Documentation for maintaining an FE

[dsmithwc04]

Hello all, I read through a thread where a member had 18 pages of documents including a pre-race checklist as well as maintenance documents regarding the FE. I just bought my FE and would like to familiarize myself with the car and any documentation would be most helpful. The individual who had the documents I read about had a computer crash and lost the electronic files. Thanks for any and all help!

I compiled a lot of stuff when I had an FE.. I'm a bit short on time for the next week or so, but send me your email and I will try and get you some files.

Alternatively, I passed all my stuff to Kazis31 whom I traded cars with. Reach out to him, he might be able to send you the same files sooner.

Thanks for the reply. He's actually who I contacted to get the documents but unfortunately his files were no longer available.

Thank you! Perhaps loading them into a dropbox account and then sharing the link to download them would work?

I will have to email a couple files.. the Elite gearbox manual and the FSCCA assembly manual are both over the 986K file size limit for pdf's. Also have a couple word docs and a zip file that don't seem to be allowed on here.

anybody else who needs them, PM me or send me an email through apex.

There are 27 files in all I think, including a comprehensive notes pages that I made which includes web links to more information or sources.

Thanks a bunch!

I'll add them to my dropbox and post a link here

Here is a link to the zip file on my dropbox account for all files posted above plus the files emailed to me from Mike that were too large to post. Feel free to download. Thanks!

First off, I visited Steve's shop in scales mound Friday and had a blast learning some tricks on maintaining my FE. Steve is great and answered any question I had. Can't wait to see One Formulas new shop open!

So, I noticed the pinion nut tool and it got me thinking... I see Taylor has a pinion nut tool but what other option s are there other than Taylor's for $300? Also, I've heard of people using a regular low profile Jack for he FE. The rear looks easy with the tow hook. The front not so much...?

Most people lift the front with a jack under the front a-arm attachment bolt. In the rear with the tail of the transaxle. You'll typically nnet to raise/lower the rear first, otherwise the transaxle pivots closer to the ground and a regular jack won't fit in there.

Someone recently sent a note asking for FE docs. Note these are not FE2, these are the original, but some may be helpful for both.
