No one near Oologah to let you try one out?



I’ve never asked. I did ride in a Fiero once. My brother owned a couple GTs 15 or 20 years ago. He went through a period in his life when he was trying out a lot of different types of cars. That’s how he became a fan of the Beretta GTZ, especially the Quad powered version, and that’s how I arrived at the decision to swap a Quad into a Fiero. He thought a Quad in a Fiero would be perfect.

The only thing that stood out to me when I rode in his Fiero is that the auto transmission badly needed a fourth gear.

Seems likely that there’s a vehicle out there with a power rack that moves the correct way and will fit on a Fiero.

On the Colorado/Canyon rack, the motor is mounted on the bottom, which would work well on a Fiero.

Funny how after you do some google searches, ads similar to what you were looking for pop up on your FB feed. This one popped up today:



I believe it won't work on a Fiero because it moves the wrong way, but it's the first one I've seen that has the motor inline with the tie rod end. If we could find this design that attaches to the vehicle in front of the knuckles, seems like it would be an ideal setup for the Fiero.

For the time being the easiest solution appears to be using a rack that uses an electric pump. WCF makes a conversion kit that allows such a rack to be installed.forum member Spoon has such a rack and electric pump on his Fiero
