    Trying to decide to keep the rear brakes as they are (88 Fireo) or change them to caravan ones like I have on the front.

    Re: 1990 Consulier GTP Targa

    I would go with the Caravan brakes because as I understand it, those Fiero brakes aren't exactly a dime-a-dozen anymore.

    Nice drive up to Stone Hedge in Washington...the long way. Great drive through the hills.
    On the way out of Stone Hedge I had an axle go bad. 100 mile tow that afternoon.

    Wow, that's an unusual break on the axle! I don't like it when carnage happens, but I enjoy looking at the pics if that makes any sense. The intercooler looks pretty sharp too!

    Looks like it's time for the GTP guys to put together a DSS group buy.

    So, I knew it. All along I knew it, back when the ancient Britons and Warlocks and Merlin were in Washington!

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

    Yes, but Ken did it for me.

    The Stone Hedge in Washington is a replica of course.

    Re: 1990 Consulier GTP Targa

    Johnny...man, I'm SO sorry I didn't make it! I was on my way, too! The Masi decided it didn't want to go and I ended up being towed home, too. Still diagnosing the issue. Haven't found the root cause, yet. Ended up being kind of a bummer of a weekend, except the weather!

    Was it Brent or Kyle that cursed you and asked if you had problems with axles breaking right before it broke?

    Brent

    I think they could be a lot more ocd about those welds, and have slots cut out of the sleeve to add more beads.

    Re: 1990 Consulier GTP Targa

    Maybe the two lengths were attributed to one being pulled ou and one not. I ended up using the shorter one and it fit perfect. The welds between the two were so differant. I welded up the bad one anyway and it is now a spare.
