would subaru rotors & calipers work? i like the way they swing out for easy brake pad replacement(dont have to unbolt the entire caliper from the car)... but itd prolly require some modification and/or replacement of the entire suspension.. eh well.

wonder if the 80's early 90's mustang wing would fit a fastback? Or mabie a MR2 Mk1 super charged spoiler/wing thing. I saw one on the street today (local....POS), and thaught that wing would'nt look to bad on the fiero, and might be more functional (higher angle of attack).
nope, they share nothing except the general shape...but even thats different
the GT door badge off a Grand Am GT look very nice on the front fenders of a GT. So far im the only one to have done this. i dont have any good pics and my digi cam is messing up
OH CONTRARE ! Mine have been my lower trim for 2 years now ! Right below my side scoops!

Speedos, could be pulled from any Pontiac (to keep the same illumination colour) that uses an electronic signal, such as the Sunbird, from '87 to '94, you will have to make sure Sunbirds from '87 to '91 have the electronic speedo, some base models, although rare, use cable driven speedos, GTs use electronic. '87 Sunbirds have 190 Km/h (115 MPH?), while the '88 ('89 for sure) and up GTs use a 200 Km/h speedo (120 MPH).
Here's the information on the 120 speedo swap!

Not sure if its been said already so here it goes anyway.The 5spd isuzu trans from amid to late 80's cutlass calais is a direct swap . You need to install the fiero specific shift cable brackets,clutchfork arm and the actuall shift shaft. The shift shaft is oriented differantly .In the fiero its clocked to the 9 o'clock position and the calais is at 6o'clock(don't remember position to well took it off and chucked it ) . I believe the mid 80's fwd cars also employed the isuzu trans so if you salvage yard doesn't now they are the same then you can ask for one of these instead. my (the one i purchase from) will actually tell you if it a direct swap and what needs to be changed for it to work properly.

Rims from an 89 Beretta. I also have a brand new Shaker Scoop from a Mach1 Mustang. I am trying to decide whether to reverse mount it on the hood for airflow, or on the decklid for engine cooling. Opinions?
The rims...
The scoop...

A under seat subwoofer from a subaru WRX or Outback with thier performance sound system. 6" sub with 80 watt amp built in with adjustable crossover and gain. 6 wire speaker level connection.Or open the case and the line level connectors are inside to make it a four wire install. It fits behind the passenger seat nicely. 50 bucks and you have more lowend(sound that is). Priceless.......

Wow, those are probably the rarest wheels ever offered on the Beretta..... The 15" steel GT wheels and the various 15" and 16" aluminum wheels offered on Berettas all fit also and are much more common.

They were on the 1986-87 Cavalier Z24 and are more common than you might think.

Here are some pictures that are from a car show last summer. I did not take many pictures during the build up of this Fiero. About the only part that you can't see in the picture, is the 85 Mustang hood scoop on the rear deck. Hopefully, when the wheather breaks, this spring, I will get it painted. Sorry it took so long, I am not on the forum much. If you need more info, here is my E-mail - INCATUMI@SBCGLOBAL.NET

Air cleaner lid from a TPI Trans Am (maybe Camaro?) will work for the stock V-6 Fiero air cleaner lid. It's open on top which would pull more air in. There is a a plastic piece on top which will need to be broken off to have it look like this. There is a possibility for water to get in if you drive in rain.

I read this... and I just had to think about it for a second to realize that my cars... fit that title quite well.
My pace car for instance... 93 Grand Am > Quad 4 SOHC > Engine block 92 Grand Am > Quad 4 LO DOHC > head from a LO DOHC, Timing chain system (second generation) 91 Beretta > Quad 4 HO DOHC > intake from a HO DOHC, Cams, Exhaust, Cam housings, fuel pump, computer 97 Firebird > Power steering rack 90 Beretta > Brakes and rotors (bought new) 88 Blazer > Brake Master Cylender (bought new) 89 Cutlass Calais > Quad 4 > motor mounts 96 Grand Prix > 3.4 DOHC > Throttlebody 88 Sunbird > Tachometer, fuel guage, oil pressure guage, temp guage, battery guage 90 Grand Prix > radio 93 Achieva > SCX (W41) Transmission 3.94 FDR Getrag
Alot of cars donated parts into the re making of one
