Anyone recognize this Pontiac? You don't see them very often, especially not in this condition.

Pontiac Fiero GT 2M6

Damn that takes me back. High school buddy of mine had one of those, thing was beat to shit, literally had almost 300,000 miles on it and as dumb teenagers he'd pull the ebrake every chance he got. Ahh the good ol days.

Holy crap, it's hard to believe a Fiero would even make it to 300,000 miles!

Right? They caught fire more than a Tesla.

LOL! They certainly had that reputation.

The Z06 was very nice. I hadn't seen that color in person before (Accelerate Yellow). It didn't have the Z07 package, but it had the Z07 aero bits as well as the Jake Graphics package.

Who said it never caught fire?

Hit 60k miles, bought brand new with 3 back in Feb of '22. '22 Summit White ZLE A10.

Finally got around to circling back on continuing with installing BMR suspension pieces. Added the upper trailing arms...



Already installed the rear cradle lockout kit and rear cradle front brace. Installed the BMR upper and lower trailing arms, toe rod, and upper control arms on the passenger side. Still need to install the upper control arm and toe rod on the driver's side. Once that's finished I can install the front and rear sway bars and end links

Recently picked up a 3d printer and have been tinkering with printing in ASA...

How involved was the suspension setup? Easy to do in a garage with some hand tools?

I’ve installed pretty much everything BMR on mine with just hand tools and jackstands. If you have some knowledge of what you’re doing and look at the photos and instructions on their website it’s pretty easy. Just don’t over torque anything

Well I hit this milestone. I bought it to drive it and plan on continuing doing that.

Nice! Probably safer to take a pic at 9mph than at 90mph. Then again these cars are rock solid at 100mph so maybe it would've been just as easy.
Congrats and here's to many more miles!

It's pretty simple. I have a QuickJack which makes things easier and more comfortable but I did my entire WRX suspension in my driveway a few years back with just some jack stands and wheel cribs and it wasn't horrible

Hardest part I've found is the extra 105 degrees on the new OEM bolts after hitting the torque spec.. some of the bolts it's hard to get good leverage and get that extra twist, lol. Just be sure to load the suspension before torquing the bolts to spec.

I'm doing a video of each component while working through everything... playlist of the videos can be found here, https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...Bk8e0lzffoTT76, if bored lol.
