Pontiac Fiero Kit Car 308/mera on 2040-cars
Walworth, New York, United States
|
The car was purchased off ebay in the spring of 2012. The actual
building of the kit is posted on the Fiero Forum at….http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/087053.html The
owner did a great job on the kit, but had so much time into it I think he was a
little overwhelmed by the mechanicals. Also, he had badged it as a Ferrari. I
wasn’t big on everyone telling me “That’s just a fake Ferrari” and I thought
the MERA had an interesting story, so I created a MERA clone, so no; this is
not a true MERA. I started with the motor. Existing motor had a massive oil leak, and a rod knock, so I
pulled it and replaced with a 2.8 that I had rebuilt at a machine shop. The
motor was bored, new bearings, new oil pump, polished crank. New pistons and
rings, heads shaved and valve job done. Comp Cams cam shaft and roller rockers
installed, new alternator, water pump, hoses, plugs, wires, coil, distributor and
Gel battery. MSD Ignition. Motor is basically a @250 hp 3.1 liter. While the
motor was out, I cleaned and repainted the engine compartment, and installed a
new battery tray. The engine runs great, and has less than 3,000 miles since
the rebuild. The exhaust is custom, I replaced the cherry bomb muffler with a
catalytic converter so the car is NYS legal. Listed below is all the mechanical parts/work I have done ·

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
