Anyone up for cruising Friday or Saturday night down US31 from greenwood to downtown? Last night there was over 150 cars at the steak n' shake on US31 & Stop 11 at 1am lol. Most people start coming out around 9pm, so if anyone is up for it i'll be out.

If im not busy ill see if i can stop in about 9 this coming friday. Everyone normally just sit in the lot or is everyone in there to eat ( milkshake sounds good ) ?

Is there a destination downtown, or is it just a drive-by?

This also assumes my car is ok, seems i knocked a wheel bearing loose on the curves yesterday.. i can hear the rotor rubbing the dust shield and a bit of a rear-end wobble on stopping... I plan on replacing it in the morning but you never know. Grrrr if it isnt one thing its another ! Someday i need to put in that cradle i got from you last year too, ive been pushing my luck with it.

I hang out in the Colorado Steak House lot, not many people eat there. We mostly hang out and talk about cars then get a nice size groupe together and make a lap, cruise downtown and around the circle then back up. Then some people also setup races, but racing on US31 is plain retarted. Way to many cops. Saturday night there was a highly modded 3800SC fiero up there, quick as hell! Pretty much everyone that hangs out there is on Indycarz.com. Hope to see you guys up there!

I got a couple of shots, I also got a number of gas stations marked out for us for people who might need them.

Looks like the entire cruise route is about 100 miles, so if you have a full tank when you start, you should be able to make it. Should be about 2.5 hours or so (not counting any stops that people might have to make), the bit that Nurb was along for was actually more like 2/3s of the run

There are 2 stoplights in Nashville that may try to split us up (The first one not so much as the second), but if it's bad after nashville there is a spot to stop and wait for the rear guard about 2 miles up after the last one, and the shoulders are wide for waiting on in most places.

Another stoplight at 446 and 46, but the shoulder on 446 there is nice and wide.

446 and 50 is a stop sign, but again since these are highways the shoulders are wide, and on a Saturday afternoon, hopefully traffic isn't too bad.

Brownstown has 1 stoplight, and then Seymour is a mess of lights, but 50 is 2 lanes each direction in Seymour, so the people that end up ahead can just drive slow in the right lane and bug the rest of traffic

Interesting...I went to valonia on Friday to pick up my S10 (and a bed of misc. Fiero parts ) They had the light by the courthouse and a new one at the 4-way turning from east-west to north-south (south goes to county fairground). If Seynour is the ending, getting seperated is minor, almost everything in town is on 50.Any votes between tumbleweeds, applebee's, chili's and Ryans?

If Columbus would be the finish, I vote Buffalo Wild Wings!

I might have the GT driveable for long distance by then

Ryan's might be a good choice actually. Something to suit most tastes, reasonably priced and has lots of seating.

i second that. Its got plenty of choices for everyone.

It also would be a place i can take my kid, if he decides to tag along again.

Ryan's does have choices and on a Saturday afternoon, I would guess the back parking lot would be empty.

empty lot = donuts

Anyone up for crusin on the south side tonight? I'm heading up to steak n shake at stop 11 and US31 around 9pm. Come if you can!

Picture post!
Tony decided to come along:


Coming up on the lake Monroe bridge:


The lake itself


That's towards the end of 446, right in the middle of the really fun part

I was thinking it would be neat for the lead car to get about a mile ahead of the rest of everyone and see if couldn't get a shot with a line of Fieros on the bridge

God I miss that route

Well, I would like to be there but I have a lot of work ahead of me. Just got a ride and it needs some TLC. Two months. I can do it.

You can do it! The real cruise is June 2nd, I drove it that day so I could mark down places like gas stations and stuff.

It's like a 2 and a half hour drive all together, so not too bad

Too bad it wasnt this afternoon, the weather around here was PERFECT


On a somewhat realated topic, is anyone else going to Ed's next month? Perhaps a caravan of hoosiers is in order.

I would be interested in Ed's except, I won't be home. Travel and more travel. I agree today was perfect.

Brian

Ed's? Care to elaborate?

Ed Parks, of "the fiero factory". The annual swap meet is the last weekend of april.

Uuh, oh yeah. I was discussing it with a friend of mine.

Check it out

Hey the hit counter was only 79 a little while ago. It's alive!

edit: Totally OT, but on the white GT in the pictures, anyone know where those sail panel/scoops came from?

lol, it's getting warmer out now. We should try and meet up there again. I seached the forum and couldn't find any pics of your Fiero. Trying to find some pics to add them to the site.

There are a couple of thumbnails on photobucket: http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o62/User00013170/ but ill work on taking some more now that its HOT out ( warm to me is 50 ). Gonna have to charge the AC back up this week it looks like. And get the compressor reinstalled back into the blue GT. What happened to spring????

Just so people don't forget to mark their calendars. June 2nd is still the target day, and as the weather gets nicer and nicer, I appreciate my little 2-seater more and more

I think I mentioned it before, but with 2 cars it basically takes 2 and a half hours. I'll plan things for 3 in case of fuel/restroom stops, etc. With Daylight Stupid Time in effect, it should stay light until pretty late. I was thinking of trying to meet up at 2 pm at the West Hill JayC parking lot with a final departure time (for folks running behind like me) of around 2:30.

That should put us back in Seymour by 5 or 5:30 easy for an early-ish dinner at the Ryan's there. Since it's a buffet, it should have something to suit most tastes, and 5/5:30 time frame should be early enough for a big group to get seated easily.

If everyone could do me a favor and PM me that you're coming with cell phone info (just in case) that I can get a list of who to expect and a way to get in touch in case we get separated on the cruise or anyone gets lost.

Also, anyone with Family Band radios are encouraged to bring them along, I will have 2. If we can have those interspersed, it will give us a really easy way to talk back and forth.

Well, it isn't looking good for me to make it but I will talk to xsrage and see if I can hitch a ride if he wants to go (I am sure he will). Tried to get my new purchase to start and it appears there may be a rod through the pan or block. Added a quart of oil hoping the knock the guy heard was just a lifter tapping or something. WRONG. It turned over fine but the fuel pump didn't start. We thought we would come back and bypass the relay or change the pump and try again. No. xs' went back and sent me an email asking how much oil I spilled when topping it off. "Uh, none?" I responded. Well there
is a big puddle under the car. So...................I am looking for all the stuff to do an L67. I probably won't be done in time. Let me know if any of you guys have any info or insight. I am doing a lot of research but some input is always good. When I get started, if any want to come and hang out, there will be probably be a beer for you or root beer.

June 22nd...that may be enough time for me to have one to loan out. T-top se, 87 GT, V8 2m4, 84 2m4. Which one should I work on first?

Where are you at in IN? Once I get a little farther with my house, I may have some free time to help out if you need it. Plus, I'm not going to be too particular, if anyone wants to come and doesn't have a Fiero to drive, it's OK, I don't care.

June 22nd is the rain date, because I mean, who wants to have a cruise in the rain?

Get that fargin' 2m8 done icehole! Then the GT or vice versa. Yours are a lot closer than mine.

Oh and he lives in New Castle too.

That's my car, thanks. The scoops are the ones that come with the ZR-2 Kit:

When I got the car, the inside part was unfinished fiberglass and could be seen from the inside over the engine grilles. I finished the insides of them when I was doing the Camaro dash install on the car.

Edit to say that unfortunately I will be working both the weekends that are planned so you all try have a great time without me, OK?

June 2nd. Hmmm. It is more of a funding issue then anything. I think I can get two road worthy by then. If not The t-top car just needs some front end work and it will be good to go. Anyone want an 84 four speed, or a 94 cutlass convertible?!

Coming up soon. 3 1/2 weeks. Seems like a long way off, but really close in actuality, considering I posted this originally in February

On a fun note, my Fiero is getting new rubber installed this Thursday. 225/50/15 Falken 512 Ziex. Mmmm....fresh meats...

Nice tire for the price, $59 each for that size.

2 week bump.

I hate "bunps". The one dis-advantage of 17" rims. That one might have A/C by then The GT is gonig around town but, still needs work. Discovered the other night one reason the radio don't wwork in it....it isn't commected and some idiot cut the wires and tried electrical taping them together!!! Looks like the coupe will be driven on June 2.

Brian

i will try to make it to the cruise if my black betty is running (if you dont mind no paint and fixer up)

i will also be going to some of the indyfiero get togethers this summer to.
