I was going around a blind turn monday when my front passenger side wheel hit a large piece of concrete some nice guy left in the middle of the road. I guess I hit the corner of it because it put a huge hole in my tire and DESTROYED my gt rims. But I thought that was the extent of the damage so I jacked it up to put on a spare. When I took the wheel off I saw the real damage, my rotor was cracked and control arm was bent a lot. I had it towed to a shop and today they gave me a list of things that need to be replaced but they have problems finding parts for them. I live in hawai'i and I have only seen 2 other fiero's so thats understandable. Does anyone know a good place to get parts, I haven't found a junkyard that has a fiero yet.

They will cost more than used but you can find what you need here

I believe the state should pay for it, considering you pay taxes day after day to have driveable roads.

Unless the road said "use at own risk" or "assumed road" or something along those lines..then your screwed.

the roads in hawai'i are horrible, but who would I have to tlk to to get the state to pay

If the concrete chunk was related to a state activity, such as nearby road construction, then you would contact the state or city offices and find out where to file a claim. If it was due to private construction then you're out of luck unless there was some way to identify where the concrete came from.

The city or state would just deny it. Taking pic where and when it happened would help. That story sucks man I feel for ya!

Unfortunatly this is usually true, unless you have a lot of documentation, pics, other witnesses, etc.


Oh.................and if you need used parts, LMK I have more than you can imagine.

What parts?

well my rim is destroyed but they said someone might be able to fix it. hey said the upper and lower control arm for the front, I need a new rotor as it was cracked, like a saddle in the back, the guy I talked to didn't know exactly what because he was like the assistant, i'll call them and get a list and post it up

I finaly got the list of parts he needs to do the repairs. Right upper control arm, Right lower control arm, Right front spindle, grease seal, Right inner wheel bearing, Right outter wheel bearing, right front brake rotor, front end link set, bar to frame bushings, right front wheel, SS535 P205/50R15. I noticed also that the passenger headlight is sticking up a like one inch.

Best bet is to check all the yards in the state and see if you can find one, you could get all the parts in one shot. You might still want to replace the rotor and bearings though. I would be highly dubuios about someone repairing a "destroyed" rim. Its either destroyed or its not. If its just bent a little it might be workable. Probably cost less just to get a new one rather than pay someone to beat on the old one though.

There is not a single fiero in any yards in the entire state, it really sucks. If I could find one it would be easier to get a whle another junk fiero for parts

try car-part.com shipping might hurt but you could find one in a CA and see what shipping would be.
