    WTB C5 Front Calipers & Brackets

    Might be a long shot, but I know there are quite a few C5 owners on this forum. Looking for a set of C5 front calipers and brackets to be swapped onto my Fiero before I hit up eBay.

    Window Tint

    Did a search but nothing came back within the last two years. Looking for recommendations to get the windows tinted on my TourX. I’m located in the Southwest suburbs, Brookfield, and would like to stay local if possible but can travel for a quality place. Thanks!

    Is that a Buick? wagon edition

    Lots of changes lately have prompted some big moves. The wife and I are expecting our first child in May which kicked this all into motion. I work from home and travel a lot all over the country and have had the benefit of a company car the last six years. With a kid on the way I don’t want to...

    Buying car out of state

    In the market for certified used car and one of the options is located in Indiana. Haven't bought a car in years, plus never done one out of state, so looking for input from those that have. The main question is with sales tax, does the dealer collect it based on Illinois and send it to them...

    Intermittent Stall and Rough Restart

    Trying to fix a few lingering issues on the Fiero before next weekends Indian Uprising car show. I have an idea of what to test but wanted some additional input before digging in. Car is L67 swapped with a Northstar TB, LQ4 MAF (recently replaced) and GenV supercharger. The engine will randomly...

    Oil Pan Gasket

    Changing the oil pan gasket as it was leaking like a sive. I know to put RTV in the corners of the pan where the block and front/rear cover meet, but should I put a bead sign the entire gasket? Really don’t want to have to take the whole engine cradle out again just for this gasket so I want to...

    Series II vs III Starter Motor

    As the title says. Is one superior to the other? The Fiero is having issues starting and I believe it to be the starter. Seeing as it was a OEM junkyard find, its probably best to replace soon anyway.

    Escape Rooms

    Tonight the fiancé and I, along with another couple, did one of those escape rooms and had an absolute blast! I was a bit skeptical about the whole thing but now find myself wanting to try more of them. We went to the Vault Room in Riverside which is right on Harlem. Right now they have two...

    Surging idle and no start

    When starting, the idle surges 700-1200 rpms for a bit then will normalize, also happens when coming to a stop at times (car in neutral). I consider this pretty normal since I completed the engine swap into the Fiero and didn't think much of it till today. I drove around about 30 min and then...

    300 whp Goal

    Starting to put together a plan for the 3800 swapped into my Fiero. My goal all along has been approx. 300 whp and am now really thinking through the different options to get there. Originally, my goal was to go XP cam and intercooler to get those numbers however after re-evaluating it may be...

    PCV, GenV and Breather

    I blocked the PCV port on the GenV swapped L67 in my Fiero, something I've seen others do in this swap before. When the engine is shut off a hiss noise is heard which I traced to air escaping the oil dipstick tube, should have figured this would happen. Previously in my GTP I just routed a hose...

    Gauging Interest: 98 GTP

    I'm helping my gf's neighbor out with selling their car. It's a 98 GTP with approx 168k miles on it. The body and chassis is in rough shape: lots of rust underneath, rockers are completely gone, rear strut towers have rust as do the brake lines and fuel lines. Car starts and idles fine (aside...

    Bad Oil?

    I went to install new valve cover gaskets on the L67 going into my Fiero today and noticed something with the oil sitting in the heads. The engine hasn't run in close to 2 years but ran just fine with no excess smoke or smells when running. On the rear head I noticed milky white oil sitting in...

    Gas Tank Repair Shops

    I discovered the tank on my Fiero at one point had a leak and a PO used a gasket/screw combo to patch the hole. It isn't really leaking at this point but for piece of mine I'd like it fixed correctly. Has anyone had a tank repaired in the area before? I'm looking for suggestions on places to...

    First to 88 mph wins

    Driving on 294 today I came across a large group of Deloreans that I believe we're part of Hot Rod Power Tour. There were 8 in total, the lead car had a hover board strapped to the back decklid :rofl:

    These cars have a habit of multiplying

    Not even two weeks after selling my GTP I've added another car to my fleet, this one being an 87 Pontiac Fiero GT. I've been scrounging Craigslist on and off for the last few years for a donor car to replace my current rust ridden Fiero. This new one has 136k miles on it but somehow has near...

    A/C Compressor Clutch

    My GTP's had an a/c clutch rattle off and on ever since I've owned it, going on 6 years now. It would come on intermittently but always go away. After it sat for a few months the rattle is more persistent, haven't driven it enough to see if it still goes away after a while. Where I'm going...
