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.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
