Got my car back from the garage - found out that it failed the test on service brakes and handbrake, but not by much, so I guess I'll have to spend my weekend trying to sort it out before it goes back in for a re-test next week...

Drove it 220 miles to see how it would handle after some exhaust things had been changed. Still needs some work. (and I need a dang hair cut)
But it is FUN to drive...even in 101 degree temps.

I finished taking off the wheels/tires for thorough cleaning and power washed the wheel wells and suspension components to get rid of a couple years of built up crud, then greased the balljoints. Then the rains came and came and put a damper on the rest of things planned.

Still need some polishing, vacuuming the inside. I then have to move the GPS system into the car and make sure I have the emergency tools, coil, ignition module etc get packed away.

On my first ride home my fiero broke , the cradle had some rust on it so when I took the first turn the part where the A-Arm meets the cradle broke on both sides, which was my steering issue. Got the new cradle in, hope to have it finished tonight!

Spending too much time reading Forum. Yesterday I worked on the console, wired up the power mirrors, and started new work on the door panel.

New seats for Anni (86 GT). Picked them up at the u-pick for $50.

New hoops for Rose T (87 T-top coupe). I bought 2 and the dealer bought 2. The last set I got from them started distorting so they pick up the cost of the two worst ones.

Dropped my car off for a re-test - last night, about 10pm I finally worked out that the external part of the handbrake cable (where it goes the equaliser/adjuster) was damaged, with the result that it stuck a) going on, so didn't go fully on, and b) coming off, so didn't come fully off. Hopefully the tester will give me an "advisory" rather than a "fail" for it.

Have just ordered a replacement, along with a set of front brake pads... more fun for this weekend.

I finally finished the V5 A/C compressor conversion on my V6. Now my A/C puts a constant load on the engine, so the idle doesn't bounce up and down. With the HR6 compressor (which is stock on the 2.8 V6), the clutch constantly cycles on and off, causing the engine idle to bounce up and down like a metronome.

The conversion is pretty straightforward. If anybody is interested in the details, let me know.

Started it up for the first time in at least a month... Vacation, work and time spent out of town has not lent itself to enjoying the Fiero... But it sure did sound good idling.

Yes. Extremely interested. Knowing what was done in advance would cut the down-time a lot.

Took Indy #2 up to the local Sonic-/juvenile delinquent hangout for ice cream tonite. We sat at a table under their awning, ate our banana splits, and watched all the local heathens "ooh and aah" over the 1st pace car they had ever seen. Wife gave me a knowing/dirty look when a young girl asked if she could sit in it. Not much to do in this sawmill town.

Made some early morning parts runs and built up two axles for my 4.0 swap. Also, went to the 25'th show and posted a bunch of pics. Then made another parts run, cleaned the axles and put one in to verify fit. Also worked on finishing the door panel (It's not fitting).

I installed the wing on the 88 Formula. This is not the original wing. The original has a stand that the mounting screws are stripped and the stand is loose on the wing. This wing is off an 86 GT. Learned something new today. The mounting bolts are spread wider on the GT stands vs the Formula stands. The narrow screw boss is on the GT stands so I had to move the mounting screw/bolt. I think it is due to the configuration of the GT decklid vs the Notchie deck lid.

Without the wing


With the wing

I replaced my dead O2 sensor.





I even had time to fix the broken wires on my cruise control - not that it actually made it work, but I suppose it's one less thing to sort out!

I DROVE IT!!! First time in 5 years!!! My wife and I have 3 places we call home because of the nature of our work. We are rarely around the house with the projects Well after a few very short trips down our driveway and back (its about 100 yards long) a few of my friends and I sorted out a few bugs and I took it out for a nice long cruise! Still have a few minor adjustments to work out, and it will be my daily driver again.

For those of you who don't know this car was originally a 88 bas coupe auto, then an LT-1 getrag, then an overdrive auto older tpi 350, (added my first nitrous kit ever to that set up. hence the next approach). Removed all that and sold it to a member from up north in the states. Bough a bad (sold to me as good) 88 2.5 while planning to return to stock.

THen got a great deal on a complete swap from an 88 gt from another member/ friend and several months later...ta-da! A cruise around town!!!

The last 2+ weeks have been nothing but work on the race car.

Accusump and remote filter installed. Final details for the Northstar. New transmission. New driver's harness. New Wilwood brakes and EBC Rotors. New front wheel bearings and seals. The list goes on and on and on. I'll try to post some pics when we get back from SORC. Hopefully the car will be running well for it.
