That Fiero has a 2.0L turbo Toyota engine. If it was mine the first thing I do is toss that "Toyo" (Toyo= Dominican slang for mess) off to the dumpster!
And knowing is done there, I can imagine how many corners they cut!

Oh yes thats true, cutting corners is the culture! I have been scrolling through thousands of ad's to find a decent used car there. They all are 'nitido' and 'nunca chocada' with only 100k Km's. Then the pictures show worn seats and steeringwheels, misaligned frontpanels, missing airfilters etc. And that is only what is in the pictures. Odometers rolled back. And there are no inspections there.
I had a look at a neighbours car which was overheating, probably a bad headgasket. His "mecanic"s solution was replacing the coolant with engine oil! Obviously still overheating. I had a laugh at this dominican solution and said the guy he was screwed. In the DR if you can hold a brush you're a painter, if you have a hammer you are a carpenter and if you have a wrench you're a mecanic.

That's exactly right on the money! Have you heard of stopping coolant leaks by dumping a couple of eggs in the radiator? Or filling the rear end with chicken skin to quiet a howling rear end!

I heard that years ago people would put sawdust in the tranny and rear end to quiet them.
