newest project (Page 283/312) Will NOV 20, 01:06 PM quote Originally posted by Fiero2m8: Yesterday, I worked on my custom trunk compartment. First I needed to enclose the front area to keep the wind out and the headlight doors down I am using heavy guage galvanized sheet metal that is easy to form and won't rust: Now I am ready to finsh the "trunk" with indoor/outdoor carpet: Started carpet install in the lower bin cutting 3 pieces and using 3M spray adhesive: I have a custom front swaybar with a drop-down in the center. This would allow you to get rid of the big angled pop-up (which I @$$ume is there because of the sway-bar). You can have it if you pay shipping. It's the stock diameter, but because of the drop down, it's not as stiff as stock. That's fine for a high performance Fiero, especially with the capacity to adjust the front spring rate.

Hi Will, The pop up is there because I moved the vacuum pump and tank from inside the trunk to between the steering rack and sway bar. From this: To this: A dropped sway bar won't help but thanks for the offer. Yes Bubba will take some pics of the new parts... Fiero2m8 NOV 24, 09:58 PM A little more progress on the front carpet For the compound curves, best to make a paper template first I'm not sure if a spacesaver would still fit but I'd need one with the right bolt pattern Just the sides left to do with the centre section pretty much done Fiero2m8 NOV 25, 10:15 PM Picked up my Fiero Store order of some small items I needed (mostly interior door components) Fiero2m8 DEC 13, 10:44 PM quote Originally posted by bubbajoexxx: post some pics of the new pieces you will be installing On the left is the 215mm clutch and 1805 lb pressure plate On the right is the 225mm clutch and 2200 lb pressure plate I did notice the assemblies are not the same depth. Currently the delta is 76thou larger gap on the new flywheel when I measure depth from the pressure plate mounting surface to the clutch contact point on the flywheels) Currently trying to work out all the differences between the two flywheels to give accurate machining directions The front face of the ring gear is different depth in relation to clutch mating surface that will need to be factored in. Even though the new ring teeth are not as wide it's won't matter as the starter pinion fully extended didn't use the full 1/2" width on the old flywheel. A big bonus is the new flywheel has a replaceable ring gear which is in good shape versus the old one. In case you're wondering the OD of the flywheels are identical but the ID is larger to accomodate the bigger clutch. When I'm done the depth will compensate for the adapter plate that locates the transaxle housing 1/2" from the crank face The rest of the mods like drilling the 8 mounting holes and making a depth adapter can be transferred from the old flywheel design (assuming it was already in the best location). Would like to fbuy a new pilot bearing, and get the finished flywheel neutral balanced as well. Going to see the machinist on Friday to finalize the plan... bubbajoexxx DEC 13, 11:29 PM let me look in my tool box I just may have a new one in there Fiero2m8 DEC 14, 09:06 PM Finished up what I was doing with the carpeting so I can move on to other things: I worked on my LED swap for the tailights. These are 1157 bulbs from Princess Auto I used a gift card to pickup (2 orange and 8 Red plus a spare) Don't buy them unless you are prepared to modify the sockets to fit. It just required a little shaving of the plastic with a utility knife to clear the plastic housing lip. Looks good and will be easier on my sequential light system. Fiero2m8 DEC 14, 10:29 PM I also got around to upgrading the rest of the rubber coolant hoses to chrome: bubbajoexxx DEC 15, 11:27 AM NICE BV MotorSports DEC 15, 12:01 PM Jelly you have done an amazing job! Well done man!
