So fieros are pretty cheap nowadays, what are the thoughts on

They are actually not cheap at all and an engine swap is mandatory to have fun in one. Why bother?

I have a co-worker that has like 4 Fieros that he restored because he thinks they'll be worth something someday lol.

Find one that's already been swapped then, they're just about more common than stock ones.

>>17668926
They're only not cheap if you go for an 88, which is basically the only good model to get for the improved suspension. Otherwise, I'm seeing them for $5k and under, even for under 100k miles.

Engine swap mostly mandatory on the I4, the V6 is alright. Not fancy but not as underpowered.

Still would rather recommend a C4 and learn to maintain that instead of taking on a whole project, but that's just me.

They're great cars. Any problem you have with the Fiero has an aftermarket fix. Even the dashboard/door panels.

This is true. Even have hatch kits and all kinds of crazy shit. Location? I've got a bunch of Fiero shit I'm probably going to toss out soon, don't need 5 center consoles personally, for example.

>>17669656
Fucking gross

Wow what a hacked together heap of garbage, I hope it's fast at least.

I've been eyeing this one on craigslist.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/cto/d/pontiac-fiero-gt-obo/6234755556.html

Just sold my foxbody and was thinking about getting a miata. But they want $4k for a piece of shit 4 cyl car. NTY. I can buy a fox for $2k.

I really like the way the fiero looks. I'm sure bitches would love it too. Either that or maybe get a turd gen. However, I still have a 2 project cars I haven't finished, so I really shouldn't be buying another.

>>17671206
did you like your foxbody?

>>17671269
Foxbody was super fun. V8 5 speed. Bought it for $2600 and sold it for a grand profit a year later after doing some simple fixes too it. Trying to buy a house and too many projects. Also couldn't keep it on the driveway and didn't want to park it in the street.

It was super reliable too. Only downside was the chassis is pretty loose, but that is fixed with subframe connectors. I'm not a crazy touge guy so it didn't bother me that much, but I noticed when I would lift it up with a jack.

I'd buy another if the opportunity came. Just trying out different cars to see what I like best.

>>17671269
Gonna chime in just with my experience. Super fun, the mod bug can bite you hard though. Frame connectors, torque box reinforcements, exhaust, short shifter, rear end gears, then STOP if you value your wallet. Parts are so cheap it's way too tempting to just upgrade and upgrade.

A friend of mine picked up a 1988 fierro two weeks ago. It has already coded and two pistons are misfiring. Now it just looks nice underneath the cover in the parking lot.

>>17668926
Wrong, the chopped top is mandatory for it to not look like absolute trash.

Implying I don't like 80's styling/ the best styling.

Jamming on some retro wave or the soundtrack for Drive.

Sorry for shit qual but a Fiero rally car is cool

This thread is eye opening for me. I never realized people truly liked fieros. This must be how people view my love of 90s nissans.

Mid engine, rear wheel drive. 80's styling. What is there not to like?

>>17668907
One that isn't a piece of shit isn't cheap.
They require too much work to be a decent car to be worth it. Seriously, you have to find a nice rust free one, then you have to swap it and revamp the suspension for it to even be worth driving.

>>17673481
Or start with an 88

Around here, they go for 3k+ for good runners

And then any number of engine swaps later and you've got a great little car.

I love Fieros.
I bought a cheap one when i was 18, and got bit hard though.

Better off getting an mr2 with a fiero body kit

Might as well post my GTP then since this is here

>>17673462
IDK. Just seems like a cheap knock off of an expensive car. Like you'll ever be taken seriously in one. Do they even have decent brakes or handle well at all? Do they have limited slip? We already know the interiors are total 80s GM shit.

The rear fender wells are very shallow, so if you're thinking having sporty wheel fitment think again.

A Fiero is a lot like a fox body that never came with a good engine except for the whole MR thing. MR cars are insane and if you fall in love with the weight balance of either an MR2 or a Fiero then you have a pretty huge gulf to cross between them and a good MR car.
