Bought a new toy!

[95_Mystique]

My first purchase that is not a Ford product. My first 2 door, my first 2 seater, my first RWD, and my first mid engine.

I had a '86 back in highschool. The girls loved it. It was always nice to have two on top of eachother in the passenger seat with one straddling the center console. I always loved the look of the Formulas and they were a blast in the winter especially with a manual. I hope your headlights are just locked and not stuck up.
Do a quick youtube search for V8 fieros and have a blast! I think the latest craze is transplanting a 5.3l LS4 (same engine as I have in my grand prix)

I heard they have lots of problems idk if its true but small version of the firebird

 

[95_Mystique]

I bought the car to fix up and sell. Apparently they formed a collectors status. They are known for problems, but that's mostly because people focus on the negative side of things, and mostly due to poor maintenance.

 

[SVT CONTOUR LOVE]

That is very true poor maintance on anything will cause lots of problems

Looks like MNstuckinMI's car.

Wow, that car is beautiful! I wish my paint looked that good.

I've seen people swap in a 3.8 out of a Pontiac grand am

Actually, that'd be Grand Prix. Grand am never came with a 3.8

Needs more LSx!

The only way to be able to mod this car is to sell the SVT. I bought this car as a restoration project to make money.

A compilation he made of his cars too.

 

[RRT_SVT]

you have a potential fun car there.

3.8 from a gtp, a custom computer from zzp perfromance, fuel pump and some reinforced clutch kit and have a car around 260 hp in the half weight of a gtp.

nice car.

 

[95_Mystique]

As much as I would love to, that would involve selling the SVT.

I saw one here in GR Mi with a vanity plate that said cadpwer IIRC. It was painted bright yellow too. I do know the northstar bolts right up with almost no modification. one featured in HOT Rod mag. http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_9903_1987_pontiac_fiero/viewall.html

Well, I got the headlight motor replaced tonight, and I drove the car about 130 miles over the weekend. Overall, it runs pretty good. Needs some very minor things, but before you know it, it'll be mechanically sound.

Engine cleaned up nicely. Time to start body work?

 

[theSCHAFF]

I used to have a huge crush on Fiero's in high school! I'd love to have one as a project to stance and lay out! Thing could have some awesome potential IMO! On a side note, saw the rolling shot and recognized the wheels on the Fiero as 17" Monte Carlos, which is a VW OEM wheel... so that must mean it has a 5x100 bolt pattern, which is great because it give you an awesome selection of wheels, esp in rear wheel drive, you can do major offset / lip and staggered fitment if you wanted!

 

[95_Mystique]

Lee, in about two weeks when I have all of the mechanical things fixed up, i'll be ready to start the body work. I know you texted me, but pm me a list of all of the things you think I'll need and i'll start stocking up on supplies.
