Garage shelving
I spent most of the weekend putting in new garage shelving. I needed more organized space for my garden tools, car parts, and various tools. I did have an existing shelving unit in the garage when we moved in, …but I took it down for…
Been in the house for a year
…crazy, we’ve been in the house a full year. The time just flew by. We moved in July 14th, 2006.
Canada Day fireworks
Happy Canada Day! In the tradition of my neighborhood, they have a Canada Day fireworks display followed up by a massive street party. The entire crescent gets shut down, blocks all traffic, and everyone has a great time. I had to take a picture of…
Stiletto Chopper
Well, one of the houses about 10 blocks from my house was having a yard sale, and I just happened to drive by while I was taking my Impala out for a rear rotor “brake-in” test drive. Something caught my eye… …I saw a Giant…
Rear Impala Rotors + Brakes
After I replaced the front rotors a few weeks ago, I still had that annoying pulsation. That meant the back rotors were the culprit, not the front :( So, I ordered up some rear rotors off ebay. They came in yesterday, and I installed them…
CCAE Bronze medal
Just found out today that David (co-worker at Durham College) and I received a CCAE bronze medal for an Audio/Visual project we did last summer. CCAE is an organization that allows many Canadian colleges and universities to submit their projects, (like print material, brochures, multimedia,…
Replacing Rotors + Brakes on the Chev Impala
I’ve been having a pulsating feeling in the brake pedal for about 1.5 months now. Actually, ever since I got the Impala from Bill Nurse (dealership) back in April 2006, I had a noise coming from the passenger side brake suring regular driving. I even…
New bicycle – The Raleigh Chopper
Ok, I’ve been thinking about getting a new bike for the summer – or “a” bike for the summer, because I don’t have one. Been throwing around the idea for about 3-4 months now, because I’d like to get some exercise outdoors. Also, I’d like…
Fiero stuff for sale
Still have a lot of Fiero stuff for sale. Contact me about any of the following…
Vegetable Garden
This is the first time I’ve done this – making a vegetable garden. I’m not a green-thumb by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I hate plants, …the only green-thumb thing I like is grass and lawn care. But I love vegetables, and I…
Pontiac Vibe
Today I went and test drove a new 2007 Pontiac Vibe. It was very nice. Right now I have a 2003 Chevrolet Impala LS. First off, …the Impala is a great car, lots of power, big, safe, and a great stereo system. …you’re probably thinking…
Building the shed
Sunday, day 2 of the shed build; and the last day. Today my Grandfather and I built the shed base floor, anchored it to the slabs, then erected the rest of the shed. The instructions for this shed are a disgrace. It looked like it…
Building a shed base
Well, with the weather being so nice, it’s that time of year again to start the summer projects. One of my projects this year is to erect a storage shed for gardening/patio stuff. With the help of my Grandfather, 12 concrete slabs, and 1/2 yard…
Yet another idling test with winALDL
Here is another test with winALDL. I had the Fiero running for about 7 minutes in the driveway. Click here to download the zipped “txt” log file.
Another idling test with winALDL
Just finished another idling test with ALDL on the Fiero. We’ll see what this brings. Click here to download the zipped “txt” log file.
ALDL data in the Fiero
This is the coolest thing ever. A couple of days ago I received my ALDL cable. This cable allows me to hook up my laptop to the Fiero’s ECM computer and read data. I can see everything in real-time, kph, rpms, speed, etc.; all while…
High idle woes continue
The solenoid appears NOT to be the culprit of my high idle in the Fiero. I’m still looking to the problem. This sucks :(
42 inches of LCD goodness…
We’ll, I couldn’t pass this deal up. 42″ LCD for under $700; they were clearing them out and it was an in-store deal at Tiger-Direct. They never published it on their website. All I can say is WOW! This thing is so sharp and clear.…
High idle and vacuum leak…
I’ve had a problem with a high idle (2500 rpm) for about a year now. When I first got the car back with the 3.4L, it ran just fine; but after it’s first storage from winter, I started it up and it had a high…
Parking tickets
Ok, …with a title like that, …you KNOW it has rant written all over it. My father in law (one of the nicest men I know) got us free playoff tickets to the Generals game tonight. Unfortunately the Oshawa Generals lost, and were knocked out…
The bane of my existence is done
The bane of my existence for the past week and a half is done. The Fiero parts car has been stripped of all the parts I need. …now, instead of just posting this in the category of “Fiero”, I thought I would also post this…
Going good so far…
Big night. I removed the front corner panels on both sides and the door skin on the driver’s side. The car is now looking like it has been “stripped”. Also, I’ve noticed that there are two areas (drivers side under the sail panel and the…
Been thinking…
…when I start “thinking” it usually ends up in me spending more money on the Fiero. I really want to upgrade the interior in this thing, and I was looking at Pisa’s Wrap around dash interior. It is wicked, and uses a lot of the…
Working at it…
Still been working at this thing every day. Yesterday I put in about 3 hours worth of work. It has been going good. Maybe 3-4 days left until it is done. Take a look at the pictures. I removed the rear bumper, and the front…
