REPLICA KIT CAR. BUILT ON A MODIFIED 1986 FIERO CHASSIE. THE CHASSIE WAS

POWERED BY A GM 2.8 FUEL INJECTED V-6, WITH 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION. ENGINE WAS REPLACED BY THE PERVIOUS OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHICH
STATED AND SUPPLIED ME WITH A INVOICE FROM THE SALVAGE YARD THAT THE MOTOR HAD
63XXX MILES ON IT. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE LAST OWNER THE CAR
WOULD NOT RUN CORRECTLY AS SOME MECHANIC OR AT LEAST HE CLAIMED TO BE A MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE VACCUME LINES,
THE INTAKE GASKET LEAKING, AND THE BROKEN EGR PIPE . I BOUGHT IT
WITH INTENTION OF RESTOREING IT COMPLETLY AND DRIVING IT. INSTEAD I GOT IT
RUNNING AND DRIVING AND FIGURED OUT I CANT FIT IN THE CAR THAT WELL. AS FOR THE REST OF THE CAR THE INTERIOR IS
IN DECENT SHAPE BESIDES THE HEADLINER. IT DOES HAVE AFTERMARKET RACING BUCKET
SEATS. ALL INTERIOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. PRESSENTLY THE
A/C IS NOT WORKING. THE BELT WAS MISSING OFF THE COMPRESSOR WHEN I PURCHASED
THE VEHICLE AND I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO PUCHASING THE BELT AND INSTALLING
IT. THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR IS ALL THERE, AND THERE IS NO CRACKS IN THE
FIBERGLASS BODY. IT APPEARS IT WAS PAINTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BY THE PERVIOUS OWNER WHO
LEFT IT OUT SIDE UNCOVERED SO IT IS KIND OF SUN FADED AND PEELING HAS BEGAN TO
START ON THE ROOF BEHIND THE SUN ROOF. THERE IS ALSO SOME PEELING OF PAINT ON
THE LOWER ROCKER PANEL CLOSE TO THE FRONT DRIVERS FENDER, BUT NO ROT ( THE BEAUTY OF FIBERGLASS). ALSO THERE

THE CAR ARE LIKE NEW CONDITION; THE FRONTS HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD BUT ARE DRY
CRAKING ON THE SIDEWALLS. SO HERES WHAT IT NEEDS: HEAD LIGHT MOTOR NEED TO BE
REPLACED. I HAVE (2) GOOD USED ONES THAT GO WITH THE CAR. INTAKE TUBE FROM THE
THROTTLE BODY IS SOME HOME MADE CRAP FROM THE OLD OWNER ID REPLACE IT. A (AFTER
MARKET INTAKE TUBE AND FILTER WOULD DO JUST FINE AND ARE CHEAP $30 DOLLARS OR
SO). THE IAT CONTROL SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE INTAKE. A SET OF VITALONI BABY TURBO SIDE MIRROR. THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR ON CAR

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2M4
Sun, Oct 8 2023The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing for two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known as 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

This massive 'Knight Rider' KITT model costs over $1,400
Tue, May 18 2021A new model of the famed Pontiac Firebird from the 1980s TV show Knight Rider is here, and it's massive. The shadowy flight into the dangerous world of this subscription-based kit by DeAgostini will result in a car that measures nearly two feet long, cost more than $1,400, and take you over two years to complete. For years, subscription-based model kits have been a tradition for hobbyists in Europe and Asia. Should you sign on, each week you'll receive a package in the mail that includes a few parts for the model and some literature on the subject. Usually there are additional collectibles and accessories, like a display case. The DeAgostini KITT kit, for example, begins with the hood for the first issue. The asymmetric bulged and scooped body panel comes with a several smaller body pieces and a small screwdriver. Issue two comes with the front fascia, KITT's red scanner light, and three of the six driving lights. Issue three gives you a tire, wheel and brake components for one of the four corners. And so it goes. When all is said and done, you'll receive 110 such packages over a span of so many weeks. In other words it'll take two years and one-and-a-half months to complete the black, 1:8 scale Pontiac. There are some discounted prices for the first few issues to get you hooked, but once you get settled in the regular price for each issue is ˆ10.99 ($13.36 USD). Here's a preview the 16-page pamphlet that accompanies the first issue. By the end, you should have a pretty comprehensive compendium of the Knight Rider series as well. The issues are available on newsstands, but subscribers get additional gifts — two 1:43 scale models, one of KITT and one of his nemesis KARR. And for an additional ˆ1.00 per issue, you'll receive an acrylic display case. As for the Knight Industries Two Thousand itself, the car appears to be incredibly detailed. As depicted on the DeAgostini website, the hood, doors, trunk and T-top roof panels all open. The red scanner lights up, the rear license plate rotates for three options, and there even seems to be a watch that commands the model to speak some of KITT's catch phrases. Knight Rider — or Supercar as it was called in Italy — told the episodic story of a former police officer, Michael Knight, who fought crime with his A.I.-powered car. As such, the TV car and the the model have a heavily computerized (by 1980s standards) dashboard and yoke steering wheel.
