I have never been one to name cars (besides the color/year designation), but I think the black/yellow car will get the Impala SS LS4, G6 F40, the 13" brakes, S10 coilovers in front, C5 vette wheels, and an S10 wheel bearing upgrade... I think it deserves to be named the "Parts Bin Banshee"

If it were a dog, it'd be called a mutt.

That's the new collapsible option to make the fiero into a subcompact that will fit in the bed of a full size truck!
Haven't quite worked out the process for expanding it back to normal size... so I will need you be bring a couple more 88's down so I can try some more!

The Mutt was built and sold but will live on in the Archives.

Whats up with the front wheel bearings. I guess I missed it but are you S10 ones bolt up?

For the fronts, I am going to redrll the stock bearing flange for 5 x 4 3/4.
The S10 bearing in the rear requires extensive machining to the bearing and upright to get the two to work together. The S10 bearing housing is 3.6" in OD and the hole in the upright is 2.8". Both are being modified to about 3.10 to allow them to fit each other.[This message has been edited by fieroguru (edited 01-25-2012).]

Fieroguru;
Not sure if you have already done the work on the bearings etc. for the rear hubs but the kitcar world uses S10 bearings as you are and an '89 Cutlass Ciera hub. Same mounting points but bigger bnearing mounting to fit the S10 bearing. I am pretty sure nothing is required for machining the bearing or hub to have them mate up.
Cheers
Don

I will have to check into that... but I would prefer to only buy 2 bearings vs. 4.[This message has been edited by fieroguru (edited 01-25-2012).]
