Title: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: f85gtron on March 06, 2020, 10:06:53 pm: Well, USED to be my Fiero, lol! It’s going to be in a short series. Hopefully it will be a good ambassador to Fieros. Please look and you be the judge. I’m glad to see it live on in good hands.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 06, 2020, 11:21:01 pm: Well, other than paint, the Fiero looks nice. You sold your silver one, I see.

His getting and out makes the Fiero look badly. There is plenty of room.

Not a fan of his colored lighting, or of the back and forth between his stuff and the promercials. He made a few mistakes, but generally correct. The smoke from the exhaust preview does not bode well.

I'll have to see the next iteration.

Post by: pgackerman on March 07, 2020, 07:24:06 am: But he loved driving it and kept saying nice things about the ride.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 07, 2020, 07:26:16 am: A shame it's gone, though. I wonder if the new owner will do RFTH?
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: The Art Doctor on March 07, 2020, 07:45:20 am: That guy is too big for that little car, what is he 6'5" 300. His head is to the roof and his belly is almost touching the steering wheel. I am not a fan of these types of youtube videos in general but my teen kids love them. Maybe this is a gateway for the kids to vintage cars?

Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 07, 2020, 07:51:37 am: You haven't met Jeff Jones. Jeff is shorter, but much heavier. He fits. In fact, he had the racing Fiero, with the bars on the sides, and full roll cage. I saw him drive that. Completely street legal.

I'm not that big, but there was no way I was getting in there.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 07, 2020, 08:11:25 am: Jeff Jones fit into this thing:

That was a 7.4L V8, at the time. It has more displacement, now, but Jeff sold it after purchasing another vehicle.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 07, 2020, 08:33:20 am: I think pgackerman is short, around 6'4", but have never seen his entry/egress on a Fiero.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: Fierofool on March 07, 2020, 09:23:40 am: Good video. So, Ron, you got rid of the 85GT. What do you have, now? Fill us in.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: f85gtron on March 15, 2020, 11:20:30 am: Nothing in my stable at the moment. I felt so guilty walking by my Fiero sitting all alone in my garage. I took it out every now and then, but the clubs here aren’t my cup of tea and I had no one to help or get help. This guy seemed eager and interested for sure. I think he’ll carry the torch well. I could sense his genuine enthusiasm when meeting with him for the sale and that was it. It’s in good hands. Not to say I don’t miss it, but being able to see the documented care of it is very satisfying. I get to see the work being done to it and attention being paid to it without actually having to do anything is wonderful. Now I know how corvette owners feel $$$$. Lol!

A shame it's gone, though. I wonder if the new owner will do RFTH?

If the club would like to invite him to RFTH, I’d be happy to push the invitation along! Might be great PR for the club!

Post by: Fierofool on March 15, 2020, 07:39:13 pm: Invite him. It's open to everyone. This is the 25th Anniversary Edition. Throwing in The Dragon a little out of schedule this year.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: The Art Doctor on March 15, 2020, 07:50:18 pm: Long video for an oil change and 6 spark plugs. But still I will watch the next episode to see where this is going.

Post by: The Art Doctor on March 15, 2020, 08:37:38 pm: Any body ever do that seafoam stuff? What is it supposed to do?
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 15, 2020, 08:40:29 pm: I've used seafoam. It cleaned the heads a bit. It's supposed to remove carbon deposits. Look up Project Farm on youtube. He does drmos with all sorts of things, including seafoam. Lots of comparisons.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: NoMad on March 18, 2020, 12:35:31 am: I did not watch the video, that said I have used seafoam for years with amazing results.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: Fierofool on March 18, 2020, 08:04:40 am: I used Seafoam on my first 85. I pulled the big vacuum line on the end of the plenum and put a hose into the bottle and stuck it into the nipple on the intake. I let it sip it like drinking through a straw. The danged car never did smoke. The exhaust did stink for awhile, though.

I think the recommendations were that part went through the intake, part through the fuel tank and part into the crankcase. Some have reported engine problems after adding it to the crankcase.

In the intake it's supposed to clean the top end of the engine. Buildup in the intake and runners, the valves and combustion chamber.

Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on May 03, 2020, 08:59:11 pm: I'm not sure how they're going through blades that quickly. Maybe a bit of oil would help? Of course, carbide or diamond blades would probably last longer.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on June 23, 2020, 07:59:02 pm: The suspension on this poor Fiero was apparently toast.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: f85gtron on July 03, 2020, 08:48:51 pm: It’s changed hands again. It now resides in Powder Springs.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 03, 2020, 10:18:41 pm: He doesn't sound like someone who would attend club events.

I wonder how the brakes got that bad?

It sems that the shifter needs a bit of alignment and/or lube.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: Raydar on July 04, 2020, 10:59:07 am: I commented on the video. Referred him to the club sticker on the window, and invited him to pop in and check us out.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 04, 2020, 11:01:26 am: Good idea.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: pgackerman on July 07, 2020, 11:02:15 pm: Car gets around.
But always back to the same State.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 07, 2020, 11:11:22 pm: Had it left, since F85gtron sold it?
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: pgackerman on July 08, 2020, 08:50:54 am: F85gtron moved to Florida with it.
Title: Re: My Fiero is famous!
Post by: Fierofool on July 08, 2020, 09:04:44 am: Where was the guy that bought it from Ron and started the videos? Was he in Florida?

F85gtron moved to Florida with it.

Right, but that didn't last long, that Fiero with him in Florida, that is.

I believe Avalon-Something is located in Florida.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 09, 2020, 06:05:21 pm: Well, glad it's back. I hope the new owner continues to fix it.
