I've been in contact with The Fiero Farm in South Carolina and Todd tells me he will be in Loganville on the 10th.  If he has time, he will drop in on our meeting or tech session.

We're going to Mike's early in the morning, take a lunch break around regular meeting time then return to Mike's.

How is Mike doing?
Title: Re: March Club Meeting
Post by: Fierofool on March 04, 2018, 01:04:05 pm
I've made several calls to his cell phone but haven't gotten an answer or response.  I don't know.

I hate to ask this, but in the event that Mike isn't up to a tech event on Saturday, are there alternate plans?  Presumably, the fastback would be unavailable, but perhaps the tech day could still be planned with a few tweaks and an alternate venue.

I talked with Michael about an hour ago, and he's still suffering.  He and his mechanic both have the flu so the shop has been closed down.  Michael said he's going to go back to work tomorrow, regardless, and is hoping his mechanic, who developed symptoms a day or two before Michael, will be able to return, also.

I'm glad to read this good news, for Michael's sake and for the shop.

This is not a good thing, IMHO. The flu that is going around is killing people. I hope that Mike recovers, before he over-extends himself. (I still remember the "broken hand" thing.)

With that out of the way...
What time are people planning on showing up at Mike's. After an entire week of getting up at ~5 AM, I'm not the most energetic "morning person", by the time the weekend rolls around.

Aren't you on Jimmy Buffet Time?

Post by: Fierofool on March 05, 2018, 08:22:02 pm
I called his shop today and he was still closed. 

If he's able to open up Saturday, I plan to be there around 9AM.  Maybe we could migrate up to Pat's and work on the 3800 if Mike's not up to opening up and Pat and Linda are Ok with that?

Speaking for myself, it's OK with me. And I have an idea for something to check on the 3800. Fuel pressure. Does anyone know where the Schrader valve is on that engine?
I drove it a few feet last weekend, to move cars around. I had to get a running start just to back it over the low curb at the entrance to our driveway. I'm thinking that low fuel pressure could cause it to lose power when you hit the gas pedal.

What year?  Haynes manual shows where it is at on Page4-2 of 84-88 manual
Title: Re: March Club Meeting
Post by: Fierofool on March 06, 2018, 12:28:41 pm
It isn't stock.  It has a 95 Buick 3800 in it.

Was the fuel filter changed?  The car has been sitting for about 5 years.

Sorry, I guess I need to read the treads better, or quit posting.  I thought it was about  Fiero engine

Don't be sorry. Ask all the questions you can. The 3800 is a popular swap and chances are you'll run into one at some point ;)

I'm pretty sure I changed the fuel filter. I can peek under it and see if it looks new.

I'm back among the living I think. Now I understand how the flu is killing people!
I plan on being at the shop at 8 on Saturday.

I called his shop today and he was still closed.

You rarely post, as it is.  I hope to read more from you.

Welcome back Mike! Glad to hear you're feeling better. :)

Glad you're feeling better Mike. It kept me down for a week.

I wouldn't say that I over-extended myself. All I did was extend my hand toward a computer screen with sufficient velocity to cause the bone to break. I did over-extend didn't I?

Thought it was a shelf or alignment rack, or something.
I'm still happy that you are feeling better.
I'll try to be up there around 9 AM. At least it's not my usual "azz-crack of dawn".

Broken bone?  What did I miss?
Title: Re: March Club Meeting

Looking like I'm not going to be there in the morning. Maybe not all day.
Title: Re: March Club Meeting
Post by: Roger on March 09, 2018, 09:51:12 pm
Have come down with a bug and won't be there, UGH!
Title: Re: March Club Meeting
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 09, 2018, 10:37:12 pm
This bug sure gets around!  Get well soon.

It's a little late, and not much could be done about it, but I'm counting those who will be there:
Mike
TopNotch
FieroFool
Dave?

Not that they aren't able to handle things on their own, but it'd be nice to see a few more people show up.  I don't recall seeing anyone else express intent.

Don't forget to take PICTURES!

Thanks. Ain't any better today if not worse. Thot I'd keep it away from me but...

Y'all be safe and, yes, pictures!

We had a good cat on the fastback Formula.  Pat's a Vet.  We could have taken it off and given it to him.  :D
