Highly Modified Turbo Charged 1984 Pontiac Fiero on 2040-cars
Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is not a street legal car but could be made into one. The emmissions have been removed, there are lexan side and rear windows. This was intended to be an autocross vehicle but was never setup for a certain autocross category. There are more than $15k of modifications and parts added to the car. Here is a short list of some of the changes and parts on the car. - Over a thousand dollars in AutoMeter Phantom gauges (Fuel level, Volts, Oil pressure, speedo, tach, water temp, oil temp and a boost gauge) - Those gauges are mounted in a carbon fiber/kevar custom made dash - There is a main kill switch - This has a full roll cage - Two bucket seats with 5 point seat belts - The raditor has been lowered several inches - Racing fuel cell has been installed in the front of the car with a tilt switch installed incase of rollover - Used only AN hose and fittings for the oil,brakes,clutch and fuel lines. There is over $1,500 in fittings and hoses in this car - There is an oil cooler with fan - Remote oil filter - Mallory fuel pump - Small Odyssey battery which has been moved to the front of the car for better weight distribution. - There is a Megasquirt engine management system but currently not connected. I am running the car off the stock ECM at this point but is configured to quickly connect the Megasquirt just by connecting several connectors. - There are several custom one off body panels including the front bumper, front hood and rear hood. Both steel doors have been replaced with fiber glass replacements to save weight. The side doors also have lexan windows again to save weight. The rear hood still needs to be fully mounted to the car. When you buy this car you will also be buying the molds that were used to make the custom fiber glass body panels and doors. - There are aluminum rims but the tires need replaced - The outside of the car will need repainted but the inside paint is fine - The engine has been totally redone and doesn't have any miles on it. We used a 3.4L block with aluminum heads. The compression ratio has been changed due to the fact we are running a turbo. It still uses a distributor which has just been replaced and will need a timing light put on it to make sure the timing is spot on. The engine mounts have been replaced with totally solid mounts and same with the engine cradle. We designed the engine and transmission to be pulled out in less than an hour. That mean connectors for the wires and plenty of room to work around the engine/transmission! - The engine is turbo charged with a brand new Garett turbo that has been sized just right for this engine. There is over $2K in the turbo, silicon and aluminum fittings. No intercooler but room to put one! The stock ECM can not handle boost so the MegaSquirt ECM will need to be hooked up or a new ECM chip will need to be installed to handle the boost. You will need to install heat sheilding around the turbo and exhaust to reduce the heat in the engine compartment. Higher flow rate fuel injectors have been installed as well. - K&N air filter - Completely stainless steel exhaust headers and muffler - The transmission is a manual 5 speed and we are also selling this car with a spare 4 speed manual transmission. There is also an aluminum flywheel with a high torque starter. - The entire rear suspension has been modified. There is no longer struts but rather a upper a-arm with adjustable QA1 coilovers. We also removed the bump steer that the stock Fiero is known for. This rear suspension also always a faster and more accurate adjustments compared to the old strut setup. It could use a softer spring rate since there has been so much weight taken out of the car. There has also been a rear sway bar installed. I am sure I am missing a bunch of other changes and items that have been upgraded or installed so if you have any questions just ask. The car does start and run but still needs some more work to call it finished. The reason I am selling the car is because I no longer have a need for it and don't want to see it sitting around while someone else could enjoy it. I am selling the car and the extras as is. The buyer must pickup the car and extras after sale. Only accept CASH in person. |

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
