ha!!! this is where it gets weird....
it seems in the last days that the 3800 was in the OG car I got, "Black Dynamite"


it started smoking a bit and was advised my multiple opinions to not worry sooo much. well, in comes a fire hydrant and a Monsoon down pour. wack!! BD sits and I wait.....the winter. fast forward to Spring 2014, break out BlackDynamite to fix and forget....and its smoking real bad and have structural issues....and a repair bill attached just to align the ft hood alone in the high 100's maybe 1000's.

then we find the Mera has a smoked 2.8L. sooooooo I plan a 3.4L as a replacement and with trans it gets close to $4,000.
My wheels start turning and I had threatened to get a junk 3800 swapped car and put it in Mera X, so I did well that smoke turned out to be more than "nothing." I has hammering on it pretty hard and thought I broke it. it was humming and low on power. DAMN!!

well I have been driving it around town short, short 5-10 mile runs and with letting it cool down in between for hours and it seems good, but any long distance, 20 miles or more are skechy and now my Mera is like a real 308 which owners cant drive either...

mind you I worked many many hours last year and got all money'd up, so I was able to fix Mera X and with the money I saved on the BD to Mera X swap I bought this
now I only need a 3800 turbo Aldino and I am set \m/ \m/

The supercharger whine coupled with total acceleration left its mark!!

Yea nice lunch

That's the way to represent these old cars.Good job! Very nice car buy the way.

Hello All:
I just purchased my first Mera yesterday and wanted to check out this forum to see if anyone could verify my car's story/history. The car is titled a 1986 Pontiac and after verifying the vin, it shows it was produced in 1986 as a Fiero with a 2.8 V6 with 4 speed manual. The previous owner provided me with some documentation that shows the car was first owned by Robert Bracey and I have a letter from Robert stating he sold the 1986 Mera Concept number 6001 to one of the previous owners of my vehicle. I am unable to find the Mera serial number on the vehicle though. The letter is signed by Robert. Has anyone ever claimed they have the first Mera Concept? Does anyone know any information about the first Mera Concept? Mine is silver, with a 4 speed manual. I'm just hoping to get some more documentation and verification of the car. Any information you may have would be EXTREMELY appreciated.


Thanks from a new excited Mera owner,
Chris

EDIT:
After searching this forum, I found pictures posted here of my car at Autorama in Detroit. That is the car I purchased.

Sounds like you not only bought YOUR first Mera, but possibly THE first Mera.. .

I don't even own a Mera, but I'm sure all the other guys here that do will be along shortly to welcome you and hit you with a bunch of questions about the car and ask for pictures...(got any pictures? ).

Welcome to the forum and I for one DO look forward to seeing/hearing more from you and about your "new" car.

HAGO!

I was aware that the prototype Mera was for sale and have contact and price info for the owner. I thought about buying the vehicle but did not really see a need for another Mera at this time.

Welcome to the Mera club. You will find some people here who are very knowledgable and can answer most of your questions.

Nelson

well......there goes that plan. kudos for a great buy!!

I got some info......but nothing that aint posted here in this thread.
I think I got a picture of the VIN and have talked to the guy you should have bought from.
oh and a crap ton of pictures!!!! OHHHHH Yeah! where you live, again??

I gotta go dig up me photos fun fun!!
heres a classic!!

Thanks! I'm so excited to have been able to buy it. I bought it from Alan and have been excited ever since. I live in the northern metro Detroit area. I will try to take some photos this weekend and post them when I can.

Welcome from another newer Mera owner, I've only had mine for about 2 years. It's a really small group, probably less than 200 of them left in the US.

Have any Mera is good but having the first is really great, congratulations.

Welcome aboard!

Yours is the only silver Mera I have ever seen. I really like it. Most Mera's are red, including my 88 (go figure). I am actually considering changing the color on mine.

Everyone at my work calls me "Magnum".

How 'bout black? Doesn't Nelson have a black one. Saw a black Testa Rosa the other day--very cool. Daytonas also look best in black.

I have the rear wing on in my concept drawings, but I was unsure how it would really look. I'm sold. That looks great.

How much more effort is there to lift the hatch?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE3a1hb3FOA

somewhere here on the PFF I made a loose challenge toward Tanner to get his producers the run Exotics against the faster Fieros
around. but was Poo poo'd by the Fiero owners here in the PFF so I gave up

guys like FieroX were down for some GetYouSum, too!!
*EDIT*

found it again!! even got The DarkHorizon to bite!!!



Also, Miss Rex since your last transmission. we have another SE Mera in the Ranks!!

[This message has been edited by batousai666 (edited 08-11-2014).]

Would you get that wing off of that MERA?!?!?

lets see.......AutoRama Mera!
part 1
https://mysp.ac/OxWJ

Mr. Dan, Wow, the 1986 prototype.. very, very cool! Is that the one in the Autorama 2010 video too? That silver Mera has the SE rear light mix (turns with the brake)..
I am wondering, does the '86 Prototype have 16 inch wheels since the 15" 1988 wheels hadn't been made yet, right?
cheers, Miss Rex

yes it is!!! the very same one. soo cool, I have touched the Prototype and hope to again.....soon!
when I saw the tail lights in the vid I was soooo happy....helped me claim Mera X as a Mera in the end.

as to the wheels.....how'd that story go again?? something about clay mock Cromodora 15"(?) then fitted with a set of '88 production wheels after the fact. I will have to dig that PM/info up.... and will do, gladly I love playing detective



these two have more in common with each other than any other Mera besides you's and #7029. CHEERS!!
