          Those are neat cars. Does yours have the old Iron Duke or the V6? A friend of mine had a Duke with an automatic in a Fiero, and despite the completely crappy driveline it was still fun to drive. Hers had a bad rear tie rod end though and the back right tire would shift whenever you got on the throttle. Very strange feeling when the rear tire kicks on you.

              Well this is my second one I've owned so I know their quirks quite well. This one is the duke but with a 5-speed. Just like driving a go cart.

                    My only issue with them is that I'm allergic to fiberglass so when ever I work on them I get hives.

                      Cut hands on the exhaust? Why, is the exhaust manifold pointed toward the front of the car like it was on the N-body?

                        Yes it is pointed towards the front of the car towards the firewall.

                          Ah. Must be rather tight clearance there, then. Which would seem to suggest that the 2.8L cars must be even worse, no?

                              now a 350 shoehorned into a fiero would be insane
