Re: WTB G6 F40
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).

Re: WTB G6 F40
Any suggestions on where else to look other than car-part and the self-service yard listings? On car-part there are 3 in the US right now..

Who wants to part ways with that F40 they've been keeping around in their basement for "some day"?

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades
6061. I might switch to 7075 if I make another set to just to avoid having to use a steel insert for the LBJ. THATS HAWT! maybe I missed it, how do they compare to stock weight wise? Comparing the knuckle+steering arm+hub+LBJ the gain is 4 lbs per corner. The brakes obviously add weight as well but ...

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades
Got the left side mounted today and tested the articulation. Found some minor interference to the lower control arm at full droop plus left steering with high caster angles, but that's easily fixable with some sanding, and I'll add a relief in the CAD. The real issue is my lower ball joint is sunk t...

Re: Will's Bug Out Rig: Duramax Van
Do you know anyone with an Allison in a working vehicle that you could install a CAN logger in for a bit? Just need a few conditions.. stopped, engine off. Start engine. Idle. Put in drive and stand on brake for a few seconds. Drive off at steady slow speed first gear. Then a gradual acceleration up...

Re: '88 wheel bearing and hub upgrades
Things are getting real... The first prototype billet uprights for the 88 Fiero have arrived. Feature highlights: Massive wheel bearing strength upgrade as well as stronger ball joints. Inexpensive 4 pot Brembos (Camaro6, C7, and C8 Corvette), 5x120 bolt pattern for wheels (BMW fitment with hubcentr...

Re: wet sump engine oil control, a thread.
My oil pressure drops during long left sweepers. 200tw tires, front splitter and a smallish rear wing. I overfill the pan on my LQ1 by about a quart. Oil pan is stock. Stock windage tray.
I didn't know it was happening until I reviewed some in-car video. Android tablet datalogger showing about 1.1G.

I banned the bot. It definitely was based on ChatGPT or a similar LLM. They just fed it the content of the thread and it came up with the most likely response.

Re: SN95 Mustang Knuckles on front of Fiero?
Something like this might work but you need to make a new lower ball joint boss and steering arm. Also the front sway bar end link on the 88 Fiero will interfere with the steering arm. After you solve those issues will the geometry be right? They aren't cheap parts to begin with so what are you savi...

Re: SN95 Mustang Knuckles on front of Fiero?
SN95 has MacPherson strut front suspension. They are nothing like the Fiero front. Are you thinking of the Mustang II?

If you use the C5/C6 wheel bearing geometry, there is a Chrysler application bearing with the 4.5" pattern that bolts right on and even takes the same axle: 513089 (93-04 Intrepid). Is there an outer CV that works with Fiero axles? GM used 27 splines on the large pattern A-bodies and 33 spline...

Re: progress on the banshee...
The Timkens, like all other aftermarket wheel bearings for the Fiero, are junk. In track use they have been known to break off at the flange. On the street, longevity is poor. Make sure to tighten your axle nuts properly. Loose axle nuts will ruin the bearings very quickly. OEM Fiero bearings are di...

Re: 1988 Fiero track car
The Cavalier bearings add 2mm offset to the hub so you may need to face your uprights or make some changes to your brake brackets. The stock sliding calipers can accommodate the change but those fixed mount Porsche calipers probably won't.
