That's cool as hell. I'm not familiar with this "maker space" you speak of. I guess they have 3D printers, water jets, and all kinds of cool stuff?

Yeah a Maker Space is like a public workshop you pay a membership for. This one has a pretty substantial woodshop with table saws, routers, band saws, planers. ect. They also have a welding shop that has a plasma and smaller MIG, and a machine shop with a small CNC mill, drill press, surface grinder and lathe. They have a few 3D printers, this laser table, some small robot stuff.

Think of it like a gym but instead of workout machines you have tools.


Pretty nice thing to have for sure!

I decided to get a couple more chicks today while I was at TSC buying a bag of feed, so I'm now up to 5, I don't think I'm going to get any more than that. I've got them in a bigger bin, it's a 50 gal, they've got plenty of space in there. They are starting to fly and roost on that piece of pex tube.

I changed the air filter, cabin filter and the oil and oil filter on the Camry. Went with all Fram stuff because that's what Walmart sells. And yep I went with the orange can Fram and before anyone says it, yeah I know...

Done! Had to make stuff a bit crooked but MIG fill gaps well! Plus its symetric so its not THAT bad. And yeah, he test started it, with a cam and headers and this straight through muffler its pretty damn loud.

GM. Go figure. Get the GN right. Kill the body type. Put application-specific suspension under the Fiero and kill the body type.

This is even an 88 so its got the good suspension and improved brakes.

Lack of power killed sales on these, if they put that efi 1st gen 3800 in it from the 88 toronado or the DOHC olds quad 4. The 2.8 was too little too late the the iron duke didnt satisfy.

I enjoy working on this, it's typical GM stuff and slightly dampens my desire to own a fiero.
