Tony--If you find any, send some my way. I'd like to try out PS with my new monitor and that's a great looking car.

You know, I have only seen one other Fiero with an air intake like that. But the one I saw had it scooped on the drivers side instead of the center. I like it. Seems logical enough to me. But,...how does he keep water from getting into the intake with a downward slant like that?

That scoop doesn't go to the air intake. The car has a turbo, so it has all that other extra plumbing. where it mounts to the trunk, however, are a few small holes he made that helps aid cooling.

I have a few pics I could scan at like 2400 if you'd like. Dunno how much of a dif. it would make, its still comin from a photo..

Well, for those that don't know the history on this car, this is what I know.

The car belongs to Fran Passuite (sp?)
It was originally an '84 Indy.
The fastback/Aero kit was added in '86 or '87
He replaced the 2.5L 4cyl with a 2.8L (2.9?) V6
He had a Miller-Woods turbo installed on the 2.8 V6
The wheels are custom built (Compomotive I believe) in Great Britian.
He recently added the lambo-style mirrors as well.

I saw the car back in the 90's at a few FOCOA nationals- Fran is a cool guy, and really loves his ride!

Looking for Fiero posters?

thatcar seems to have too much stuff stuck to it, like the deck scoop AND spoiler, would look great w/ out spoiler, and maybe that front one too, (or if it was smoothed in?)

Did this car have a "stock" Indy interior or was it custom? I understand the car was an Indy but did the owner modify the interior with add-on gauges or a custom wheel. Different things like that.

For those interested in the full story on Fran's car, read about it (and see some B&W photos) in the POCI article: http://www.poci.org/feature_articles/archive/10_01/10_01feature.htm

Actually Fran's car was not in fact an Indy Fiero. It was an 84 4 cyl coupe. Also, the fastback clip on that car was not designed by Pontiac...it was actually designed by Fran. Some say he is the inventor of our fastback clips!

Also, in the Nationals pics...the silver 88 GT you see in the second pic? That's my car

Actually I disagree to that comment. Not because I know better but because this is listed on the webpage from the above link.

Added entire rear (ordered new in '86): Sail panels, rear deck, tail lights (blacked out "Pontiac" and placed "Indy Fiero" logo in its place); wiring had to be modified
