Many of us put our Fieros into a deep sleep for the winter. Though your Fiero may be hibernating as you read this, our January NIFE club meeting will cover what to plan for while the car is in hibernation. NIFE Activity Director Matt Meyer will also discuss items to inspect and consider replacing when bringing your Fiero back to life in the spring. This way, you can budget for things that might be needed and start collecting them throughout the winter.

For our second topic, NIFE Activity Director Todd Weikal will be discussing wheel and tire combinations and how they look and fit on your Fiero. He will provide examples of many different combinations and backspacing options to show how they change the fit within the wheel well and how well they meet the outside of the fenders. Todd will also explain how to measure bolt patterns and backspacing.

For our third segment, guest speaker Kevin Wagner from Wags Klassic Electronics (check him out on Facebook) will discuss factory radios and how to improve them. There is a certain amount of complexity in making repairs to the factory radios when parts are no longer available and Kevin will discuss options to add Bluetooth to your unit along with the limits of this era of radios. In an age where everyone wants the stock, factory look with an updated, working radio, there are still options that include specialized amps and factory reproduction speakers with the correct ohm rating. What are your options to replace your Fiero�s factory unit with something that maintains a factory appearance, but is newer?

Celebrate the holidays with your fellow NIFE members at the home of NIFE Founder and President Jim Hallman and First Lady Jenni Hallman at 2039 Yellow Daisy Court Naperville, IL 60563 (near the I-88 and Route 59 interchange) on Saturday, December 28, 2024.

The NIFE board members will provide the main dish options (BBQ beef sliders, Swedish meatballs, sides, etc.) and non-alcoholic soft drinks (pop, water, non-alcoholic punch, etc.) for you to enjoy. No need to bring a gift; instead, bring something to share for dessert.

Come and enjoy the holidays with your NIFE friends in the ambiance of a live Christmas tree adorned with antique lead tinsel. This is an open house-style party, so feel free to arrive when you can and leave when you must between 5:00pm and 8:00pm.

Please RSVP to Jim Hallman at jhallman@FieroFocus.com no later than Friday, December 27, 2024, so we can plan for the number of guests that will be celebrating with us. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
