As you can see it is not your average build where people look for a streetable car. And taking all three main aspects of the build I can see where Mender is coming from. The on and off the throttle and the way the power is delivered were the reason that contributed to a rapid failure not the clutch drops like Will indicated because I don't do that.

Mender was really talking about wheel hop.
Aggressive throttle response isn't any more detrimental to drivelines than less aggressive throttle response.
Your transmission broke because you were driving the 4 cylinder transmission too hard.
Here's how I broke an axle: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../000121-18.html#p708
That was in a car with 300 WHP and the same torque, going for a 1.7 second 60 foot time, WITH some wheel hop.
Notice the VHT on the tire.
I asked about your axle breaking because that's very unusual outside of a drag strip environment. Judging from the failures you've experienced, your driving style, especially with the welded diff, is VERY hard on your equipment.

STUNNING!!!!
Respect for the work and the aspirated engine, I can only imagine how much fun your fiero is to drive.
What is the weight of the car?

Really? Wow.. that is under 1000 kg! (984 to be exact) My goal is to take my Notch down to 1100 kg so that must be more than doable maybe I can even go under that.
Beautiful build and I am so curious to see what you will do in the wheelarch extender department.
(really curious about bumperpad notchback aerodynamics)

I'm working on a nose design to add more downforce on the front and flat-bottom the entire car. For that I have to revise the exhaust to be tucked inside.
I want to make it look like a 1980's Group 5 racer.

Well it won't be as aggressive as that M1 but kind off. But I want work on the nose and the flat-bottom first and see how it handles and then work at the back.
The nose is going to look something like this;
Right now I have no head lights so with this style I can integrate some similar head lights.[This message has been edited by La fiera (edited 02-22-2018).]

Back in the mid / late 1980s, GM ran some "Fieros" in the LeMans circuit. They were called Fieros, but in reality had almost nothing in common with a real Fiero. Here's a photo of one:
So maybe you could draw some inspiration from another Fiero!
