Thank you!
I certainly did not invent this. I have just been using this mod for long enough to give a "long term" review - opinion (:-).
If you brakes are in a good state of repair and still lack the feel you are after (not responsive enough), then I would go for it!

I bought one about 6 months ago but haven't install it. My theory is that it should make my non-vacuum window safer to stop. by applying more pressure.
The camshaft in the car doesn't make much vacuum but I did installed an auxiliary vacuum pump. Nice video!

Thank you for the comment Sir! I would think it would assist more than the stocker regardless of how much vacuum you have. After you install, leave your feedback if you wouldn't mind!
Cheers!

Spamming PFF to get YT ad money is Very Weak. Another reason to use YT ad blockers.
"Clean" etc on California Roads makes this upgrade safe... Not.
This video Worse then a "White paper" pushing SS Brake hoses in "rubber brake lines vs stainless steel" http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/129208.html ------------------

OK, now THAT is funny.
We call them prison legs. Most inmates do not work on the legs as much as the rest.

Thanks Ogre for saying what i was thinking. I didn't click the video and just read the comments to see what it was. I wish he would have put the s-10 booster in the link, but it was clearly avoided to encourage click thru.
Please just put the info in the post and ask to support the channel. Many would be happy to do so without the 'click-bait' garbage.

Ogre.
Spammers drop unrelated garbage that people don't care to watch and flood you with it. They usually drop in one day and are never seen again. You know - the person that joined the forum yesterday and is on post #2.... I have been on this forum for 9 years and sincerely love Fiero's - if you actually read any of my posts or watch any of my videos that should be clear. I have owned about 13 of them over the past 35 years - you don't do that unless you like them.
PFF has slowly been dropping off in volume of activity each year since I have been coming here. I am trying to make things a little more lively and hopefully somewhat entertaining & educational. Everything I post on the technical questions forum is 100% related to Fiero's.
Sorry if you don't agree with the S-10 Brake booster upgrade but I happen to believe that it is the best upgrade for the Fiero (and many others like it too). It does not change front rear bias so there is no safety concern. My 19 year old son can squat 350lbs. MY Daughter can squat 75 lbs. So what you are saying is that when my son drives the Fiero with an STOCK brake booster it is unsafe because his leg is too strong??? I don't get the logic as to how extra assist from the S10 booster (a preference item really) is somehow unsafe.
As for me making a fortune posting a FIERO video on Pennocks Fiero Forum - I will be lucky if I make $5 per hour for the time I put into it - when all is said and done. Each Video Takes 5-20 hours. It's true. I like Fiero's, I like making Videos and just like peanut butter and jelly, some people put the two together.
From reading your contributions the past years - they are always quite good and it is clear you are very well educated - automotive and other. You have put a lot of time into your Cave and direct people their daily - which is awesome and appreciated by all.
If you lived nearby I would stop by with a beer or a soda so we could talk - I think if you got to know me better you would know I really am a Fiero guy and a decent human being. I hope you will think about this and change your mind. If you don't, then simply ignore my posts.
Cheers.
Dime
