It's still a work in progress, but the Fierovation widetrack "Z" rocker is taking shape very well.



Thinkin' about mounting Will's new Pegasus badges. This is just a paper printout.

Cartist!
So awesome.

It's just a rough shape with black primer mist to better see the surface contours. It'll take a bit more shaping to zero-in Thanks.

That`s really looking good.

Thanks. I may not be able to finish it until after summer...starting designwork on the new fi512 nose.

VERY, very nice work... great flow front to back...

I like that!

Hopefully it all comes together this year. thanks.

I am digging it!! Is there anything you cant do??

Yeah. I still can't do two things at once very well.

Amida,

Got to see your nose in person (on Dean's car) at Daytona, and that piece is a work of art !

The others just can't compare.



I also heard a couple people talking about how they were going to purchase the new nose you were working on !

Thank Ferrari & Pininfarina for the design, I just did a little tweaking & melding is all. Wished I were there...fun looking event. Maybe next year I'll make the long trek with my widetrack F6.

What's the story on that F40 looks very-very interesting

This is cool.
What do you plan on doing with the original side marker? Keep it, fill it in, or ditch the molding all together?

quote Originally posted by ferrobi: What's the story on that F40 looks very-very interesting

It's a longitudinal build in Northern Cal. Tube chassis, turbo charger, Porsche g50 trans. I don't know much about it yet, but it's looking to be a very nice replica. I'll have to ask him more about it.

As always, just "wow"

I really like the look you're going for. Although I'm not so crazy about the led's in the splitter... maybe its just that there are several different light shapes going on in the front there, or just already lots of them.

Regardless, its really agressive looking!

At 9/16" thick & 5" off the ground it has very little visual impact, only when it's illuminated as DTRL (daytime runnings lights) does it make a huge impact. You just wait n see.

soo uhh... you plan on reproducing this widetrack Z kit for sale?

quote Originally posted by HI-TECH: soo uhh... you plan on reproducing this widetrack Z kit for sale?

That's a possibility, as you can see the rocker was designed to fit with the fender flares so that'll be the starting point. But really the main reason for doing this was to cover the potruding Porsche 911 wheels on this Formula. Once I'm completed I'll take it around to display, and if I get a good response from it I may tool-up the "Z" rockers as well. I should also add that the fender flares will be going on Ebay eventually as "universal" for all makes/models. Part of my effort to diversify away from kitcars & Fieros. Thanks.

I'll have to keep an eye out for those rear flares... I'm looking for something that will fit the fiero nicely but are still subtle and small. I don't have wheels that protrude very far, but I'd like to add a little flare to the rear to give the back end more shape. More for the "visual impact"

That is odd, How far do your rear wheels stick out? That's not usually a problem with Fieros.

Well right now they're totally fine. But I would like to run maybe a 3/4inch - 1 inch spacer on them if thats possible so I can throw a subtle flare on, and have the wheel sit flush.

This car is starting to appeal to me.

How wide do you need them to be.? My universal flares are 5.5" wide & can be cut down & tailored to fit different applications.

Tell me, if you know, isn't a stock legit 512TR nose wider than a stock Fiero? By like 5-6 inches? If so, and you could integrate that, then I'd be in line to buy whatever kit you might produce.

What is the smallest wheel spacer that you can buy?

I figure if my rim sits pretty flush now, and I want more of a flared look in the rear, if I space my wheel say an inch? Then I'd only need the flare to come out an inch.

How thick are the adapters that you are using?

Yes, the new nose is sectioned to remove 4.5".

Rob,
thanks for helping me with the DD porject, I sent you a PM about another one

quote Originally posted by Amida: Yes, the new nose is sectioned to remove 4.5".

That sucks. Well, to me, anyway. Thank you for letting me know. Wider IS Better!

quote Originally posted by Amida: I'm using hub & wheel centric ALCOA 6061-T6 billet aluminum adapters from Fred Goeske at http://www.wheeladapter.com/wheel_adapters.php . For the rear I'm using 1", and for the front, to minimize scrub radius, I'm using 3/4" up front. The wheels will need to have cavities between the lug holes for 3/4" adapters because the stock Fiero studs will stick out by 1/4". With the high offset of my front wheels the new wheel center is only outboard by 13mm compared to the stock Fiero centerline.

Thanks for the info Amida.

The wheels I'm using have a dual universal bolt pattern... so I guess what I could do is buy a set of spacers/adapters like these so that I could utilize the larger bolt pattern on the rear wheels. Therefore, the 1/4 inch worth of stud from the 5x100 bolt pattern can pass through the holes in the rim intended for the 5x100 bolt pattern. (There is no recess in the back of the rims) I think that would work.

Would be cool to have a slightly wider rear end with the stock front width.

Gettin the ideas brewin over here

Final mock-up of F6 widetrack splitter before Fi355 nose is removed to makeway for new Fi512 nose project.

The holes will line up so there shouldn't be any problem. My rear flares are 3.25" wide to cover the 10" Porsche wheels and that extra shoulder width really gives the car a very aggressive stance. When I start modeling the rear diffuser attachment I'll post more pics of the rear.
