I'm selling my 88 pontiac fiero formula. 
This car is a one of a kind. It has a 3.4 swapped into it (by the previous owner mileage unknown), it has been converted to a fastback, The interior was redone in black and has black leatherette custom upholstered seat covers.
Starting from front to back. 
The headlight motors have been rebuilt, two front ball joints have been replaced,
 it has lowering springs and new shocks along with new poly bushings, the wheels are 18X8 in the front and 18X9 in the rear(235's on front and 265's on rear), the car has been repainted and all molding is there and held on with clips from the fiero store 

the interior was redone in black and power locks and windows were installed(this is one of the only formulas in the world with power locks and windows), the seats were recovered along with the headliner

The clutch slave cylinder was rebuilt with rodney dickens kit, the shifter cables were replaced with rodney dickens cables(top of the line), the banjo bolt was replaced with rodney's adjustable banjo.

The rear rotors and pads were put on this year and the front are from a c4 corvette I believe(installed by previous owner),Custom height adjustable coil overs were built for the rear and the bushings were replaced with poly. I also have camber adjustment bolts not installed if you want me to throw those in

It has a refurb edu from the fierostore, I had the AC fixed this summer but the compressor went bad(from NAPA) its still under warranty and they will pay to have it replaced if you send it in based on what customer service told me. Heat works great and all the gauges (minus the tach) are completely functional and accurate(even the fuel gauge)

The 3rd gear syncro is bad but it still shifts into third just resists some at higher rpm's, the radiator fan relay is out but those can be had at an auto parts store cheap and the fan will run if you have the a/c switched on.

I am selling this car because I decided to go back to school and don't have the time or money I need to do everything I dreamed of doing to it.
My commute is 150 miles a day and this is what I've been commuting with so I have no doubts about its reliability and you would be more than able to drive it back home(I drove it to Louisiana and back about 3 weeks ago which is a 1200 mile round trip. If you have any questions feel free to ask I will try to post more pictures soon.(of the interior and such)

I also have new formula door stickers and quarter windows that will go with the car

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect

Tue, Apr 1 2014

General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.
