I just got the fiero for my first car, and wow....these cars are so much fun to drive...I cant even explain how amazed and happy I am right now. It's been bored .60 over, it has port and polished heads, Chip, CAM,High Perf. Wires, Holly throttle body, Borla Exaust, ECU, Shift Kit, Dodge Viper GTS Blue Paint that about 2 years old. Upgraded sound inside, wood grain kit from the fiero store. Motor has less than 1000 miles on sense we did everything to it in like 2003....Its a great ride...

I love all the looks that people give when your at the light. When there just thinking what in the hell is that thing....My first time i filled up the car, the guy in the grand prix gtp next to me asked what size v8 was in it...I just smirked...

Here are some pics of the car.....tell me what u think or what i should change....

Thanks, Love the the forum...always a great help.

Cool! I got my first Fiero when I was 17 and boy did I feel like I was on top of the world driving around in that car. I hope you are having fun! Your car is awesome, enjoy it!

Stay Safe!

Love the cup holder. The interior looks to be in really good shape as well. I am not a fan of wood interiors...they just never caught on with me for some reason. Now if all the wood was made from carbon fiber combined with that color blue...I bet it would be stunning! You could always get someone to photoshop it just to see it. Anyway, enjoy your fine ride!!!!

I have owned my 87 GT with a 2006 GP 3800SC series III for twenty years and almost every morning when I turn the switch I still get the same feeling. And if I don't drive it for a couple of days I go into withdraws. I still can't believe it only a car. Sitting here typing this I'm still thinking, I would like to go down and get in the car and roll down the windows crank up the stero and take off into the morning darkness. So enjoy your addiction.

That's a real nice looking car. Hope that you get to enjoy it for a long time. I wouldn't change too much personally, I think these cars have great curb appeal in their stock form so why change a winning formula!

Yea the cup holder thing is nice, lol.

I wasnt really to thrilled with the wood grain either, so i was thinking about getting the carbon fiber kit from the fiero store....but in blue...does anyone have any pics of the kits from the store in the car.

Thanks for all the compliments on the car!

Your next step is to drop it down 1.5 inches up front and an inch in back. While your in there, do not forget to add poly bushings. Then, before your anticipation to drive is overwhelming, get some 17" tires all around. Gosh, while I'm at it, since the Fiero is a sports car, why not consider a 5 speed swap? Until you experience a 5 speed, your joy of the road is only a hint of what the real 'smile-for-mile' is all about. OK my rant, but it is only my opinion. Nice car

Cordially,
Kevin

I agree. 17s up front and 18s out back. Do all this and you won't be sorry.

Welcome to the addicting world of the Pontiac Fiero. If your like the rest of us, you'll be hooked in no time, if you allready aren't.
I know the feeling, many of us own more than one !
So enjoy your ride, and enjoy this site to.
Many times kind folks on this site have given me advise to help me out. Especially before I tackle a project.
So drive proud and safe.....Bob

Yea, Im already addicted to the car, all i want to do is drive it. It seems like its just you and the road and nothing else between you. Im in complete control and the speed limit signs for corners are a thing of the past.

I just figured out today that the sunroof comes out and that was really cool, but where do i put it.....I heard that it stays under the front hood but where?

And how come im only getting 12mpg....That's a big issue lol, I dont know what could cause it but.

For the sunroof there are these little pad holder things in the front compartment and it sits over the spare tire. Sorry for the bad explanation but I don't have a sunroof I have only seen them.

I'd swap the Swiss cheesy plastic steering wheel cover for a real leather one.



Plenty of other colors to choose from.
