New to the Forum.
I just got back into a Fiero for the first time since I purchased a new 2M4 in May of 1984....36 years go-WOW!
I've just closed the deal on a one owner 1987 Fiero GT in Medium Red Metallic (77) with 45k miles on her. I've been looking for quite some time for an unmolested '86-'87 GT and I'm thrilled to be getting her shipped to me next week. I'm located in Alabama and fall into the category of the old guy wanting to relive this youth one last time before I get too old and fat to fit in a cool car from my youth.
THANK YOU all for keeping these cars alive, for your knowledge, expertise and wisdom. I've been trolling here for quite some time and I've learned so much and hope to learn more.

So, without further ado...Here she is...(Special thanks to the wife for allowing me to continually indulge my car passion)

Beautiful ride!

Hope the thrill is back when you slide into your new Fiero.

Enjoy it to the max....life's waaay too short to not enjoy every moment you can.

Good buy for you, judging from the pic you posted. Just gorgeous.

HAGO!

fierosound...just clicked on your link. Beautiful car you have there. Can you point me to the Eibach kit your purchased for your car. I'd love to lower mine.

Thanks

There's a mix of old/new information there. Had Eibachs at one time.
I'm running coilovers on the rear now, lowering spindles on front (no longer available).

Eibach springs only lower about 1 inch according to their data.
Hopefully others can chime in with their experiences with Eibach springs.

Now that you're a member here, you may wish to re-evaluate the use of some terms.

troll: to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content.

On the subject of Eibach springs, the first Fiero I owned (bought in '89) was an '86 GT with them that the PO had installed.

Loved the stance.

Hated the ride.

Welcome back to the obsession! That's a beautiful car.

I bought my first Fiero new, in 1985. Traded it in on a Firebird in 1988.
Bought my next Fiero in 1997, and have had at least one, since then.

Welcome and congratulations! That looks just like my 3rd Fiero. Wish I had kept that one. I'm on my 5th now. Post more pictures when she arrives please!

BTW, what's the story with the driver side mirror? Looks tweaked.
