Franks' Fierce Fiero

[Gerrit]

Here are some pics to proof we spend this weekend in a decent way.
We're building a Pontiac Fiero for SG (maybe SC later)
First race weekend is scheduled for June 18 at the Drachten drag strip in The Netherlands and
we're not there yet.

This weekend we fired it up and checked all fluids.
We detected a leaking freeze plug and we had to replace it.
Starter didn't disengage so we clocked and shimmed it a dozen times without positive result.
A new starter is ordered and hopefully we'll be able to test drive it some meters next weekend.
Keep you posted...

cool car.... umm, jack stands are special, clear-plastic ones? ;)

Re: Franks' Fierce Fiero

Be glad it is a tube chassis car with just a few Dzus fasteners to remove body work. Working on the engine in it's original location sucks beyond belief.

Looking forward to seeing more of this car.


Fierce Fiero is a cool name too.

No wheelbase + massive power = announcer's dream.

That's a kick ass rig. I bet it'll be a handful!

Yes, yes yes.... It runs and we had a great day.
Starter issues gone. Today we were able to put down some rubber.

That car is insane. Wonder what it would look like with a 10-71 or bigger...

Re: Franks' Fierce Fiero

Yesterday we were able to align the front wheels and set the initial timing to 10 degrees.
And this was our last chance before we head to this year's 1st dragrace weekend at the
Drachten dragstrip, we did some test runs.

So you wanted more video's; here they are. Have fun... (We did)

Very nice! It always amazes me to see that some of the most involved buildups are from the Netherlands! You wouldn't by chance know "Twin Turbo" would you? He runs http://www.vettemod.com.
