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?
