Hi everyone, it has been forever it seems since I have last posted, and I am here now to seek information. http://knoxville.craigslist.../cto/4523035684.html Is the link to the for sale ad of the vehicle. From what I can tell and gather from the information provided, it is a great, low miles (75k) car that for sure needs a total repaint (I always liked yellow) and a flywheel. My biggest question is, how easy is it to change out a flywheel? Is this something I can tackle at home (with nothing more than the simple tool kit I have) or would this be a money pit that a mechanic would make me sink hundreds into?

I've never owned a car, I'm looking to the Fiero as a unique first car (this one being somewhat of a project, as there are things I'd wish to customize) I've never done much automotive work, and not touched a clutch or anything to do with a transmission.
Having never worked on a car. I would recommend that you find someone to guide you through this in depth job. It is not a job for someone with no experience to tackle alone. Also you will need jack, jack stands, and a good tool box.

The BIG downside is that it is very hard to locate an 87 fly wheel. If you are lucky you may be able to resurface the old fly wheel. An 88 fly wheel will not work in a stock 87 2.8 L Fiero engine.

OK - I am confused now...
But as the other guys have said - NOT the easiest job for anyone, nevermind a newbie. You'll need someone to give you a hand.
Since there has been some confusion, let me clarify some things. FM4 is Forza Motorsports 4, I still do not own a real vehicle. >.< Also, an 87 flywheel shouldn't be too hard for me to find, I am located a mere 20 miles from TFF so parts should not be.an issue for me, ever.
Wow! That's a lot more labor intensive than I'd like for a first vehicle. perhaps I should keep looking. Though I'd like to thank everyone for it help, without you I'll end up with a money pit.
