Put on almost 500 miles last weekend with the trip to Frazee and back for the Tyler show. The car ran great, got 26 MPG, and didn't give me a lick of trouble the entire time. There isn't too much happening build-wise right now, I'm just enjoying the hell outta the car and doing a few oddsy-endsy things to it. There are plenty of things on the to-do list for this winter though.

I finally got around to installing my deck lid struts ( thanks Blake). I've got the modified hinge mounts and found I needed to add an extra brace to the hinge to stop them from flexing the firewall and skewing the deck lid when shut. Originally I used the SG304046 strut, but with no wing the deck lid was like a catapult. After much Google-ing, I found a 65# rated strut that worked great. I used the Stabilus ball stud kit # SG900001 $3.29 from O'Reilly's and the Stabilus SG 459027 lift strut $18.99 from O'Reilly's. I decided not to use a bracket and mounted the ball stud to the strut tower.

Finally got my 90mm Hella projectors installed. They look pretty sweet and they really light the road from shoulder to shoulder.

Well, the weather is cold and the fuel tank is empty so I have made the decision to call it a season for the Fiero. It was a quick 5 months that included a few car shows, including a trip to Frazee, and a 750 mile round trip to Illinois to pick up a part from Fiero Thomas. Total miles driven: 5200, number of breakdowns: 1 failed crank sensor (two if you count the damn wheel incident). I wanted to go for one last drive tonight but the battery was stone dead from sitting in the cold the last couple weeks, which meant my last drive was me pushing it into the garage. I am planning on pulling the engine apart to clean, paint, and replace anything that looks worn. I also plan on having the throttle body bored out to 70mm and installing an intake plenum spacer which is supposed to improve mid-range torque. The transmission is going to get a new transfer chain and sprockets to change the final drive gear ratio from 3.66 to 3.89, this should give me a little more punch out of the hole and combined with the engine mods hopefully will get my 0-60 times under 6 seconds. There is a dash swap in there somewhere as well and I am hoping to paint too if the money holds out.
Stay tuned.....
