Dudewoaf
wheres the leak... ? we have a fix your fiero party this Sat at the shop exit 167 then call to drive in... 10-4:00pm SAT April 14, 2007 lots of fiero world...

it is a big leak not sure where it is coming from. a quart goes quick. it wouldn't make it up there without 9 quarts. i think it might have a cracked head because it doesn't leak very much when cold but warm it is a stream of oil

well if its only a cracked head thaen i might be able to fix it quick. bepends on the machine shop and how quick they can get to it. if i don't get it fixed i will be coming to the show with the other car, but not entering the show

I'm the 407 lady and I'm coming down in the 86 Silver Ballerina. Getting new shocks and struts and the AC fixed this week. I won't be show quality, but I'll be there. I am going to have to have some Mr. Mike seats in grey. Can I contact him and ask him to bring them and pay for them there. What tools do I need to bring to install them while I'm there? Do I have to take the seats out? I love my Fiero!

Welcome. It wont matter if your show quality. A lot of us are not "Show" quality.
Have you already ordered your seats? If not, Mr. Mike may not have time to make them prior to the show. If so i'm sure he would bring them and let you pay there but contact Mr. Mike http://www.mrmikes.com/ and ask. Mr. Mikes seats come with an instruction video (dvd or vhs) that goes through the process step by step. I would wait to install them at home. It is not a hard job but it is a time consuming one. It took me about 6 hrs to install mine. Once you watch the video and do the first seat the second one is easy. Yes the seats will have to come out of the car. You are going to need a 13mm socket, a t-50 torx head, a diagonal cutter or pair of pliers and a razor blade.
See you there

Well, I understand 13mm socket, pliers and razor blade. Remember, I'm blonde and God made me that way for a reason, (hahahaha) so if you are coming, could you bring a t-50 torx head and a diagonal cutter (Is that like a left handed wing spanner. grin, wink ) so I can see what I need to buy to do this?

I recently installed a set of MrMikes seats. Very easy process. The kit comes with VHS tape with detailed instructions, hog rings & hog ring installation tool, razor blades.

See this path for post where I installed my seats. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/063469.html

I carry tools with me everywhere because I own a "FIERO" LOL I will be happy to bring those tools with me so you know what they are. I will be in the only Red GT Fiero with a Bra on the front. At least think I am the only one? In case I am not, just find the one with flames painted on the engine valve covers and introduce yourself.

------------------

My best advice when it comes to your Fiero is to "NOT" do any dealings with www.kitcarman.com

Yeah, I dont think I can make the show with my Fiero, the other day I was working with the T-Stat (wanted to fix the overheating problem), long story short, I broke both blots on the block when removing my T-Stat housing and my housing is a rusty pos, so I cant reuse.
And I still havent registered the car as I thought I would by now....
Anyway Ill try to swing by, but it wont be with the Fireo, atleast not this year.

thanks to everyone who helped Dave and i in attacking the job with a little more knowledge than the last time i did it... Dave has made the show a good focus for the spring-thing here in FL and he also has single-handedly donated the trophys...Thanks -Dave....you get First chance at our windmill appreciation session.....

See you guys & gals on Sunday. Looking forward to enjoying a great day & show.

We should have the most of the same type of car. Usually it's the T-Bird's or the Corvettes.

For those thinking about coming that haven't posted yet, come on, the more the better. Gates open 8 am.

Were planing to park all the Fiero's together to get the best exposure.

See you then.

Paul :
I want to select an area where we can fit 20 to 25 Fiero's. Take a look near the water or near the tennis courts. We will stake out an area that will work us. I'm planning to bring a cooler loaded with bottled water so our guys don't need to purchase it.

See everyone there
Have a Nice Day

Hi Gary

For the Fiero's that we are judging , no you do not need to have one visible. What we are doing this year is having a show with-in a show. (it's a fiero, wouldn't you want to have one anyway ? lol ) jk

That being said, If you paid the full price & have the judges from the regular show judge, then yes.

I contacted the local newspaper reporter, the one that did the story on my car a few years ago. Hoping he comes out and does a story on the show & our Fiero's

For those needing to wash there cars, there is a coin self car wash as you come into town.

http://www.google.com/maps?...pn=0.017293,0.028925

The one listed as " D " is one block from the show.

From 75, take Route 17 (which is Marion Ave) into town.

"Save The Fiero Sports Car Club" Will be keeping a phone list for reminders of up comming events in our local area...Sign up Free introductary offer for the year...providing you Chip in for the Pizza and Beer,,,!
Sat eve at 5;00PM, we will meet at the Park and help Dave set up for the Show ; then take a spinn around the Tri-County area back Before sunrise for the Show.....I hope i got my times rite,,,?

The razor blades are included
Along with the hog-ring pliers, hog-rings, foam pads, spray glue, cotton wadding, Lexol leather conditioner, video instructions, and care & cleaning instructions.
As reported: It’s not hard but time consuming.
This is not something you want to do at a show.
(trust me I know, I’ve done it in the past)
Doing a leather install at a show will not allow you to walk around, talk to people, or have fun in general.
I intend to walk around, talk to people, and have fun in general.
See you there,
MrMike

Thank-You Mr Mike...
I just got back from the Fiero-Fanticy Drive....Dave went rite out the back door...What happened.......well when we got to Arcadia I noticed 6 or 7 Honda-Kids at a gas station and we had 5 cars so they walked over and shooked our havds then asked how to get to Desoto-Race track... so I said sure follow me...He-He-He.....so now we had a total of 10 cars... they didgood and got the hang of it... we got to Hwy ^4 they gave us the Thums-up and we went the other way . Grat country and a prittyu sun set if you happened to take your eyes off the Hair pin-Turns,,,,ithink we did 85 miles @ 80+ so we did it in less than an hour....?(just kidding) Tomorrow is the show and hope to see yas... ill dust the car off on the field(good-enough)

Hi, yes, we have a spot for you. I checked the show flyer, their registration ends at 11:30 , you might want to leave at 6:30 - 7 am if you can. After that time, I guess they would still let you in.

I looked at the GPS, it shows from the center of Deltona to here is 3:40 hours and 266 miles. Drive safe & have a happy trip..

Final e-mail reminders have been sent out. Hope you all have a save & enjoyable drive.

See ya in a few hours. Good night.

I'm all packed & ready for that two block drive !!

Fiero's ruled today at this show!! Great turn out. Hope everyone made it home safe.
Now how about some more pic's
