Feb 13th Meeting Pics and wrap up

Romeo wrote: This is going to have to be a short post, as I'm really, really not feeling well at all right now: The club started out very casual. Discussing each others cars, birthdays, and youthful stubbornness. Some members took to harping on other's mispronunciation of the word "Fiero". These members know who they are and should feel shame. Tonight's meeting was based largely around planning out the year, such as camping, Arlington, MOPAC (Dyno), Whistler and other events, including the option to maybe have a movie night as a club, and watch archaic car movies. Also discussed was Air-Care, most notably being the fact the results appeared to sway drastically with Patrick's Fiero based upon ignition timing, although it was possibly simply the tester's error. The last thing, which was what was being discussed as I left, was my clutch (And to a lesser degree, clutches in general). When I left, they were making note of the fact that something must be wrong in order for the pressure to have dropped off. At that point however, I couldn't stay any longer, and had to leave. Patrick or David might be able to shed some more light on what happened in my absence.

Lets see after Tristen (Romeo) left, we talked a bit about your wrecking yard trip, then go back to clutch pedal stuff and in what cases an adjustable push rod on the master cylinder would be useful.  Also found out that getting new Master Cylinders is nearly impossible at the moment, Lordco and Napa are apparently completely sold out and are listed as NLA  (No Longer Available)  which means they may never get more in.   So if you have an old master SAVE IT, especially if you have the screw on lid vs the 3 tab twist lid.  

        John suggested we get 10 people to order the new Fiero Store clutch pedals and do a clutch pedal install day.  He says he can do a pedal swap in 20 mins.  I personally thought it was a multi hour job at best.  

             Oh and we had a long discussion about cruise control diagnostics.  John has a special tool that plugs into the cruise brain and can aid in finding out why a cruise system is not working.   So that was another suggestion for a tech day.  

     We did do a rough schedule for the 2010 events, I'll try and work on that tomorrow and get it posted.

I believe it was shortly after Tristan's sudden departure (I hope you're okay buddy) that several of Ricky's waitresses entered the banquet room, pulled the shades, dimmed the lights, and proceeded to lap dance their way into our hearts. Oh damn, I wasn't supposed to say anything...

Ummm, nothing much happened after you left, Tristan.
