Located at Hutchinson Island. there is a fee to partake, but its pretty reasonable. There is another weekend coming up with whats called a Novice school March 1 and another race March 2.

AutoX is quite literally the cheapest form of racing. Ive been participating in the Atlanta Region on and off the past 2 years, but I am more dedicated to Buccaneer region (Savannah). I started racing in Formula SAE (Collegiate design/built/prepped Open wheel car) and changed to my WRX, since then I bought an 86 Fiero with the 2.5 that will make its debut sometime this season.

Its a real fun cheap hobby, if you plan to go AutoX at some point, let me know!

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Preferred Clutch kit?

« on: September 17, 2013, 11:00:50 pm »

I am in need of replacing my clutch in my '86 2M4. The car is mostly going to be used as a SCCA track day/AutoX/RallyX car. I'm looking for a stock replacement clutch kit that is reccomended for this use and can stand up to it a little better then a standard clutch kit. I would go with the consumer favorite according to RockAuto.com, except that there isn't a declared favorite. Are there any "better" clutch kits for this application?

Thanks,
Alex

I don't think the guy had his Fiero with him that day, but I believe he introduced himself as Jeremy.

Yeah from what I've been reading the Duke isn't a engine suited for what I am doing, but for the time it will do the job. After all the car is going to be for fun. I'd like to put a V^ in it eventually but that is way off in the horizon in terms for the project.

As far as I can tell there isn't any form of ID of it being an SE or some other model Fiero. The only clear markings that I see are 2M4. I live in Mcdonough but I go to school at GA Southern where I am a member of the Formula and Baja SAE Teams.

Modifications that I have planned for the Fiero are kind of unknown. Im going to start stock and over time make it bigger, better, faster, etc. I actually ran into another member of this club that pointed me to this forum while I was at Pull-A-Part and he said one thing I could do to the Iron duke is put a GM 350 V8 fuel injector to get a little extra "umph."

I've actually started building this car "backwards," as I said it currently doesn't run, but I haven't noticed any real signs of why it shouldn't from the brief work I have done. Once I get my patched fuel tank back Ill start work on the power train this weekend. Currently I've got some BBS alloys off a VW in Pull-A-Part that I will run my Hoosiers for AutoX, I installed some Summit "Race" seats in it cause the original Fiero seats were garbage, a set of tail lights, and the fuel tank from PAP. Depending on how bad the engine and trans may or may not be, its then a matter at looking at whats next in importance to fix. It might need a new clutch, and will be in need of new brakes. I guess its a good thing I dont have the Fiero down here at school with me, haha.

Hey Guys,

My name is Alex and I just recently purchased an '86 2M4. I bought this with the intentions of just having car to serve as an AutoX/RallyX/Drag/Troll Car/ and minimal street duty. this is my first experience with a Fiero or anything of this type of platform. I daily drive a Subaru WRX, but love just about any car on the road. I look forward to getting my hands dirty on this Fiero.

I bought it for a modest $200. The story behind it was that the owner I bought it from wanted to learn how to be a mechanic, hit a snag in terms of finances, and had to park it; it sat for five years then I became the lucky owner of a non-running Fiero. Fortunately in doing some diag and beginning tinkering with it, it appears to be solid and in need of a good amount of T.L.C to get it back to running condition. I'm really excited about this car. and I cant wait to get more into it.
