Who has autocrossed a stock Fiero and what did you think of it? I'm looking at a stock 1985 GT with the 2.8 engine and 4 speed. I believe it would run in SPC....
Don, Yes, the Fiero runs in ES. It is not quite fast enough to win a national championship with it, but when in good shape, it is certainly good enough to run...
... The Fiero was designed out of the GM parts book in order to save costs. As I recall, the original front suspension was from the Chevette and the rear...
Well, Bob is raising a valid point. I have witnessed the effects of three termal incidents that involved Fieros myself. With the total burning or burnt out...
My understanding about the fire issue is that small oil leaks from the valve covers tended to accumulate around a wiring harness between the vc and the header....
I was told that the fires were pretty much only an 84 problem from a bad batch of connecting rods that would go out through the side of the block on the 2.5 ...
Also to answer Don's question....I don't really know anything about the fire problem or the cause, other than the fact that I saw three Fieros experiencing ...
For those of you into ALMS or Speed World Challenge, here are some pics I got up at RA. http://www.jwwwebdesign.smugmug.com/Racing/222298 << ALMS - practice, ...

You guys should both go up for the race! Who saw denver? That was an incredible race! So much passing and the finish...well the finish was exciting as well....

The Audi R10 had a 1:49.181 in quals which was a record at RA for LMP1. Champ Cars make it around there quicker, but it would be interesting to see what an F1...
... Scary. It wouldn't surprise me if an F1 would hit 200 MPH more than once going around Road America. Which is why seeing an F1 race there is not likely....
Champ cars used to hit 200 mph 3 times at RA, then the officials found out and of course something was done.... Now, i will say that if this new car turns out...
... Which explains why Road America has been turned into a canyon of concrete and chain link fence. My first trip to Road America was in 1979 for the June ...
I was more referring to always implementing restrictions on Aero or Engine power being the change. There were quite a few smaller animals the next day after...
... In my opinion, which is worth little, no. Road America certainly has its challenges, but I think Mid Ohio is a better test of car set up and driver skill....
Thanks! Glad you like them. We had a blast and the weather was awesome. Unfortunatly we ended up in Fond du Lac... I waited way too long before making...

Thanks, Bob and Warren. This car has 60,000 miles with three owners, but the last two were father and son. They've had it for all but the first two years. So ...
Thanks, Clemens! I really needed to rebuild the Fiat from end-to-end, a project beyond my budget. Consequently it was spending most of it's time in the garage....
