Fiero custom interior
I have been looking at the parts I’ve acquired over the last year and a half, and I’m trying to think of the best way to approach the interior of the Fiero. The dash and the door panels will definitely be the hardest. But the…
Fiero reverse light modification
Since I’m installing the 4″ LED tail light conversion on the Fiero, I will be losing the reverse lights. By law I am required to have them, so there is a small modification that you can do to get the reverse lights back: mount the…
Fiero Fastback conversion
I have moved the rear fastback clip onto a bench in my basement, and I’m beginning to remove the quarter panel windows. Using a heat gun re-activates the double-side tape so removal is easier. However, from the picture below, they still like to crack when…
New Fiero GT LED tail lights
These should be arriving within the next week or so. They have four 4″ LED (10 LEDs in each lens) lights with a fiberglass shell that replaces the entire GT tail light section. These will fit in nicely with the fastback conversion I am doing…
Fiero side scoops
The Fiero side scoops I ordered came in today, and OH MAN! …are they EVER awesome. They are thick fiberglass, and a direct bolt in. I just have to drill the holes for the screws, and perform the cut-out for the scoop intake. I’m impressed…
Taking off some Fiero parts
I took some Fiero parts off today to sell on eBay. The Holley scoop and the sail panels are going up for sale. This is all part of the fastback conversion that I am doing in the next few months. In one of the picture…
Looking for a Fiero fastback part
I’m looking for the side pieces that turn the standard Fiero trunk into the fastback square trunk. I’ve got both sides, but they aren’t in the best of shape. Plus I’m missing one of the plastic clamps.
GT quarter window scoops
I went and picked up a set of fiberglass scoops – they will replace the cracked GT glass windows. These provide better air-flow to the rear engine. Plus they look cool :)
Fastback conversion parts
Well, I went and got the parts today. Had to go to Bolton, Ontario to pick them up. Everything looks great, with exception to the glass quarter panels. They are cracked and look quite rough. I might be putting GT turbo scoops on there to…
Fiero notchback to fastback conversion?
I have been thinking about doing this conversion for over 5 years now. I have a 1986 Fiero SE notchback. I like the notchbacks, don’t get me wrong. But the fastbacks look more like a Ferrari in my opinion. More sporty. I think it would…
Mr. Mikes leather seats
Just got these today. Crazy-ass quality. They will look pristine in the Fiero. Below is a sample image that I photoshop’ed up quickly. It isn’t my Fiero, …but you get the idea from the pic:
Fiero accessories from Rodney Dickman
I just got my order in from Rodney Dickman, and all I can say is WOW. The build quality on his accessories is top-notch to say the least. The leather boot for the shifter is “thick” leather, …not that cheap stuff. The mirror bras and…
ALDL data of the Fiero during normal driving
I just took it out for a spin, …to monitor the RPMs during idle and normal driving conditions. Everything seemed like it was normal – especially after the vacuum leak fix. Click below to download the ALDL data from the Fiero: 20070806_fiero_ALDL_drive.zip.
OMFG! The idle problem has been solved!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …IT IS SOLVED! Oh my F#$KING GOD! Finally! Only took 1.5 years of poking and prodding. I’ve got tears-of-joy rolling down my eyes. Ok, here is what I did: That spare TB I had from my parts car tear down got a nice sandblasting…
Again, more troubleshooting
I did some more troubleshooting of the vacuum system, and I removed the throttle body from the intake plenum. I’ll do further testing once I hear from some of the members on Pennock’s Fiero Forum. Here are some pics:
More Fiero vacuum investigation
…this time it is the throttle body. I’ve just been using my blog to post pictures to Pennock’s Fiero Forum (PFF). Have a look if you want. I’m just focusing on the throttle body, and to show that the idle screw hasn’t been tampered with.
Another Fiero vacuum leak test
Tested it again by plugging the IAC port and the front valve cover port, …and it won’t stall. Stutters around 500-600 rpm. I have a vacuum leak somewhere – must be under the plenum. F#$K!!!!!!!!!!
Fiero vacuum leak test
I did a vacuum leak test on the Fiero. This was achieved by starting it up, and holding your finger over the IAC port. The Fiero’s idle went down where it should be (950-1100 rpm) when I held my finger over the port. What does…
New Fiero valve cover air breather
Since Hi-tech DID NOT, I REPEAT, DID NOT put an air breather on one of my valve cover ports, I had to get one. My engine has been breathing in unfiltered air since the install, ….which is not good AT ALL. F@#KING BULLSH#T, because this…
Fiero 3.4L high idle – more testing and inspection
I was inspecting the Fiero even more, and came across this on the side of the V6 that faces the firewall. Is this the problem? We will see. I won’t keep my hopes up.
1986 Pontiac Fiero SE Notchback
Been a long time since I just took the camera, and shot a few pics of the Fiero. So I threw caution into the wind and snapped a few. Enjoy!
Fiero stuff for sale
Still have a lot of Fiero stuff for sale. Contact me about any of the following…
Yet another idling test with winALDL
Here is another test with winALDL. I had the Fiero running for about 7 minutes in the driveway. Click here to download the zipped “txt” log file.
