During my 25th visit I saw a few unique tweaks that caught my eye. Mirrors, cameras, repositioned gas caps, A-piller were a few items I thought were unique and for possible Fiero applications.

The gas neck extension was on a Mera. Never mind the stick


A Fiero like mirror, but mounted on brushed aluminum base?


This mod has been performed before, I like it.


inside screens; I never thought about having the screens on the door.

Mirror idea continued;






This idea appears to be a simple solution to the stock Fiero mirror locations. I didn't try to touch the car to see if the mirror folded, but on a non wide body Fiero I don't see the need to anyway.

Curly this is a great thread! Keep it up!

Continued; Nice A-piller; all in one piece.

I'm going to need your help on this one; I didn't take a pic on how to properly install the deflector in the rack, hehe.

All the red items in the convertible were painted. I have a pic somewhere of the paint flaking off the seatbelt latch.

This is a good thread. I have a few new ideas from the concept cars. The screen in the door is cool.

I don't know how I over looked it, but the third brake is there on the concept conv. Fiero.


I wonder how the wiring was hooked-up and exited from the bottom.

I got a chance to raise my finger at GM during the 25th and I found it very interesting.

Yes. Crude instrument used, but I now have an idea of how long the part is. The add-on appears to be plastic, but I'm not sure.

Appears to be bit taller in the rear vs the front.



A slight inner angle on the turn signal opening.

Odessey batteries are very small, light, relatively inexpensive and powerful. They are great for track cars. Their big drawback is that completely draining them damages the battery. So if a dome light is left on over night, the next morning you need to buy a new battery.

This unique picture is worth $$$ in the future. Can you imagine the stories told at the 30th.

I forgot to take a picture of them. Can you please do so...

While I'm on the subject of headlamps, I took careful notice of the concept Fiero's multi-headlamps, recessed, and angled.

Cool effect on Fierochic car

I found this pic interesting. I never had the chance review the details on the race car, but I notice the gas neck up front.

Also GM used a single wiper system (it makes sense), that the battery is located up front, and notice the sway bar.

RRunner's: different swaybar (upgrade I'm guessing?)


No stock gas cap on rear bumper; I never noticed this until now.


The window clips are different compared to RRunner's race car?

I spy an Opel GT on the right!!!!!

This little guy was funny as he kept jumping back on to me. At one point he jumped onto John Callies to get back to me. This went on for about a hour and I finally walked him into the trees so he would stop it. I was afraid I would smash him by accident sitting in my chair as I didnt know a few times it had jumped back on me. Rick B

They must have had an overstock of blue paint

RRunner's sway bars were developed form the racing style sway bar, which is adjustable, and repairable.

Dual vents, now seen in reverse on a few Fiero.


I guess the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree, hehe.

#011; backward venting.

Wider A-pillar.

I liked also the race Fiero with the V8 cut in half. It used even a V8 distributor but only four wires plus the coil wire... Did you guys notice it?

Must have a Pontiac Tempest engine from the 60's. They made one that was half of a 326. Performance model even had a 4 barrel and required premium gas. Believe it put out 166 bhp. Not bad performer but it was rough running.

Actually I suspect it was a SESCO sprint car engine from the late 60s to early 70s. it was a VERY successfull engine developed to compeat with the Offy, and made by cutting off the right bank of a 327 Chev engine. custom crank, etc. that engine kicked Offys butt for several years. they made a v-4 from a SBC also as I recall. darned if I can find a picture of one, but here's a mention I found in a quick google search.

I likey that front lip, anyone make one like that?

Someone's got some 'espaining to do'?

Where is the master brake booster? Or is it not needed?
