Club's Formula Fastback

[GTRS Fiero]

Should keep the notchback tail lights when converting.

[Raydar]

Paul Angel was working on something that would allow just that. He had blended a set of notch tail lights into a fastback clip.
Not sure how "complete" it was.

Like the PPG fastbacks?

Like the PPG fastbacks?

Very similar. You have to use the taillight section of the notchback clip with the fastback clip. I have molds for the filler panels needed to fill in the area between the taillights & the fastback clip & decklid. It took well over a hundred hours to make the filler panels on the prototype, so that's why I pulled molds from it to make the job much easier & quicker.
I haven't put them on my website yet or even determined a price for the three pieces.

In looking at the picture above, it looks as if the EGR is blocked off.  Why leave the valve at all, if blocking it off?

[Fierofool]

He left the solenoid, too, along with is's vacuum and electric connected.  Probably to avoid the constant SES light.  Also, remember that this mod was done in the early years, maybe before people became adept at reprogramming the ECM's to change values in programming.  The solenoid also plays a part in something else.  I remember Raydar posting something about that function. 

[Raydar]

The solenoid switches vacuum to the EGR valve, and it also monitors that vacuum, and tells the ECM when it should be there, and isn't. (Code 32)
The only other thing that I can think of that it does, is blow the fuse for one bank of injectors, if it shorts out.

[GTRS Fiero]

Interesting routing of the vacuum line going to the EGR, also.  The line seems to be tight against the distributor.

Dang.  Hard to believe that page 11 was on 3/10, and we have so many pages since then.

If anyone is up to it we would like to meet on Sat and do a few other little things that are low cost
Remove side scoop
Change oil and filter
Change fuel filter
Change end links and bushings

Charlie mentioned going in the afternoon, after the meeting. If so, I'm planning to be there.

[GTXVette]

I'll Pull 1st. Shift then, and maybe leave ya something. I was going with the meeting was yesterday and had my W.E. messed up.Charlie pointed out Easter was the 1st and Sunday. so this was not 2nd WE.

[GTRS Fiero]

Progress?

[Raydar]

Charlie, Mike... I found the endlink bolt in my shop. It'll go in the mail to Mike, in the next day or so. It'll be in a book-sized white bubble wrap envelope, if you want to keep an eye out for it. It's wrapped in cardboard so it doesn't punch through the plastic. Should be lots of fun to open.
 
The nut that was on the bolt felt like it was binding. But that may be by design. I also found another nut, and stuck it on there, too. Your choice... 

[Raydar]

Progress?

The oil, and filter, and the fuel filter have all been changed. (They had that done before I got there.)
NAPA didn't have the sway bar endlinks that their computer said they had. Fortunately, I found one in my shop when I got home. Going to drop it in the mail to Mike.
The car sounds good. Has that same thump/rumble in the exhaust that I remember. Still having clutch hydraulic issues.
Getting closer...

[GTRS Fiero]

I know nothing about clutches, but this particular one has been iffymatic (combination of iffy and problematic) for some time now.  IIRC, there was mention of bleeding the clutch.  I don't recall what came of that.  Since this Fiero is "rust-free", there shouldn't be rust in the cables, but I don't know if that's been tested or not.  Then there's the question of what happens when things fail.  My understanding is that something with the slave cylinder is a common failure.
