Hey there Julian (Mera 8071),
That is a good question. I never concerned myself with it because I am pretty certain the screen will eject when the car is in Drive with the stock console configuration. My plan was to use the screen as a full time rear view mirror because of the low visibility out of the rear view of my car. Control would be from the front face plate of the unit when the car was in park with the screen hidden. For screen up/open while in park, Nelson would have to weigh in with a clearance dimension for the units he has mentioned.
This link will help you to post pics. Just follow the directions.

Van & Nelson, thank you for the audio information. Nelson, long time no see.... Van hello for the first time I'm Julian or Mera 8071.
I was not thinking of doing a flip up screen but wow does it ever look great. I'll start researching prices next. I plan on replacing all 4 speakers and will use the factory under dash sub. Do you recommend any type of amp? I don't need to blow the doors off but my exhaust has a sweet rumble that I may need to up the volume. 
So let me get this straight... the standard 1988 dash is 1.5 din? Does the flip up screen have enough room to eject when the automatic transmission is in "park"? I really like the idea of having nav, touch screen, BT, rear view cam and videos. Funny thing I was just looking for a normal 1.5 din head unit that was loud. You guys opened up a whole new ball game. Send some links and keep the info coming. I thought stock Fiero's are limited in the depth for radio units.
Also can someone remind me how to post a picture? I been away about 3 years.

Julian.
All of my Meras use a standard transmission so I cannot provide any clearance information wrt ejecting a CD with an automatic transmission. WRT the photo posting, take a look at the red/blue PIP rectangle at the bottom of the PFF page. Remember there is a limit on size for photos that can be posted so I typically resize using Light Image 4 or 5 but there are a number of programs that can do this.

Headlights and Coolant Temperature
I drove my Mera at highway speeds at night for the first time a few months ago and the coolant temp ran about 10 degrees warmer than the 185 degrees I normally see.
Thinking that the thermostat was failing I changed it and saw normal coolant temperature until this weekend when driving at night again at highway speeds, same 10 degrees above normal.
The next day I unplugged the headlight bulbs and experimented with the headlights during the day at highway speeds. At 70 MPH cruise temp was normal,
I turned the headlights on and the coolant temperature slowly climbed about 10 degrees, when I lowered the headlights the temperature slowly went back to normal temperature.
I think the headlights must be affecting the airflow behind the radiator causing the higher temperature.
I was driving with some other Fieros and they see the same temps with headlights in either position.
Has anyone else experienced this?

only issues I ever had with wind under headlight covers are at 120 mph and higher.......D'Oh! they pop up with no warning.
maybe at higher speeds winds get diverted differently. you got a good lower aero-dam....skirt thingy?? mine is ripped. i run 197*
when leaning on it but also have a 3800 SC swap.......i bet these are related concerning under hood pressures and movement of hot air

Nice looking car in most respects. The front bumper is a Rodney Dickman Euro bumper, the mirrors are not stock (along with the controller), and the engine needs some paint in a few locations. There are some nonstock items/changrs in the interior, but if you got rid of all the F car stuff, it would be a decent vehicle (IMHO). I did not look closely but saw two types of wheels so maybe this car comes with Chromadoras and one other wheel set. The $25 k asking price is more than a bit high in my opinion, but I hope the owner gets his/her desired price. If he/she does it might up the value of my cars!

The bidding on this vehicle is absolutely crazy and is now up to $21,000. I do see the same bidder pushing the price up from almost the start so I have some questions as to the legitimacy of this sale. It has met the reserve price so I guess that we will see if it is real or not.

Here are a couple of Pics of Kent Dellenbusch's Mera if you haven't seen them in the Mera rims thread.
It looks great, I like the front and rear bumpers.
