1987 White Pontiac Fiero Gt 3.4l on 2040-cars
Pine Beach, New Jersey, United States
|
This car was a project of mine for a while, but times have changed and I need to find it a good home. I have replaced\rebuilt many things on this car. In the front, the headlight motors have been rebuilt and the radiator has been replaced. In the rear, just about everything in the engine compartment is either new or rebuilt. A professionally rebuilt 3.4L V6 (from a 1995 Camaro) was professionally installed. This included new or rebuilt alternator, starter, AC compressor, water pump and fuel injectors. The Transmission was also professionally rebuilt complete with new detent cable from Rodney Dickman. Other 3.4 Conversion parts, like the oil filter adapter and idler pulley were also purchased new from Rodney Dickman. (For those new to the Fiero, Rodney Dickman is a well known supplier of quality Fiero conversion parts. The battery is also new. The "Fiero" branded intake plenum and valve covers have been re-powder coated red in order to preserve the original look of the engine. There have been many other small upgrades, such as upgrading the vacuum lines to stainless steel. Inside, the seats show less than expected wear and tear. The plastic areas of the dashboard have some signs of warping, but little to no cracking. I have installed an after-market Sony media center stereo with an iPod dock, Bluetooth phone\mp3 connection, and Sirius Satellite radio. There is no cassette or CD player, as there is a tray to store your iPod\phone. The interior door panels and passenger-side dashboard trim are in great shape.
Outside, there is some paint chipping around the sunroof, but there are no leaks. For those not familiar with the Fiero, it may look like rust, but it is just paint chipped away over the fiberglass. The looks like it was in a minor accident in the passenger-side rear bumper. This occurred before I purchased it in 2008. The rear fascia has the most damage, with some very slight cracking in the passenger-side rear tail-light cover. The reflector that is missing from the rear bumper is included with the car. The AC system is intact and functioning , but it is not charged and has not been converted from R-12. The tires\wheels are in great shape. The rear calipers have been replaced. The front calipers have some issues and need to be replaced. All in all, this is a fun car to drive. The bigger 3.4L engine gives this car some real spunk compared to the stock 2.8L. Buyer must arrange for local pickup and\or transportation

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
