I finally got around to swapping out the flywheel bolts. Its all back together now. The new SPEC flywheel doesnt seem happy with my starter. I get a bit of that classic chevy starter needs shimmed sound upon startup. Other than it took forever for it to relearn idle, its driveable for now.

Impression. ZOMG wow is it fast. Like properly fast! I never liked the gearing of the F23 before. Now, its fine. Each gear pulls like its 1 lower. Even on 265/35 Potenza RE760's the car will boil the tires in 2nd. High boost tune you ask? LOL not anytime soon. I'm good for now.

Now on to paint, and interior.

Well the flywheel bolt fix has been completely sucessful. I spent hours working on a solution. 10mm x 1.00 is what the crank needs to be drilled for. I used flywheel bols for a Nissan 240z from ARP. 70ftlbs of TQ, they arent backing out anymore. RESULT!

Did I mention I am tearing the car apart? I watched too many vids from turbo tom on youtube and got super excited about the car. The car is going to be completely rebuilt from the ground up. Not sure what I am going to do drivetrain wise, but the turbo stuff from my car is for sale in the mall. Once my new shop is finished (40x60 with a lift) BVMotorsports will be back up and officially running.

Damn BV your not messing around ! This went from good to very bad and back to good and now great. Way to hang through the tough times and reach for the goal of what you want this car to be. Look forward to seeing more updates. How is your other Pontiac race car doing?

Garth works so much the car hasnt moved from the garage in over a year. Sucks but, it is what it is. I just dont think he is into Fieros like he used too. But then his Fiero did get scrapped and I built the 85GT from its parts. However, we are building a 1988 FC RX7. Its gutted, caged, sbc/t5 swap & T2 diff w/ axles. It is being built for open track days. Back on the 5th we went to a track day that gave us 8hrs of track time for $199. Unbelievable! I even bought a turboshitbox. This Fiesta ST is the most fun car I have ever owned.

Back at it. Not sure what I am gonna do next. I always did want an LS swapped FD. What fate awaits the 88?

There used to be a 3800 racing engine in there, not sure I want to know what happened. (Edit) Just scanned back and see this move was intentional. Did you sell the 3800 to any one we know?

I picked up a 70k mile 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT L32. I am switching it to run on s2 wiring and electronics.



Presents!!!

WTH, that is a serious downgrade in power output!
I'm so disappointed.
