Yellowstone I have a quick question for you, but first off I think I've said this before but your car is AMAZING, I'm actually doing pretty much the same thing to my motor as it's winter time over here and it's the perfect time, anyway. I'm looking to order from POR-15 and I just wanted to know the complete list of things that you ordered from them and quanities, That would help me out tonnes so then I would know what to buy instead of being in the dark, because they have so many products.

Yay I own page 3

I got one can each of:
- POR-15 black
- Marine clean
- Metal ready
- and quite a few foam brusshes

Today, I took the Fiero out for its first spin. 10 miles on the Autobahn to seat the piston rings. Revs up great, temp a little higher due to the underdrive pulley, Borla sounds bad-ass!

Got two codes, 24 and 35, but no big deal I think. Anybody any experience with those codes?

Drained the oil and will chnage it this afternoon with new filter.

YEEEEEEHA!!!!!

Those codes are for the VSS and idle speed: https://www.fiero.nl/cgi-bin/main.cgi?ECMCodes

Thanks. I meant: Does anybody have an idea what to check/do short of replacing the IAC and VSS?

Are 2 of those enough to cover both seats ?
Did you get my package already?

I got the package today, delay due to holidays. Thanks! Already repainted with chrome paint...

Both done (minus cats):

Aaaaaaand - new project taking shape...

Wouldn't you agree the Mr. Mikes seats are the most satisfying DIY project for a Fiero you can do for the money?
Looks great.

What was the outcome with the clutch?

Yellowstone, is there some place here in Germany to get this stuff?

Google and you will find: http://www.hoeseler-por15.com/

Thanks for the link.

Installed the new seats and the speakers today. Here are the new and old (circa 1998) Mr. Mikes seats:

Installed pix:

Nice match with the door panels, also Mr. Mikes:

And an "ambient" pic to round it all off...

So any videos to come soon? I want to see that thing in action with the rebuild. I am rebuilding my 2.8 as we speak, how does it feel, run strong?

Do I feel another Autobahn(sp?) blast coming on????????

Just a few pix from today (an excursion into the Netherlands) to bump my build thread :-)

Note the new exhaust pipes (I know the left one is still a little off but I had little time...)

Just browsing through my Fiero pix collection while doing a PC backup.

The 88 GT engine when it came out in January 2005:

And this is the same engine before going back in in November:

Here a before and after of the engine, first in the 88 GT parts car, second pic in my 87 GT:

Things DO get better in life :-)

I had the same problem when I tried to redo my seats with some grey and white fur i had laying around.

After the cat and wife stopped screeching it was easier to convince the wife to spring for Mr. Mikes. J/K.

nice detail work 'stone
seats too.

At it again! Installing the Fiero Store braided EGR tube while trying to plug the exhaust leak at the header joints:


Removing all kinds of stuff:


New EGR tube installed:


Header to Y-pipe joints separated, high-temp sealant applied, re-installed:


Fiero Store EGR tube installed:


Finally done something to the car again!

Nice to see it coming together again. Which sealant did you use on the Y-pipe to manifold connection?

[This message has been edited by Fiero1Fan (edited 06-25-2006).]

Just some stuff I got at ATU (a parts shop in Germany, for the non-Germans). Heat-resistant until 1000 degrees.

Nice work!!!

Yellowstone, the Fierostore EGR braided tube was one of the first mods I did to my Fiero! Someone had actually epoxied the original tube....because it had broken in two! Goodbye erratic idle... Anyways, make sure you re-check the two nuts that hold the egr flange to your egr. ( after 100 miles or so) For some reason mine worked loose after only 100 miles. So, I used some "split" washers to lock them down with.

Also, your module screws look a little rusty. (on the bolt heads anyways) Hope the threads are not in the same shape.
Something as insignificant as this can cost you early module failure..

Hey, I just noticed you put outer lenses over your taillights. You didnt like the look you had before?

Kit (86 GT)

I originally created (or copied, as I saw this someone else's Fiero) the "cut-out and painted" look as I had cracks in my lenses. Then I bought my 88GT parts car which had a good set of lenses and used these. I also bought a rear light panel with 4 round taillights but I liked the stock look better in the end...

Yellowstone you have a PM.

Since the knocking sound that came from the engine when cold was getting on my nerves, the V6 came out again today...





And I delved right in:

At it again?

Since you wanna keep opening it up.

Add some go faster parts .

Good Luck
