Question:
Hello, I was just wondering if you guys have any clever ideas on ways I can upgrade the performance on my '85 Fiero GT. Right now its just bone stock, I was thinking of a cold air intake, new bigger ported throttle body, and maybe a bigger exhaust. It's Automatic also so I cant really do much with that can I? Thanks for the coming tips!

it all depends on how much cash you want to put in it. i had a Fiero and i would not have spent a nickle on it. cant remember the year but it was junk. broke down allot.there is a huge market for you fiero guys. the craze right now is swapping in a northstar V8 engine, or changing the entire body! i've even seen a complete "Ferrari Fiero" before. very unique.
as far as performance bolt-ons, i think you have a good basis with the intake system and the exhaust. also, for the transmission, B&M and other companies make shift kits that make the automatic transmission a little bit more fun to play with by raising the line pressure and firming up the shifts.
later on, you may want to look at a new set of cams, some ported intake manifolds, exhaust headers, to name a few. good luck, and check out some of the forums that are out there. they prove to be a huge help.
Which car is best to use as a taxi cab here in the philippines? toyota vios or corolla altis?
I hate to say it--but your first concern is the front end lift at high speeds. it is known that the normal Fiero at 95 mph lifts badly --and is discouraged along with the Fiero Gt in any form of active racing. So your first concern is to remove the rear wing/spoiler and increase the size of the front. At in the cold air intake--- if you could pipe the high pressure cold air back to the engine, maybe that would get you an extra 5 hp at 60 miles an hour--but not worth the work. Larger throttle body and exhaust would get you a few extra here and there--- but only above 5500 rpm's, and it would be a little slower from 0-60.I have no idea why you want to upgrade this car. Because of the problems that plagued it for cooling, weak clutch, no racing following for decent after-market parts , over steering, lite front end, and unstable at speeds (esp in turns) at 95 mph and higher. It's a neat little car and safe as it is---just leave it alone and enjoy it.
As far as turning into a kit car--do you really want to put $12,000-$25,000 building it up and have a resale value of $3500. This is a 22 years old car, it has no race heritage in SCCA racing, has no street credibility, and not even slated for a possible collectible.
