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.......
got anymore?

It's probably not that much power, but I was under the impression that there was an early model of sunbird that was turbo charged. Maybe i'm wrong but if it's true i'm not sure if it would be even worth it.

Does anyone have a pic of the 84-87 Cutlass part # 95276 Hood strut install to show where and how to locate? Actually Advance Auto Parts says that this part# is discontinued. I had them cross it and nothing came back. Any one know of the new part#. Also is there one for the front hood? Thanks Jesse

A friend and I just pulled one the other day. It's a very small turbo though. We ended up not using it because we got a larger one from a 300Z

I saw v8fiero400's posting in this thread a few months ago and decided to try the Mustang wing. So I went on eBay, found the wing (there are usually a few on eBay), had it shipped and then began the process of sanding and painting the wing. I painted the wing with a rattle-can and it didn't turn out all that great. But the paint on the car is pretty much toast anyway. The wing will do as is untill I can get the entire car re-painted (next spring/summer?).
I finally installed the wing last week and below is a pic of it. It turned out OK is guess. It is NOT a direct bolt on because of some ribs along the underside of the front edge and also the underside of the two "butress'" do not follow the contour of the fiero deck lid. It took some Dremmel work on the bottom front edges to get the wing to sit flat.
Also, the rear (bottom) corners of the wing might hit the rear quarter panels when the trunk is slammed closed (they extend beyond the deck lid) . Mine did this and cracked the right rear corner of the wing. Again, some Dremmel work along the bottom edge of the wing should help this condition.

I found this doing a search and thought it was interesting:
" Tach/Boost gauge came from a Sunbird Turbo or Sylcone (same dash).
You'll need a 2 BAR map and the 4 cyl tach needs a mod. Changing the cap won't work. Cut the traces to pins 3 and 11 of the thinfilm resistor chip and solder a 1M ohm trimmer across C3 on the board. Adjust the trimmer for the correct RPM reading. Adjust it at 3000 RPM or greater to minimize the error.
It takes some trimming on the face and on the right indicator housing to get it to fit. You'll see. Also, add a 194 bulb in the lower area to backlight the bottom of the tach more completely.
With the key on, and engine off, adjust the CT yellow trimmer to 0 boost. Mine was off a bit. The gauge will read -1/+1 BAR (-15/+15)."

What is the cruise light? Do all fieros with cruise control have this? If so...mine must have been blown out for the past 6+ years.

This is for engined swapped cars only, but I installed the entire gauge cluster out of a 1986 Sunbird GT. You have to use the one with the flat clear plastic, I noticed that the later years are curved.
I had to make custom brackets to hold the cluster in the stock Fiero pod and cut some of that brown plastic out of the pod for clearance, and I had a custom SS cluster made up. The tach accepts the turbo sunbird tach, but mine came from a non turbo so it looks like the stock V6 tach, what I like is that the spedometer is in the center of the cluster where the temp and fuel gauge is on the stock gauge, and where the stock Fiero spedo is, it has the temp, fuel, volts and oil pressure gauge. All of the idiot lights are below the spedometer, in the center. The cluster is also backlit like the V6 gauges, and is red.
The reason you cant use it on a stock Fiero engine, is because it only has 1 wire for a spedometer, which comes from the ECM.
I should post a pic soon.

Sorry to hear your troubles. The mustang wing is a very stiff and unflexable fiberglass, and to make matters worse......Those damn Ford engineers made it to fit a mustang.....the nerve!!!... I modified and test fitted the wing about ten times before I got it to fit right. My arm was real sore at the end of that day because I used a hand file to grind it!
But worth it!!!
