Not quite. You don't have the CME, or the Koni adjustable suspension. However, judging by how it sits, I think you might have the Bilstein suspension package (It's what mine has, and the rear end sags a bit with it, like that one appears to be doing).

However it sounds like a good deal for the option package and mileage. Mine with basically the same options, 12,000mi and CME was $22.7k.

Nice car, I hope you feel as good behind the wheel as I do mine!

I just read the thread again, so the car had CME but somebody took it off? Seems weird to me, I'd sell the car before I took the CME off.

I did not know these came w/ koni suspensions as an SLP option. It shows the car comes w/ a HD suspension package from the factory and an Auburn package from SLP.

What were all the avalible options from SLP?

Yeah, the CME isnt cheap by anymeans. Im paying big bucks to get the tip, 90 degree bends and the CME Valance back.

I honestly can't even begin to remember them all.

SLP had 2-3 suspension levels. The first was just the typical SS suspension, which I guess is what you have. The middle was the Bilstein suspension, and the best was the Koni adjustable.

SLP offered an Auburn rear end diff as an option. Although it tends to last a bit longer than the stock LS1 rear end, it's still a 10 bolt, and still breaks.

CME is worth every penny, I love mine.

I thought you had the Bilstein

As I said before, the rear end sags a bit on them. I don't mind it too much though.

Your car should have came with an SLP build sheet that lists all of the options. I'll dig through my paperwork and give you a few more though. Here's some pics of mine, same as your's:

^^ Clean *** car Fiero!! I was going to buy a LE before I found my car. The dealer wanted to much money for it. I just couldn't see myself buying it because I would want to mod it right away and I couldn't do that to an LE.

It kills me every day I look at the QTP or Kooks website. I want to mod this car SOOOOO bad. But it's quite fast enough, runs really strong for an LS1, and I just can't bring myself to do it. I quite honestly want to blow the engine, as I can justify an LS7 swap since it is a stock GM engine

Nice LE FieroZ34!! Unfortunatly, my car didnt come with all the cool collectors stuff I was mainly wanting the car and didnt realize how much stuff actually came with these. So over the next few years, I'll be building up on all the memorabilia.

As for why these go for so much up north I couldnt tell ya, I can only guess supply and demand, idk.

Have you thought of lowering it a bit? That's the only thing that I would consider doing to do it. It would look even more amazing!!!

Oh yeah, Might wanna put some water on that grass of yours !!
