There are alot of us that have this page open most the day and help out when we can. With all the stuff that I sew my little office with my machines have my computers, embroidery machines and sewing machines all in one space so I am up 90% of the time and my blackberry is always connected as well. Its kind of an addiction. But somebody is always here to help anybody out. We are all like a happy family here with different mothers and fathers. I offer on my site all the downloads that you can think of as well to get you going as well. Check it out at www.fieronews.net and I have it all up to service manuals ect ect.
Take care and good luck with your car.

There are too many people to mention. Almost everyone here is cool in my book. There is someone who know about every tiny piece on these cars.
The Orge helped me with his, "How to tighten a steering column" page back when I was getting mine road worthy again. I couldn't find that info anywhere.
LAMBO is a great guy who recently offered me his shop and time to change my fuel pump. It goes beyond just answering questions in central Iowa. I believe that tstroud, and Erik would do the same for me if it became necessary. They all my friends that I would have never met if not for this forum.
I have to thank the Minnesota Fiero crew, Kev in particular for showing me around at a MAll of America meet in '03 or '04. He probably doesn't even remember doing it but it gave me the motivation and the "why not" to step beyond what I thought I could do mechanically to a car.

I have found, that if you treat people with respect, MOST will respond accordingly. This holds true in my day to day activities. But, this forum has a very special way of attending to it's users needs. A real gem, that I believe has actually helped to spread the disease called, Fiero.
I always try to acknowledge those that are the real backbone of the Technical section. The amount of knowledge that frequents that area, is irreplaceable. Thanks to you all, we are able to drive, and enjoy our twenty plus year old cars.

Well said. Two members specifically that have helped me deserve mention.. phonedawgz and Bloozberry. Especially with my most recent problem. I would have been lost without their patience and guidance.

Phonedawgz, and Bloozberry... definately two of the best.
I wish I knew just a fraction of what these guys know. They have helped on numerous occations. Even as a newbie asking the simple stuff that should have been found with a search they still helped me instead of flaming me for not searching like I should have. This is my 1st fiero. Always loved the way they looked and this past year I wanted a project car so I started searching. I was originally looking for a vette (always wanted one of those) but after not being able to find something in my price range I ran across a fiero. My daughter owns that fiero now and I have since bought myself an 86GT. She was a real basket case to start with but through the help of this forum shes coming along pretty good.
X2 on the too many people to thank and too many questions (and I should know some of the answers as this is my 3rd fiero) It now runs,drives stops and so far very reliably. This community is invaluable period! I do have to give a special shout out to phonedawgs, the ogre and boozberry as they have helped me out the most often and always treat me with respect even when asking dumb questions....... Thanks to all!

People in this forum have answered many a technical question over the years. And I return the favor whenever possible. I also "buy Cliff a beer" every month, to express my gratitude.
