluminum based on the heat my setup produces. Probably lizardskin the other three sides of the bay. Waiting...

Did he list how much of a drop they provide?

Just go to OE and look up the differences between the Ryane and latter versions to make sure he's selling the older one's...

84-87 or 88 suspension?

Just an idea... something you might be able to work with....

Got the radiator shroud from the c7 corvette trimmed enough to clear the hood vent and have been building custom mounts very similar to Series' but the mounts will also retain the shroud against the radiator as well as a set of top brackets as well... Waiting for new AC Condensor to arrive because y...

I still have the spindles on a front crossmember with corvette steering rack waiting to go in but I'm in the middle of an engine swap at the moment.. During test fit I did have to hone out the lip on the motegi mr116's that retain the center cap as that interfered with the hub conical section.. just...

re-do everything you already did to the fan shroud to move it "downhill" 1/2-1" without moving it closer to the radiator? hmmm.. she's already as low as she can go.. flush with the lower bracket flange of the radiator.... after closer inspection while dark and a flashlight under the ...

Removed the factory 30+ year old radiator.... and well.. I guess this is one of the reasons it wasn't cooling very well... https://sat02pap001files.storage.live.com/y4m4m7Z8As8SB6nTAEil0j-SJiLiY_OYGppnIlop2FE0jjecKQ5K1q-59w7oqzImlAx16kOTi4kXYgHjRbOAq4yHBObwCA0P1xWCO-Qt68XyFdp2l20TkMtOFrZnpy-6Rc6nJ9I...
