SOLD!!!

I purchased this machine from AkursedX Fall of 2011, Who built it with the aid of Darth Fiero . The odometer now reads 128094 miles.

The car sits nicely in my garage, and rips up the street at the turn of the key... so this is not a "fire sale" Pun intended. And if your offer is silly you will not get a reply.

asking $10 500 CDN,

Video here is 1 week ago

https://www.youtube.com/wat...6S0sBqB-v1gFK0rdxOdQ

Here is how I purchased it:

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/055206.html

Since then I have:

Replaced the turbo with a custom build hybrid turbo by Herman of http://www.cherryturbos.com/Hybrids.html
Front tires are 215 45 17 BFG with matching back 245 40 17 BFG www.bfgoodrichtires.ca/tire...-comp-2/tire-details
Removed the interior and dyed it black along with installing Sunfire GT seats.
Repositioned gages to A pillar.
Aftermarket radio comes with the car but now has a simple GM radio installed.
Installed very large free flowing GM OE converter to pass a real ligit tailpipe emissions. Small portion of lower trunk removed.
Added additional venting in back above turbo, added a wing and ran an easy 10 second 1/4 mile pass. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF7JwavKjFk

This car will haul and it will also idle all day long with the windows up and the a/c on. Cruise control on will get you across the country as well.

Tan to BLACK and a WING were first things on my to do list, even before refilling the gas tank for the first time.

Is approx $9500.00 at this time.

I ran 3 shake down 1/8th mile runs with a passenger to monitor kr and bring up the boost. My 4th run was a full pass with just off idle launch and ran 11.2. 5th run was Zero boost launch and 17.5 psi and ran a 10.98. Within a 2hr period. Have not done a run since, was complete street trim, did not even lower tire pressures. Was told runs out of injectors at 22 lbs but I was happy with my "10 second fiero" What will the car run at 22 psi...Guess away!

Just not using it. My week days are a 2 mile commute that takes 20 min and weekends I put more miles on a pick up truck. So the fiero sits in the garage.

Does anyone know what re-importing a car (originally imported from the USA to Canada) into the USA from Canada would require?

I transport cars back and forth regularly
For US citizens importing a car from Canada you require an EPA sticker
If you cant be present at US Customs you then need a customs broler to do it all for you
They usually charge 300_400.

Because this vehicle was originally purchased used in the US and removed from the US wouldn't the EPA sticker (I assume you mean emissions stickers) be in place?

Well I guess I will just have look on the bright side, now I may have a shot at the fastest resident Fiero in Ontario title when I am done my upgrades next month. Haha

I thought Chris might have been one of the potentials buyers to save converting his to turbo.

Glad the car sold so quickly, good for you and good sign for the Fiero market
