Get rid of those Plus 4 sparkplugs. Our ignition systems don't like them and they will foul up real quickly. Get some plain AC Delcos, they will work much better.

Thanks for the advice but I have had theses spark plugs in all of my fieros. In both of my 88 and in my 86 and they do a good job.

Well I am not going to be able to get the steering wheel. If any one has a nice racing wheel for sell under 100 dollars Pm me. I hate how big the stock wheel is.
Also I want to think Rodney Dickman he had a problem and called me and he was able to fix it. So what I bought from him will be here some time soon.

I second the 'getting rid of' Bosch Platinumns in any flavor. May seem to run ok with them, bet it runs better with stock A/C Delcos or plain NGK plugs.

I had thes in my 84, a 4cy, but none the less; i did a little test, puled one plug to see which was better, the AC Delcos or the Bosch's. the Bosch's would spark on more than one of the "prongs" and would be a dimmer smaller spark, where the AC Delco's had on solid bright spark. I was doing this and fouled up some cheapo frams in less than 20 miles, and put the ac delco's in, and had some bosch's i figured i see which had the best spark.

Stuff planning on getting on Thursday.
1. headliner board.
2. headliner
3. head light motors
4. Heater core
5. gas cap door. Old one fell off. LOL
6. a new oil pan.
7. front fender for the 88 coupe


Working on the car on sunday.
What I am going to be doing it put the pulley kit on.
Heater core in.
I might be putting the head liner on. I am not sure yet.
I am going to try to put the head light wiring harness in and the motors. I am planning on getting flush mounts but I am getting all this stuff for free.

I will have photos of me getting the stuff and putting the stuff on the car.
If you have any hints on putting a heater core into a fiero that is not in the Haynes manual please tell me. All help is good.

So sunday I am going to be putting most of the stuff in the car. Tonight I get a pay check. It is not going to be big paycheck so I thinking I am going to go buy some new seat covers from pepboys or somthing that will look good in the car. Since I hate the seats that are in there. I am not sure if I have a photo of the seats but I will take some pics of before and after.

we tried those vs acdelco on girlfriends 2.8 camaro... acdelcos were better.

Hey, I see the headliner board. Try Headlinere Enterprises, Jesse Cone. He is partners in a mobile onsite service. He came out and did my 87 and it was only about $130.00 They do headliners, carpet, dashes, vinyl and leather repair, restorations, and odor elimination. The office number is 770-382-5793 and his cell is 678-986-6206

Scott, I have a flexible drive about 10 inches long that I use on a power driver. You're welcome to use it. Works wonders for getting the top screws out of the enclosure. Actually, changing out the core isn't hard if you remove the right speaker.

Build threads are the greatest, take your time, one step then another, when you look back, it was the road that you
traveled (the journey) not the destination that was worth it all.

Enjoy these times, for they will never come again. Building you car is worth the time and sweat.

Good luck on the build, and make sure that you post the pictures here for us to see

Good luck on the build


Robert

Also. I put in the Window thing from Rodney that makes the windows come down when the car is not on. If you don’t have one this is one of the best 8 dollars you will spend in your life.

Also I want to say how good the pulley kit works. I am so happy that I spent the money and put it on. If you are having charging problems or even if you car is squealing get this. It takes about 10 min to put on and it is worth it.

That is all for now. I will have some new photos of stuff that I have not told you about some time in the next few days.

I might have a set of GT wheels.

I saw a fiero diving down the street today so I went after it. The guy and I started to talk and he told me he is putting some new rim on his fiero. He has the GT wheels on there and he told me that I can have them. But get this. The price he is selling it to me is…….FREE!!!!

I told them about the Gafiero club and fiero.nl

Great deal on the wheels!
If he comes through with them are you gonna refinish them or are they in pretty good shape?

Wish I could get my butt in gear on my car, seems to be moving at a snails pace, was hoping to drive up to the club meeting this month but right now the whole front suspension is out, haven't started on the rear yet.
Hope to check yours out in person soon!
Keep up the pace.

The wheels are ok. They could be better. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet. I might refinish them and sell it or keep it. Not sure yet.
