Fiero Kept, New Car Acquired (Page 2/4) rbell2915 DEC 21, 12:35 AM I see, they look kind of complicated (but what do I know, I'm 16) but they look so fun. Thanks. kwagner DEC 21, 10:24 AM Will you be changing your username to AWDPLZ? Nice car, congrats RWDPLZ DEC 21, 07:39 PM quote Originally posted by V8 Vega: You have your brand new car out in the rain? It hasn't stopped raining since I bought the car. Supposed to flood tonight in the area, then start snowing. I put it in the garage to dry off after I took these pictures, and programmed the Homelink to open the garage door. I noticed the radio antenna wasn't installed on the car, even though I didn't have any trouble with reception. Looked by the spare tire, and there it was. I'll install it after the car dries off. The car goes 300 highway miles before the low fuel light comes on. I only put 13 gallons in, and it's supposed to be a 16.9 gallon tank. RWDPLZ JAN 05, 07:21 PM I DID finally get to drive the car on some dry roads once, on the way home from Traverse City about a week ago. MAN was it nice. Car has about 820 miles on it now, and it just keeps getting better. RWDPLZ MAY 05, 08:02 PM 2100 miles now, and ended up driving the car through the worst winter and snow Detroit has seen in over 100 years. Washed and waxed it yesterday, used the Ammo paint regimen. Looks better now than when I picked it up. http://www.ammonyc.com/ Boostdreamer MAY 05, 08:28 PM quote Originally posted by RWDPLZ: No, just takes practice. I think a month from now it should be second nature. Driving it to work every day should be good repetitive practice. I've been driving my automatic Fiero for a year and a half. Yesterday, I came to a stop light and pushed the shifter into neutral like I was still driving my 5-speed. I guess flashbacks can happen at any time!

Assuming the scoop is functional, how does the car deal with rainwater being funneled into such a large opening? Maybe you could post a picture with the hood open. I like Subaru cars. There are a few real quick ones that autocross locally. RWDPLZ MAY 06, 07:10 AM Yep, functional hood scoop. It feeds directly into the intercooler. In Japan on the Spec C model, they offer an intercooler spray option, which sprays water onto the intercooler to cool it, so I would imagine the rain actually has a positive effect on performance.

Not actual shifting, but hand there starting to. Between the Fiero 5 spd, Silverado column auto and Trail Blazer floor auto. It really gets interesting after coming off a trip with the Harley. I find myself leaning in the car/truck while making turns. avengador1 MAY 06, 11:02 PM You forgot to Armor-All your tires. Shame on you!
