Hi Everyone,
My name is Kevin Sibley. I live just outside Truro, Nova Scotia. I have loved the Fiero since 1984 when a fellow grad student bought one of the first ones in Canada. But like many people of the day, I thought it should be a performance car, not a commuter car. I swore SOMEDAY that I would own a Fiero with a SBC V8 in it. After a long career as a University Professor and raising four children and putting them through University, I took the plunge in the summer of 2014 and bought my Fiero. A good friend was downsizing his fleet of performance cars and offered it me before going to the open market. I jumped at the chance and made a deal with him. It is a black 1984 2M4 notchback that has been highly customized. Too many mods to list here so I'll just put the main ones that make it and awesome Fiero: Built 355 SBC V8 engine, approx. 350Hp.; Ferarri F355 nose; Custom front hood vent and laminar flow aero tunnel, Aero side skirts; Custom rear facing air induction scoop in the engine bay deck lid; Custom rear strut tower brace; the list goes on.

It is a beast to manhandle around our local 11 turn road race track, but sooooo much fun it is incredible! I especially like blowing by 991s, 944s, M3s, C63 AMG, Boss 302s, Camaro 1LE, etc. who's owners are also members of the Maritime High Performance Driving club that I belong to. Likely due more to my driving skills honed from five years of racing experience, than to the Fiero itself. But I don't care...I get a big smile on every time! And the other drivers enjoy it as well. We are all just happy to be able to be on the race track having oodles of fun.
If I can provide any forum members with some useful info, I will be pleased to do that. I am also looking forward to reading through the many member posts to see what is happening in the Fiero community. My next two projects for my Fiero are to redesign and upgrade the engine cooling system (track driving generates lots of heat!) and do major brake, suspension and handling upgrades.
Glad to meet you,
Kevin.
