I uncovered it and hid all the family Christmas presents in the trunk and covered it back up. Hehehe.....Santa will never know. Unless he reads the Forum. Damn! Now I'll have to think of another place.
It must be getting to be Christmas. I've never owned a page before. Wow, thanks!

Washed and waxed hiding under their car covers for another 5-6 months. Was the coldest and latest I've ever waited to clean my cars up and store them, I won't be making this mistake next year. Was not a pleasant time washing them in 40* weather.
• I replaced the CV axle. and cleaned up the flinging grease!! • Since I had one of the rotors off, I decided to take all of them off and get them slightly turned.... What a difference.. So smooth • Checked all the fluids, bled the brakes, torqued the suspension all down. • Got the two hardest springs connected onto the muffler from the frame
and the best part
• Cruised to Laguna Beach with the tops down.... Have I ever told you that I LOVE THIS RIDE!! What a beautiful sunset too....
Now it's time to do the canyon run by GMR in the Socal mountains____ eating some imports up!
I'll tell you one thing. 1 1/2" drop with HT Motorsport suspension and brakes, Poly bushings gives one hell of a good ride. Very surprisingly because of the lowering, very smooth ride... NO rubbing either.
Pounded on my window until the ice broke up enough to open the door. Heavy rain last night followed by the first sticking snow today.... no good. And tomorrow I get to go buy new tires for the winter! Oh joy. :P

I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. That's prime IFixedIt.com material right there.
I'll be bleeding the brakes on my GT today. Hopefully to get it back on the road after being down for a week.

I pushed it into a parking lot when it died on me.
So, the question is now, "What will I be doing to my Fiero tomorrow?" Fortunately, I already know the answer. I'll be securing the cold start injector to keep it from popping out ever again. I'll have to be sure to add some threadlock this time!

I thought the bolt came out that holds the cold start injector into the intake manifold as pushing it back in allowed me to get home last night. Come to find out, it had unscrewed itself off of the feed pipe. As that appears to be physically impossible, I must have installed it in a virtually unscrewed position. Well it's screwed on now! That's what I did to my Fiero today.
Got another step closer to finishing my 3.4 swap. The belt pulleys and alternator are now on, the vaccume lines are (hopefully) in place and the fuel injector wires are plugged in. Now if only the guy I bought the project from had labeled which plug was from what cylinder, we wouldn't be guessing which plug goes to which injector. Oh the fun I see coming from that....

If you lay the harness out flat, the plugs should kind of "fall into place" in the direction of the correct injector. The plugs connect into the injector with the wire spring pointed upward.
If nothing else, you might be able to ohm out the connectors. Since it's "batch fire", all of the front injectors will fire at the same time, then all of the rear injectors.
been tooling and trying to mock fit everything to figure how to run the exhaust before i get everything painted on the L32 swap. been running into little setback one after another.
I took the battery back out to the storage unit my car is in, after having had it on and off the trickle charger for the last week. Put the battery back in it, it fired on the first crank, and I let it warm up for about 15 minutes or so. Shut it off, put the cover back on it, and closed and locked the storage unit. I'll go back in a week or two, and start it up again. Maybe the weather will be better then, and I can take it out for a short drive.
I pulled my battery out and took it into the house until the weather warms up and the snow is gone. My car is sitting in the garage clean and dry but it isn't going anywhere for a while.

I went to the local U-Pull It and found a couple of parts I needed but was disappointed because a yellow 88 Formula had been sent to the crusher. I was planning on getting the springs off the 88 to cut down instead of cutting the ones on my 88Gt.
But a new (84-85) was there which has the Iron Duke 4 banger with a manual transmission. The car also had a very nice set of seats with speakers in the head rest.
