1988 Pontiac Fiero LX review from North America

Sway bar link rubber bushing dry rotted/ replaced by me at a parts cost of $5.16 (easy job)

Fan belt dry rotted / broke while driving; was able to drive it home 2 miles. Then drove to auto parts, replaced in parking lot in 5 minutes, cost $18.00 (easy job)

Fuel injector plugged, new cost $84.00. I paid $80.00 for the car, went to junk yard, removed one from 88 Buick Century replaced it for 5.00 (very easy)

Battery cradle was rusted out, not acid ate as I have read on this site. Pontiac could not seen the water that holds in the pan plus the weight of battery holds moisture for longer amounts of time because of the louvered vents. Will replace with a plastic one (to do)

Drivers side seat bolster fabric is worn to foam from entry and exits of the car; will have to replace the fabric as soon as I can figure out a way to keep it from recurring (duck tape is not an answer to everything)

Vacuum hose from air cleaner to EVA. canister dry rotted. replaced at a cost of $1.89 (to easy)

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I dated a girl that worked at the Fiero Plant in Pontiac, Michigan. Her job was to install the stickers on the air cleaner (4 TECT). Mine is still in-tact and the car drives and handles far better than most all other makes and models that I have fixed up and driven. (thanks Suzie)

But the best part of driving my Fiero is when people of all ages come up to me and ask all sorts of questions from, What kind of car is it, to how fast does it go? The one question I love to answer is how many gas stations I pass.
