Drift car in the making

[OrangeFiero]

Got the car a little over a year ago and i figure its time to document some things. When i bought it, it had h&r sports with bilstiens, i have since done coilovers 365lbs front and 750lbs rear. Smileys and IS lip and spoiler are the only exterior modifications. In the process of doing an M50nv swap and e36 z3 rack. Some pics...

Day 1


Euroweavs


German Imported Postert Wheels


More new wheels, vw snowflakes for winter, also new coilovers


xxr's 15x9


I go through wheels a lot, now engine, the m20 is almost at 200k and needs replacing... so m50...

When i got the engine



As it sits now



Ill have a little update when i get it actually swapped, and have a current picture of the car

Nice, I've got a soft spot for Fiero's that stems from childhood.

Great progress. I have a M50 but don't have any plans on swapping it...I'm holding out for a M54/S54.

What were the four bolts to the g260? I'm trying to pick some up for my m50 swap. Did you use a gasket between the trans case and engine? Got a part #

I really wanted an m54, and i did find one for a great price too, but the swap was more expensive and i had a timeline to abide by. The aluminum block of those engines would be so worth it.

I tried to get new ones because i wanted new hardware, but they are somewhat strange size, my hardware store didnt have them in the super hard kind. So sorry i cant help you with the size. With the gasket, definitely use it, it helps align the starter and it keeps water out of the clutch, very useful. Dont have a part number though...

Haha yeah im getting to the point of reusing the gasket from either my m20 or m50 and guess ill have to try some trial and error. i want my build to go in the drift direction too... but i wanna get it swapped first..
