They did. Well worth the wait. Congrats on your build & progress. Thanks for sharing it.


Did you ever produce the hood vents? IThey would would probably look cool on my black Formula (besides the functionality).

Thanks for the comments guys. The drop spindle project didn't really go anywhere, and I don't see it going anywhere in the future. Long story short, unless I have the machines to machine these myself, I can't make a profit off of them. I have probably 500lbs of castings here that are a waste. If somebody wants to buy all of them, be my guest. I already reverse engineered the spindles and have proper drawings for them with manufacturing dimensions and tolerances.

So there comes a point in many Fiero owners' lives when they have to drop the engine.... I just moved into a new house and I have more garage space now. I recently built a nice gantry crane and I wanted to put it to use.

Here is the unsuspecting victim:



And then it just happened:











The picture that everyone HAS to get when they drop the cradle:





I'll be building a new exhaust and I have an assortment of other goodies here (roller rockers, N* TB) and the big thing is to get this thing to stop leaking!

Please tell me you aren't using the trunk latch to lift the rear end! It is not designed for the load.

Most definitely not.

I drilled two holes into the wall that divides the engine bay / trunk and used two M12 fasteners to bolt a piece of 1/8" wall 2"x2" square tube to that wall. There is a large lifting eye bolted to the square tube. I can get a picture tomorrow.

I dont remember exactly , but I think I paid around 700.00 US for my street dreams drop spindles .Don't base your pricing on what you pay for run of the mill drop spindles for high volume cars . These are low volume runs at a premium price and people (like me obviously) are willing to pay what they are worth .With the drop in the CDN dollar you have a 40% premium coming to you from US customers that may make it profitable to do this .The only other drop spindles available for fieros is based on the 88 rear hub and is failure prone from what I have read .Love the stuff you are doing , keep up the great work .
