This is not a street legal car but could be made into one. The emmissions have been removed, there are lexan side and rear windows. This was intended to be an autocross vehicle but was never setup for a certain autocross category. There are more than $15k of modifications and parts added to the car. Here is a short list of some of the changes and parts on the car.

- Over a thousand dollars in AutoMeter Phantom gauges (Fuel level, Volts, Oil pressure, speedo, tach, water temp, oil temp and a boost gauge)

- Those gauges are mounted in a carbon fiber/kevar custom made dash

- There is a main kill switch

- This has a full roll cage

- Two bucket seats with 5 point seat belts 

- The raditor has been lowered several inches

- Racing fuel cell has been installed in the front of the car with a tilt switch installed incase of rollover

- Used only AN hose and fittings for the oil,brakes,clutch and fuel lines. There is over $1,500 in fittings and hoses in this car

- There is an oil cooler with fan

- Remote oil filter 

- Mallory fuel pump

- Small Odyssey battery which has been moved to the front of the car for better weight distribution. 

- There is a Megasquirt engine management system but currently not connected. I am running the car off the stock ECM at this point but is configured to quickly connect the Megasquirt just by connecting several connectors.

- There are several custom one off body panels including the front bumper, front hood and rear hood. Both steel doors have been replaced with fiber glass replacements to save weight. The side doors also have lexan windows again to save weight. The rear hood still needs to be fully mounted to the car. When you buy this car you will also be buying the molds that were used to make the custom fiber glass body panels and doors.

- There are aluminum rims but the tires need replaced

- The outside of the car will need repainted but the inside paint is fine

- The engine has been totally redone and doesn't have any miles on it. We used a 3.4L block with aluminum heads. The compression ratio has been changed due to the fact we are running a turbo. It still uses a distributor which has just been replaced and will need a timing light put on it to make sure the timing is spot on. The engine mounts have been replaced with totally solid mounts and same with the engine cradle. We designed the engine and transmission to be pulled out in less than an hour. That mean connectors for the wires and plenty of room to work around the engine/transmission!

- The engine is turbo charged with a brand new Garett turbo that has been sized just right for this engine. There is over $2K in the turbo, silicon and aluminum fittings. No intercooler but room to put one! The stock ECM can not handle boost so the MegaSquirt ECM will need to be hooked up or a new ECM chip will need to be installed to handle the boost. You will need to install heat sheilding around the turbo and exhaust to reduce the heat in the engine compartment. Higher flow rate fuel injectors have been installed as well.

- K&N air filter

- Completely stainless steel exhaust headers and muffler

- The transmission is a manual 5 speed and we are also selling this car with a spare 4 speed manual transmission. There is also an aluminum flywheel with a high torque starter.

- The entire rear suspension has been modified. There is no longer struts but rather a upper a-arm with adjustable QA1 coilovers. We also removed the bump steer that the stock Fiero is known for. This rear suspension also always a faster and more accurate adjustments compared to the old strut setup. It could use a softer spring rate since there has been so much weight taken out of the car. There has also been a rear sway bar installed.

I am sure I am missing a bunch of other changes and items that have been upgraded or installed so if you have any questions just ask. The car does start and run but still needs some more work to call it finished. The reason I am selling the car is because I no longer have a need for it and don't want to see it sitting around while someone else could enjoy it. I am selling the car and the extras as is. The buyer must pickup the car and extras after sale. Only accept CASH in person.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When 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:
