Its amazing to see some of the mileage that has accumulated on these engines/cars. Most built in the early 80s when the American car industry wasn't exactly known for building quality vehicles. My 84 has 100,000 miles on it having bought it fairly recently. Nothing was maintained. Everything has needed changing and NOW. Even the balljoints were so dry you could barely turn the steering wheel and it made a terrible racket going over the smallest of bumps. After changing needed parts and fluids and doing a chassis lube job...it runs as good as new....probably better. There is absolutely ZERO play in the steering/balljoints....compression is great....everything is good. This is a durable little vehicle. I'm looking forward to 100,000 more miles of trouble free service (hopefully) before I put a turbo 4 banger in there. I was tempted to buy a German car before buying this one....but man am I glad I made this choice....there is nothing like the Fiero anywhere.

Really? have you ever talked to anyone who owns those big boats called the cutlass supreme,impala and prarisienne.Those cars never die even the turds we know called chevettes lasted a very long time.Just how many pre 1985 honda cars do you see around?
