This is literally the last '88 bar Darrell had in stock when I bought it. I know these go for hundreds on ebay, but I'm pricing to sell. It's used, and has a few chips, but is in overall great condition.

sorry..,maybe this is a dumb question

Other than looking kind of cool, do these do anything noticeable for performance?

It reduced the strut tower flex during hard cornering.

No, it's a show piece, a very hard to find show piece.

see that wall that goes to the trunk? it eliminates the need for a strut tower brace like on alot of other cars.

Sold.

Not to mention that strut brace has a bend on either end; which GREATLY reduces its rigidity...

But it looks cool...

but gota admit, for some reason, they do look kinda nifty!

I could care less if it works on fieros guys, I was just posting the actual use for them on some vehicles.

Your explanation was perfectly sound. The Fiero is somewhat of an odd duck when it comes to strut tower geometry, most cars benefit from having the added rigidity. But in this case, the bar is simply for looks.

I've always passed on them when for sale, I didn't want to let this one go, yea its for looks. I know it doesn't do much.

It wins trophies.

so what i gather is theres not much of if ant improvement by adding one of these? Id be all over it for my formula but the previous owner welded a chrome-molly bar in between the strut towers.

Ahh I remember that, you've got a nifty looking X brace going on. I was thinking hard about buying that formula, if only it were a 5 speed I woulda snatched it

Edit to say- Theres no improvement on a Fiero that has that forward trunk wall in between the strut towers. Yours doesn't but you do have that brace- so unless you feel that its flexing, it'd be just for show.

It might be going back up for sale in the comming months... its a 4 speed but its got a brand new stage 3 clutch and its much smoother and not as stiff as the spec that was in it.. it feels more of a street clutch not as much on off action as the last 1

Back on topic though... lol

Whats your problem? Yes I did read it, and even if I hadn't what I posted is correct- so chill

So, potato, potato.

Does anyone else feel the need to state the thrice previously discussed and obvious truth...?

I understand I was stating the obvious but I was just confirming that for PK since he was checking.

So, aside from looking really pretty, does this actually do anything?

It will make me happy, so lets just end this thread.

Thanks.
