    YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR AND CLEAR OUT THE CRAP FROM THE HEATER BOX!!!! THIS IS REAL IMPORTANT!!!! In a Fiero the crap off the windshield ends up in the heater blower box. The problem is the resistors for the fan get red hot. This happens when the fan is on and the speed is at anything but HIGH. The resistors knock down the voltage. They get hot and THEY WILL start the crap in your heater box on fire. Under the front hood take out the blower motor - It's quite easy - reach in and clean out all the crap. Do this BEFORE your Fiero starts on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll see how that goes. Don't need to spend the money on exhaust upgrades at this time. I like the rack I put in on my brothers, really works nice. Hope my Power steering box upgrade works as good.

    I have a1996 black 750il v12 sitting in my driveway. It ran when it was parked. It belonged to my deceased brother. It's totally complete and a beautiful car. Last time I rode in it he showed me that it had no government on the engine. It easily hit 180mph. Took a few to get there but it did and it felt like it still had more balls! The wheels on it are BMW wheels but they are offset. Looks just like Tupac's last lift.

      They are truly awesome cars, you should get back on the road and enjoy it. I’m sure your brother had a some from ear to ear when driving it. I know I did. I have a 1999 740i Sport, it belonged to a famous person that I was friends with, he passed away 13 years ago and I got his car. I drove it for 8 years till the motor went. I have another friend painting it now, should be done real soon. I’ll be doing some cool work to it real soon. I have the same wheels you are talking about. Stay tuned for that video

    Oh no that car was so significant in making me a NASCAR fan I was there that day in Loudon, New Hampshire, sitting in the bleachers behind the finish line, watching Dale Earnhardt, trying to chase down Ricky Rudd in the final lapse of the race to no avail that was the day I became a NASCAR fan that was the day I became a dale Earnhardt fan and honestly he didn’t win. Many races finally got fed up and became a Jeff Gordon fan because he was winning all the races

    My first car was a 76 Camaro, sold it when my oldest was born and have wanted another ever since and I just a 81, It not the same model year, color or engine, mine was a 76 RS, it was yellow with Biege interior and had a 350, this one is a base 81, it's Blue with Silver interior and it's a got a 4.1L 250 strait six in it but after looking for 20 plus years for a 2nd gen that I could actually afford I don't care about any of that, It does need a paint job so I might change the color and they seats need some work where the seams have come apart so I MIGHT just dye them and the dash brown also but the engine was trans and rear end was just rebuilt so I'm not touching them. Plus I got it in a package deal with a 2001 2 Grand-Am for my 12 year old grandson when he turns 16.

    doing good, look into panel bonding adhesive by 3M ,I have used the product in many areas instead of welding , non structural areas ,floor pan overlap , rockers, window channel is a perfect place, places that warp , or combination of the two , when done ,, don't fuck up and try to undo it, that's not happening, you will destroy the panel trying to separate ,they have different dry times.
