This is my 1985 Pontiac Fiero. I've owned it for going on 17 years now and will never think of getting rid of it. Read on to learn why. You can learn MUCH more about this car and other Fieros at www.Fiero.com. You can learn more about the engine and upgrades at www.zzperformance.com

This is what the car used to look like. Compared to now. You may have seen my old Cardomain page on here as its still up. I definitely like the new look better.
I swapped in a Supercharged 3800 V6 and tranny from a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix.

And unlike some people on here , mine does see the track and has PROVEN performance. 11.7 @ 117 mph is plenty fast for a street driven daily driver.


With a gross weight of 3000 pounds with the driver that equates to over 350 HP to the wheels! Mods to the motor include ZZP Intercooler, ZZP XP cam, upgraded valve springs, DHP computer with adjustable timing, ZZP ported Stage 2 Throttle Body, 2.75 inch pulley on blower for 12 pounds of boost,ported exhaust manifolds, custom 3 inch exhaust with QTP valve. All the work on the car including the swap and paint and interior was done by myself.

I molded in this hood vent for three reasons...one to help with cooling, two...to stop the headlight doors from flying open at high spped, and three...cause it looks cool and gives a lil attitude to the car. Although it may look like it was easy...it was more work then i thought when i started. But the end results were well worth it.

I also added new Hella headlights with lowprofile headlight buckets. Learn more about these on the forums at Fiero.com

Fast12secFiero's 1985 Pontiac Fiero


Here is a side by side comparison of the new and old headlights.

I also added a lower chin spoiler from Fiero Warehouse. . It looks jus right! Some people barely notice its there but it does lower the front but not so much that it hits curbs and speedbumps. Plus it comes off with the removal of 6 bolts.

And heres a close up of the rims. They are 18X7.5 And I am running 245/45 tires in the rear and and 225/40 in the front. The car actually rides a lot smoother then the old 17's I had and the steering effort was not effected at all. For racing I swap on my 17 inch Centerline 5 stars with drag radials,since they weigh alot less then these do and offer MUCH better traction.
Jus showing off!

I attend alot of car shows trying to get The Fiero noticed. Not jus mine but trying to let people know the car is pretty freakin cool and can be made to perform.

And now FINALLY pics of the interior.

Fast12secFiero's 1985 Pontiac FieroI redid the seats using MrMikes.com seat covers and then used ACC for the floor mats and black carpet. SEM interior vinyl dye was used to change the door panels and dash from tan to red and black.

Fast12secFiero's 1985 Pontiac Fiero I installed Nordskog digital guages and also a AEM wideband A/F gauge to monitor the exhaust gases which is REAL important on a Forced Induction motor. I scan the motor with the AeroForce Scan Guage. It sits in the top pod on the pillar. Its a scanner that allows me to monitor any two parameters at any given time. I can change the parameters any time I choose. Its great for watching the Knock Sensors. It'll also give 1/4 mile times and a estimate HP rating.

Fast12secFiero's 1985 Pontiac FieroHeres a pic of the rear appliques I made. They are filled and smoothed in. And "SUPERCHARGED V6" was painted on them. Non Fiero people may not notice 'em but I think they definitely smooth out and update the looks.

I've recently molded in a rear decklid scoop. Its not there to let air in but to let it out. I think I am the first to use this style scoop. It came out ok. The angles in the scoop opening go with the front hoodvent and are the same as the angles of the spoiler.

Look for the headlights on Fiero.com in the Mall section. The ground effects are stock Fiero GT except the front bumper cover has a lower spoiler from Fiero Warehouse.
