I don't know about anybody else, but I'd like to know what this suspension setup is on?



...oh, and amazing progress on the Fiero. I wish I had that motivation and ingenuity, haha.

EDIT: 3rd page pwnage. Win.

Hi, 1986 Fiero GT!
That suspension is not from my Fiero. I'm not so rich yet
It's from off-road prototype. It's "Ohlins"

I figured it wasn't on your Fiero...I was just curious what it was on. I had some sort of crazy off-road buggy front cantilever suspension setup in mind. I was partially right, haha? Ohlins makes good stuff.

Amazing job to say the least. Keep up the good work! I just found this thread so let me add my belated "Welcome to the Forum". When you have a chance, tell us a little about yourself; why did you choose English as a second language, where does your interest in cars come from and what attracted you to Fieros?

My brother has some Ohlins up in his bedroom he got free from work. They are good coil overs.


Oh, and keep up the good work

Getrag 5 speed? Looks like it. That would make your 86 one of the rare few that got that trans (gearbox) in 86. Somewhere around only 2000 total for 86. Great work so far! Welcome to the forum and the addiction!

Fieroseverywhere, yes it's Getrag, but it from '87GT of my fathers friend, who present me this engine.
In original my fiero also was equipped with V6, but I don't know was it Getrag or Isuzu...

revin, yes I know what this book is just a piece of.. paper But I was needed least something to work
Big thanks for links! Will see whats there!

Vernon8360, hmm how to say...
Lets begin from simple: I was learning English at school, but I think there I don't get much knowledge... And learning it now by myself..

My interest for cars... Think I was born with it... Inherited it from my father... And all my life was connected with cars and car building...

What attracted me to fiero? Rather who and what... I think in larger part it was Alex Koulygine and his Plazma. But I need say what I know about Laura 3(thats like kit was called when it was firstly produced) scinse 1995 when was done first Laura 3 car. But I was realy fall in love then I was seen Plazma photos.

I see. Mine is from an 87GT. Yours came with either a 4speed or possibly a Getrag then. Isuzu was 4 cylinder only. Can't wait to see more of your car. You work fast!
