As life changes so do the cars we drive ! I had a great time with both my Fieros, and have met many new friends over the years at shows and events all over the place, i know this car is absoultly perfect now, I will not be posting in the mall or any other outlets i personaly would like to see this car remain in Canada and also to someone who has actualy seen the car in person I am not going to even put a price here but i am not just letting it go, do your home work on this ! With most shops doing these 3800 swaps being so busy, and with summer here early this year, this car is ready to go !!!
PLEASE !!!! dont make this a hate on thread or a insult to me about what you might think this car is worth, I know it may take a long time to find a buyer for this car but this car compares to SKITIMES car and his sold for good money ( do your home work i am looking to get close to the same price as Skitimes)
I am just putting it out there for some lucky guy or girl to own a prestine car ,well documented build, magazine, and trophy car, this car is a real head turner and would trust it to drive anywhere, there are just under 800 miles on the fully tuned build and 51,000miles on the compleatly rust free E tested legal 88 Fiero
Hate to see you sell it after all of that work! Someone will be getting a nice car. Good luck with the sale Duane. I'll see you around the Corvette shows
I finaly got around to removeing the fiero store axle seal bearings as they are garbage !!! Had noting but leaks from them and have heard lots of guys with the same issue, These are a big pain in the ass to remove unlike stock transmision axle seals, This took almost all day to do and replaced them with stock ones and guess what no more leaks !! Anyone looking into the axle seal bearings i would say dont do it they will leak very soon after they are installed Also changed out the DOT3 fluid to DOT4 in my slave and master
Took the car out today for a good run, turning heads as i blow past people on the HWY make me LOL car realy drives super smooth it is tune to go WOT or close to it but i enjoy driving it so people can see it, too be honest i think it gets more looks than my Vette, Rulookin will be comming home next week i have been renting space at a shop for a year now and May is my last month

I guarantee you will get more looks with the fiero. No offense, but there is a vette on every corner. Almost as common as civics anymore.
You don't see a fiero very often, and many people don't even know what they are.

So true. I pulled into a gas station and two guys were intrigued by my car. When I told them it was a Fiero they acutally said "who makes that Lotus or Ferrari?".

Sorry to hear you're selling one of my favorite Fieros! If I had the cash I'd take it home tomorrow. Good luck with the sale!
What did you decide to do for wheels? I heard a rumour you had something on the way. I'm still looking for a staggered setup for my car - wondering what you settled on.
Thanks! Rich

HELLO Everyone !! I am still enjoying my car no issues other than the QTP Cut out has crapped out easy fix !!! car runs so well its a bit heavy on the gas but i guess its to be expected with all the mods ? BY the way I may be modding in the winter i am trying to find a MP112 blower set up I missed out on one a while back with intercooler Ls1 TB and LIM to match so i have put the word out on club gp looking for another one they are very rare i only know one other fireo with this blower on it ( PURPLREGIN) very nice set up !
sorry turbo guys i like the sound of a SC way better than a turbo BOV !!!
Well boys RULOOKIN was SOLD and delivered today the new oner is very happy with the car i am happy i got my asking price 15,000 car was sold as is ! so i droped 500 off the price, TRhe car is still in Canada and not to far from me its in a heated garge and will not be driven new owner wants to keep it locked up under a cover I am sure he will take it out once and a while, so I am not yet feeling FIERO withdrawl, I honestly was more worried about something happening to the car in my underground now the car is in a safe garage, I know the new owner very well he and his wife know they bought a very nice machine we were back and forth with price for the last few weeks but i took the as is $15,000 and can look forward to next summer tradeing my 05 Corvette in on a 09 Z06 Corvette I cant wait !!
I know it has not all set in yet that my car is actualy gone but i can sleep much better tonight with no worries about damage to my car I will still be on and off here loking and chimeing in once and a while
I owned Fieros for over 20 years and had fun building my latest one,meeting many new friends over the years,
I hand delivered the car today and snapped this photo in the garage before i left .........
