Was busy updating my VM Ware certifications this past weekend, so I did not get a lot completed on the car.

I was able to work on the PCM a little bit:

Can't wait to see this at one of the Texas meets!! Looks like this thing will have more options than my 2010 DD.

Marine1981...Thanks...I will definitely be making the rounds this spring & summer if all goes as planned!

I had the option to go and purchase a really nice high-end car, but decided I still wouldn't be getting what I really wanted.

So I decided to take the same money I would have spent on a Porsche or G37s Infinity and have put it into this Fiero.

I wanted to keep the majority of the Fiero lines, but upgrade all the mechanical and electronics to bring it up to current day technology.

So I started creating a spreadsheet of the options I wanted to include and started figuring out how I was going to implement them.

I then started also reviewing how to improve or incorporate someone else's improvements into her as well.

OK...Just in case anyone is not aware of where the Dash is coming from.


It is one of Rob / Amida's newly produced Gallardo inspired dash...the G1
( thank you Rob...less than 2 years later and he produced exactly what I asked for )

Pricing for the do-it-yourself parts kit will be set tentatively at us$1599.00 + s&h.

Trimming, prep & upholstery are optional.
