Please send all responses to these open issues to
Jim Hallman at
jhallman@fierofocus.com

You can download the question list here to print out
and take with to look over your Fiero(s).

*When sending in your responses please include the question(s) you are responding to.*


1. Rubber Seal Radiator Gasket (click here for picture).
We believe this seal is only used on the radiator late in the 1988 model year.
We need to hear from 1988 Fiero owners to confirm if this radiator seal is or is not on your Fiero.
Please provide the last six digits of your VIN# when responding.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. We are looking to add the torque rating for the various 3-speed automatic, 4-speed
manual, and 5-speed manual transmission options available in the Fiero.
Do you have this data available to share?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. From our research it appears that the automatic transmission shifter boots are mounted
to the center console in one or two different ways. Either they have an elastic band
or with a plastic brace. We are looking for two things:
A. We need a high-resolution image(s) of each of these different mounting techniques.

B. Please provide your Fiero(s) model year and body style and indicate which
mounting style you have - elastic band or plastic brace so we can verify when
the different techniques were utilized.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. We are looking to add a listing of weights for the various stock Fiero wheels for all
model years. We need the weights for the wheels only (not with the tires mounted on them)
for the following wheel styles (you can find images of these wheels in the Image Gallery in
your Enthusiasts Guide):
A. 13" Steel Rally Wheel offered both with and without the trim ring
B. 14" HI-Tech Turbo aluminum wheel
C. 13" Turbo Finned aluminum wheel
D. 15" Gray Diamond Spoke aluminum wheel ('86-'87 GT)
E. 15" Black (or Gold) Diamond Spoke aluminum wheel - Front ('88 GT)
F. 15" Black (or Gold) Diamond Spoke aluminum wheel - Rear ('88 GT)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. The ’85 V6 Fieros included a trunk mounted cooling fan that blew cool air on the
alternator and the ignition coil. Please take a high-resolution image of this cooling
fan motor as it is mounted in the trunk as well as the two cooling tubes, which are
mounted in the engine compartment to add to our Enthusiasts Guide.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. We are looking to compare the brands and tire sizes for the spare tire located in the
front compartment in all Fiero model years – 1984 – 1988. If your spare tire is original
to your Fiero, please submit the tire size, tire brand, model year and body style
of your Fiero to us for review of this information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. The luggage rack bar that spans the width of the Fiero’s trunk has a different length when
it was installed on the Fastback GT body style. We are looking for the dimensions of
both the Notchback body style’s luggage rack bar length as well as the Fastback
body style’s luggage rack bar length. Please indicate how many support bars you
have mounted to your deck lid
(
please identify if your Fiero is a notchback or a fastback).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.
The latch that holds down the sunroof has two different styles
marked Sunroof Latch – With (click here for picture) and Sunroof Latch – Without (click here for picture).
We believe that the sunroof latch without the ledge was offered in the 1984-1986 Fieros.
The sunroof latch with the ledge appears to only be offered with the sunroof sunshade (1987 & 1988).
We need to hear from Fiero owners of each model year, 1984 through 1988 to verify which latch
was used when.
If your sunroof is original to your Fiero, please provide us with your Fiero's model year
and body style (Coupe, SE, GT, etc.) while indicating if your sunroof latch is with or without the ledge.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. The throttle body warm air intake uses a corrugated pipe for the 1984 model year.
In 1985 and later years a formed steel pipe was used for the 4-cylinder models.
We are looking for images of both the 1984 corrugated pipe as well as the
1985 formed steel pipe. Please submit a high-resolution image of this piping to be included in
the Enthusiasts Guide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. In 1984, the sunroof wind deflector was originally molded in smooth, black plastic. As a running change, the
wind deflector was changed to a textured, black plastic. If you have a 1984 Fiero with the original smooth,
black plastic wind deflector, please submit the last six digits of your VIN # along with a high-resolution
image of the smooth, black plastic wind deflector to be included in the Enthusiasts Guide.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. The 1986 and 1987 Fiero SE and GT offered as an option the Camel colored leather and suede seats.
Please submit a high-resolution image of this seat in a similar perspective as the other seat images
in your Enthusiasts Guide’s Image Gallery.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. The black trim around the triangular sail panel windows for 1984 Fieros is different than the 1985 and later years.
Please submit a high-resolution image of this trim from your 1984 Fiero from a similar perspective as
the image marked Sail Panel Trim
