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.

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad

Fri, Jun 24 2022

Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape.  Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
