Here is a picture of my 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE. It has a 4 cylinder, coupled with a 5 speed tranny. The car is in excellent shape; especially under the floor pan, and the back end subframe.

Current Mods:
1) Lowered 1.5" in front, 2" in back with Eibach Springs
2) Giant 13" high Aero-speed Wing
3) Two big vibrant mufflers at back
4) K & N air filter
5) Holley Side Intake Scoop
6) Holley Valve Covers
7) Hurst Short Shifter
8) White Gauge Faces
9) Sunpro Monster Tach
10) Autometer Fuel/Ratio and Voltmeter gauges (in dual pillar pod)
11) Grant Steering Wheel
12) Under-body Lights
13) Custom Tail lights
14) GM 5 star rims
15) 3/4" Aftermarket rear sway-bar: really awesome, you can power-slide going into corners!
16) Poly-urethane bushings all around. This thing handles like a Go-Kart.

Interior shot. Nice and clean. Kinda cheap seat covers, but I plan to redo the seat in tan leather

Another shot of the interior. Nothing too special. Notice the white face gauges. They glow nice at night.

The car is presently at Hi-Tech Development getting a full restoration done in the back-engine compartment. The pics below were taken on September 27th, 2003.

List of things that are going to be completed by March/April 2004:

1) Powder-coated Engine Compartment: which involves sand-blasting, epoxy-primer, and rock-guard.
2) Sub-Floor restoration; althought the sub-floor is in great condition, it is going to be sand-blasted and rock-guarded to show-quality.
3) The 4 cylinder is being replaced with a 3.4L, and the block is being painted gold to match the car.
4) Brand new KYB shocks all around
5) Brand new factory performance cross-drilled brakes all around.
6) All brake lines are being replaced with custom lines.

The estimate start date of this project is november 1st, 2003.

My goal is go for a stock-modified. I originally wanted to put a v8 in this thing, however the cost associated with that is unbelievable; if it is done right. Which I wouldn't have it done any other way.....for safety reasons, and for cosmetic reasons.

The guys at Hi-Tech Development are the best, in my opinion, so I'm really looking forward on how this car's restoration is going to turn out; and I imagine its going to be top notch.

After this is done, I plan to rip the entire interior out, and go with a fiberglass Ferrari 355 dash kit, with leather seats, and door trim.

More pics will be up soon, so check back!
