Well I picked up my GT back in September but wasn't in a possion to do any work with it other than some tinkering. I rebuilt the rocker panels on a buddies 1999 Grand Vitara and in exchange he gave me the Fiero It needs a new tranny but things that have been done to it this past year and a half were clutch system from pedals to tranny, tranny was fixed once then replaced (now broke again), new tires in June, new TB Sensor, brakes (rotors and pads), new vaccume lines, newer muffler and will have new exaust tips. There is some other stuff that I can't think of at the moment It has 149,000 kms and runs great. I have a subtle side scoop mod I want to make but for the most part it will remain stock until my Trans Am gets rebuilt I have always wanted a Fiero and Trans Am so now I have both I thought of the name for the car yesterday I went with that because I tell people how I look forward to "bombing" around in the car this summer and it seemed fitting for me heres a few pics:

So yesterday I removed the passanger headlight assembly, grabbed my dickman repair kit, and carefully took it all apart I only took a few picks because there are pics all over the web on these things but this is what I discovered apon first glance the gear looks in mint shape
but on closer inspection the gear is toast because of a flat spot
I cleaned everything up, greased the gears, and put it all back together, but I think I need to address the limit swithches...I don't think they are moving properly. With it back in the car, and the car not running, It developed a twitch when turned off. I could hear the limmit swithches cutting in and out. With the car running, this problem doesn't exist...it's as if the extra juice from the car running makes it work properly! |

I'd like that. I collect engine/exhaust notes for my iPod. Don't have a Fiero yet though, would be nice to add to the collection!

Well, it's time to get one. Maybe we should do a recording session one of these days after a club meeting. |

That would be fun. Or even during a run. Flat out sound flying by the mic would be great. Or off the line going through the gears hard.
Ya baby! The Dawg |

Well I changed the oil preassure sensor switch, changed the battery, and took it out again for a spin. I also went down and picked up a trip permit for it and I have burned almost half a tank of gas in it!! Is it ever fun to drive!! I think I have all (knock on wood) gremlins worked out of it but won't know for sure until I get some kms put on it!! |
