My Fiero

[Mighty Thor]

I planned on getting the tinted quater sail panel, tail light cover replace, and paint it all red.

It's a 3 speed auto, which is loosey after 65mph. I wanted to get the 5 speed but the owner wants 3k. I got this for $1750 with a lot less mileage. The engine is rated 140hp and 170tq and it runs really good. Except the idle is erratic. The handling is awesome eventhough the bushings are worn out.

I hope to replace the engine with a GTP someday or a 3800 II someday.

Re: My Fiero

Not too bad for the price. I'm not a fan of Fiero's at all but I can't say they are not good/fast cars. I know a few people who have some really nice Fiero's.

You should paint it black with red accents!

Yeah it's hard to fine a nice Fiero. I bought this one from a doctor. It was his only car when he was studying for med. He really loved the car. He wanted to paint it and put a V8 from V8archie, but he got married and got a baby.

It's a lot of fun to drive. I need to seafoam it soon.

Re: My Fiero

Re: My Fiero

you use a fwd engine, and reverse the shaft. My g/f has one that her grandfather bought brand new and it only had 2,036 miles on it when she started to drive it. I love the damn thing!!! It hasn't hit 19k yet, but it's getting close lol. I'm gonna make a project car out of one and drop either an lt1 or an ls1 into one once I graduate.

Re: My Fiero

That is COOL! What year? 87? That's the best-looking model. How much do those things weigh?

It's kinda confusing about their weight. I found one info that say they weigh about 2300lbs. for the GT. Which is probably correct. Another info I got was that it weigh 2575lbs.

I mean there's not much to this car that would make weigh more than 2300lbs. At Pennock site a guy dropped an LS1 with turbo and his car weigh 2975lbs which includes the 200lbs driver. Imagine the power and pull on this little car.

Nice car THor, def. do a GTP swap or LS1, that would be a beast.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards GTP or NA 3800. But I just can't do it right now because of a major financial set back.

I'm going to finish the firebird first with HPP tuner, carbon fiber driveshaft, Vigilante, and I still have the pacesetter sitting around. I'm going to call it done and then work on the Fiero.
