That might be a fun engine to put in my t-top duke car. But it"s an 88, so I'd have to put it on my 88 cradle.

I used to have a first class commercial radiotelephone license years ago, so I could probably remember enough stuff to get a ham license. but if they still require you to learn Morse code I'd have t,o learn that. And I'd have to buy equipment, too.

I am watching Motor Trend on TV and they are racing a Fiero with a Lamborghini.

Who won?

I'm going to need a 87-88 coupe right front fender eventually.

My birthday wound up being a good day, because my girlfriend Janice flew home from visiting relatives. But it was a struggle for her because the trains and elevators were broken at the airport. I can't imagine how bad that would be if it happened on a holiday weekend. She said it was very crowded with everyone trying to walk to baggage claim. But the day ended well for us.

Will it have to go on a frame machine to straighten the lower mounting point?
If I can't straighten it myself, which I intend to attempt.

I took the upper control arm out of the car. Now you can really see how smashed it is. The mount for it is undamaged. That's understandable since it is part of the spring socket, which bears the entire weight of that corner of the car, and is quite strong.

I finally got the car home, and checked out the damage.
The upper control arm is smashed...

The lower control arm seems OK, but the rear mounting point is bent...

Because I don't have a Fiero capable of doing the run, I have decided not to go this year. Besides, I have macular degeneration, so it's probably not a good idea for me to go anyway.

Found them in my garage while cleaning. They have surface rust, but are not grooved, etc. I have front and rear.

If it was just the fender, it wouldn't be too bad, but look at that wheel.

General Fiero Discussion / Wrecked it

Last Thursday my GF Janice burned herself while trying to light a fire in a fire pit. I went to the store in my yellow Fiero to get something she requested for that, and while on the way to her house, I hit a parked car on her street. It was night, and the car was black, and I just didn't see it (and I was hurrying). The right front wheel is now pointing in the wrong direction, and the car is not drive-able. I will post a picture later. It turns out that the car I hit (a 2002 Nissan) had an expired tag, and was therefore parked illegally.(You can't park an unregistered car on the street.) So the cop that showed up did not give me a citation, just his business card.

The problem is with my 88 duke powered t-top car. It started when I tried to drive it after it has sat a while. The clutch was very soft, and I couldn't get it into gear. The fluid in the master was low. So I topped it off, pumped the clutch a while, and it got firm and I was able to drive it. The problem has gotten worse over time, and today when I wanted to drive it, no amount of pumping would make the clutch work well enough to drive the car. The slave is a Rodney Dickman slave with dual seal piston, but it is several years old. Since his are made of aluminum, not steel or iron, I've always wondered if they would "wear out' over time. In any case, is there an easy way to tell which is bad -- the slave or master?
