Real Fiero Tech

I wouldn't suppose you would be willing to ship the wing to 60914?

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks

Aparently the "van" is really a Porsche 996 GT3 with a VW Van body kit. :rotflmao:

So my car is an 87GT with 88 cradle so it has 88 rear breaks and 87 brakes up front. I have been autocrossing the car for 3 years using Resbestos pads in which I have a grippier pad up front, and a regular pad for the rear. This has worked well as far as brake balance for the car. This season I am p...

This looks totally awesome. I just wonder how much it weighs and how much lag there is. Would be a neat project if you could find the turbos for a decent price.

Have a link?? How much boost could you get??

Went to about 8 or 9 autocross events this season. I'm hoping to make just as many this coming year and also go to at least two track days at Gingerman. My biggest limit as far as events go, is $. I'm in my last year of grad school, so I don't really have lots of $ for racing entry fees/tires/brakes...

So I have been looking at a lot of different rims and was thinking about trying to convert the rear to 5x115 so that I could use the 16x8 rims from a grand prix. I figure I need at least 8 inches in width to run a 245 or larger series tire. I know that it won't be easy since the spindle is completel...

I'd really like to stay around $150 total if possible. If I was planning on using them for a long time then I probably would just buy a lightweight aftermarket rim like the kosei.

I have been wanting to go with a little wider tires in the rear for next season and am looking for some cheap 16" rims. What types of cars would have 16" rims that would have a similar offset?? I recently found some 225/50/16 and 245/50/16 used race tires. I am currently running 205/50/15 ...

Yea, but i have the 88 rear bar, and a factory front bar. That would make the rear bar larger, whereas your bars equal. Thats not counting the length of the arms like you mentioned. As I said earlier, it could be my driving, I could be coming into the turns too hot, but I find that with my car at m...

So they finally put up the results from the event in September. For some reason I was on my game that day. The couse was geared pretty well for my car as well. Usually the Corvette guys make the couse in a way that puts me between 2nd and 3rd gear. The only car that beat me was an FM overgrown go-ka...

You guys have to be joking. New Bosch O2 sensors cost all of 16 bucks in my neck of the woods. Don't be a stereotypical Fiero owner. It'll cost you not much less than that to put a 20 year old, crusty O2S in unknown condition that's been sitting out in the yard for who knows how long in. Where did ...

I like to go to the JUNK YARD for 02 sensors. Most gm cars use the same one, and all you need to bring is a 7/8" wrench. I give them a shake and listen for a rattle and if it dosent I grab it. My current 02 sensor came from an 87 camaro that my brother was gonna crush. Still works fine. I know...

Well my car suddenly gets a code 45 after it warms up for a few minutes. The O2 sensor is only about 3 years old on the car and the engine only has 10k on it. Is this code typically due to the o2 sensor going bad or something else?? What would be the best way to figure out what is exactly wrong with...

The turning on the 88 front suspension does feel slower than the earlier suspension. Not sure what you mean by that. What I'm referring to is the number of turns lock to lock and the early and late cars are about the same. I don't want to ever take my hands off the wheel. The Fiero steering ratio i...

I was hoping they would be a little cheaper than that. Oh well.

Would it be possible to convert the 88GT to ITA? What would it need?

Well I have been running in SM2 with the cradle swap even though I know it is illegal. As long as I only compete locally, noone will really bother me. If they do, then I'll go into EM. I only have a pushrod 3.4L v6, not a 3800sc or LS2. Cars in SM2 that I have raced against. Not that many since my r...

The turning on the 88 front suspension does feel slower than the earlier suspension. I used to autocross an 88GT for a few years before building the 87GT that I race now.

BTW How did you do overall??
