Steering stops still hit the A arm so I don't know why the person posted a problem with that. I found the issue listed with the longer end links needed. I have a set of Rodney's zero lash so I assume that was a waste of money. Actually will be pulling my stuff back apart before long as I didn't install the new bushings. I wanted to be able to get a review for Rodney completed this weekend, so maybe you guys didn't miss all the fun. I found one of the brake pad clips broke so new pads again will be installed.
I have been working in the cold also on the Pacifica but inside the shop. Fiero is out side and I am leaving it as is until it's in the 40 at least and some son shining on me.
Small trick. I put those hand warmers in my hat over my ears. 2 pair of socks. Wear thermal underwear. Wear a flannel undershirt. Over your clothes, wear insulated coveralls. Zip and button. Wear the tight black waterproof gloves. I don't have a name for the gloves. They're not latex, but are almost like innertube rubber. I used to work in that at 25 below (minus the hand warmers), but I had hair then.

Well, the thin layers allow movement. If it was heavy clothing, no. You saw me in most of that outfit a while back at your shop. I didn't use the warmers, the gloves, or the socks.
installed new injectors and the stainless steel vacuum lines from Drew ( one was a duplicate) only to fine on tear down that the egr tube flange was split in two pieces..ordered a new one from Rodney
yeaaaaaa really like the stainless steel lines..when i took off the egr tube and saw that it was broke my heart sank,,want this poorvette on the road..
Well it is much better shape that my nochie was except the nochie has a new Jasper engine.. I'm going to pull the engine. Needs cradle bushing. I'm also going to install new motor mounts and clean the engine up. I'll most likely wait 'til fall to paint it. Have you made any changes to yours?

End links and bushings. I'm working on the headlight motors. Someone painted them, wires and all with a greasy paint. I've been cleaning the heater box and working on the interior. I need to pull the hood to treat a few parts in the front. I fixed the arrow trim. All simple stuff. Still haven't gotten around to treating the trunk. It's fine, but I'd like to keep it that way. I'm working on upgrading the booster. I replaced all the interior lighting.
Lorne, sorry, can't go there. I planned to work on my Fiero after my kids do their project. Can't work on the Fiero and get over there. No brakes in my Fiero, anyway.
i was with in 10 min from firing it up before i had to leave for work,,had to put distributor cap back on but one of the vacuum lines was in the way so ill just have to wait till later on today
Well, this weekend I have to diagnose my crazy oil pressure gauge on ye old '88... doesn't look like it will be too hard. So happy to have decent weather.

That's been on CL for a while. It'd be nice to see if someone buys it.
Where has FieroVirgin gone? Haven't heard from him in about a year.
Lorne, what is on the program, this weekend? I got my brakes back in, but now have the lights and interior out. Not looking good. 2nd year I've taken the interior apart, and haven't gotten to the headliner, seats, or carpet. I'm going to attempt to rebuild my headlight motors.
Burning some front suspension bushings and rebuilding the Pacifica engine if all the parts arrive. If they don't come in I have plenty of other Fiero stuff I bought.
I have a small oil leak on my notchback. I can't tell if it's the oil pan gasket or the rear main seal. This all started when I installed synthetic oil (Mobil 1). I'm going to pull the engine and replace both then go back to conventional oil
Alright gents im at wits end on this.. Its the number 5 cyl.that has the miss,,new plugs ,plug wires , cap,rotor, compression check, injectors,egr and egr tube,..put in stainless steel vacuum lines..came off the hwy one evening after work and it was missing..now seems to be only missing at idle and low rpm..could this be an exhaust gasket leak???
