Real Fiero Tech

I didn't want to crap up The Tech Links thread, but I wanted to put this someplace. :thumbleft: ______________ Lots of flanges, piping & pre-cut parts for turbo projects: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/hackertweekerparts.htm http://www.roadraceengineering.com/hoseandclamps.htm Silicone Vacuu...

Yeah, and I'm sure no less than 1,000 people at UPS thought their computer now had a virus. :thumbleft: The guy was pretty mad. He told me I cost them thousands of dollars and servers had to be fixed and some crap. Bullshit. If anything, they just had to go through and disable "net send",...

When asked if upper management had been contacted...

"...they wouldn't speak to us on camera. They said it was not to their benefit."

Well... DUH!

Awesome! :thumbleft: I wondered how far along he had gotten. Haven't heard anything in a couple of weeks. Great people! I was honored, as well, that they chose to stop and visit here. Hugh reminds me of my dad. Not so much physically, but his attitude about stuff. Dad was also just a little more lai...

Does it seem that the 88s are worse? Or does it just seem that way because both of mine have done it, and are 88s? I rebuilt the sender in my coupe, when I did the swap. It used to suck wind at ~1/4 tank, indicated. Showed ~20 ohms empty, and over 100 ohms full. (Should be zero and 90 ohms.) I still...

...When I got to work I re-seated all the vacuum lines to the solenoid. I have not since seen the engine light come on tonight. It would be a good idea to check all of the vacuum line connections. My EGR "check engine" light was caused by a poor fit between the plastic lines and the rubbe...

You do some nice work. :thumbleft:

Soo... You didn't like "The Lizzie Borden Activity Center and Hobby Emporium"? Edit - I didn't remember, until waaay after I posted that, what your last name is. Coincidence? my step sisters name is liz borden OMG! Don't let her anywhere near the place! One of her parents seems to have a ...

Coincidence?

Yup, thats Tyre Danielly You sure that's him? The guy in the article is named "Aaron". (Click on the 1st pic and read the info.) I also thought that Tyre was black. The guy in the photo certainly looks to be lighter skinned. I wouldn't have bothered except that Tyre used to live in Atlant...

I'll say a prayer, as well. BTW... I'm thinking that he might have a bleeding ulcer. Been there, done that. Blood count was down to like... 9, I think. It was low enough that they wanted to transfuse me, but I declined. (Long story.) Does he have reflux or heartburn? Does he take a lot of aspirin or...

I'm amazed nobody has had anything to say about anyone else's accomplishments. Personally, I think starting your own business, swapping a n* into a Fiero, being a rocket scientist, and hauling some majorly huge stuff are some incredible accomplishments. Of course they are. I wouldn't have a clue as...

I did a US Congressman's niece.

We call them pole rats.

I remember hearing that Chevy Celebrities (and probably their clones) used a similar solenoid.
I see more Fieros than I do Celebrities, though.

There was supposedly a minor physical difference, but the electrical connector and the function of the vacuum switch were the same.

That'll mess up your whole day.


I've got some animal pics that are way worse than that. Sometimes you see some bad stuff, being around the power company.
Electricity doesn't give second chances. "Screw up? See ya!"

Hmmm...
I knew about the "comb" holding C500 together (sort of.)
Didn't know the passthrough was designed the same way.

Thanks! :thumbleft:

(The 7730 is looking more promising every day.)

FWIW, I understand that the Caddy EGR valve will be in the way of the TPS on the "IAC" style TB.
I've never even tried to compare it on mine, however.

I'll be really amazed it the Caddy ECM will run with the Chevy TB.

Fierochild, one of our local SCCA racers is running DOHC pistons in his 3.4. Works quite well.

Within the past year? No. But I have in the not too distant past. I did run at Waterford at the 20th. Has to be the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. No question. I've run at Dallas dragway (20 minutes from my front door, but only a 1/8 mile track.) I've done the last two dyno days that Jer...
