I just realized that my Fiero made a small appearance on Fiero Fiberglass.  Not a very good pic.

PHS forwarded me to another place, but all they had was the invoice, which I already have.

I'm used to being able to feel how fast I'm going in a vehicle.  Since the work has been done on my Fiero, I've had a difficulty determining the speed.  I hope that, when the engine smooths out, I will be able to feel the speed again.

After a few adjustments, my Fiero runs great!  I plan to take it for a shakedown cruise tomorrow (the day doesn't change until I get some sleep), but I have high hopes.  There is no surge on startup, and it idles smoothly at 900RPM.  For the most part, it shifts smoothly through the gears, and seems to be in the correct gear.

I went for the skakedown cruise this am.



Some nice views.  I was on the curvy roads before dark, then got to some straightaways.  After dawn, I opened the throttle a bit.  I kept the headlight doors on, but it was a concern.  No issues with the engine.

After a bath, my Fiero looked nice and clean, from this angle.  The other side has a greasy hand print in the middle of the rocker panel.

Nice looking car, but probably hard to keep clean.

Thanks.  Actually, I find black is harder to keep clean.

Yeah, when I had my white Dodge truck, it seemed it hardly ever needed washing and it was often mistaken for a new truck, even after 17 years and 225,000 miles.

I'm going to take it for a spin again tonight.  Last run was to check the engine.  This run is to check the transmission.

Here are a few pics of my Fiero:


When the track is closed, they let you go all over.  At least, they didn't try to stop me.


This pic was difficult.  Aside from pedestrians, this place is busy.  Lots of car traffic.  I had a better pic that was more centered, but the camera lost it.  Here, my Fiero was parked in the street.  I had to come by a second time to get this pic, and really hurry to do this despite traffic.

After we unloaded the Fiero, my wife insisted on driving the Fiero, as opposed to the truck pulling the trailer.  Apparently, she had fun.  I did eventually get the keys to the Fiero returned to me.

Your wife and that Fiero were made for each other. ;D

As long as she doesn't have to back up.  Actually, no.  This one's mine.
