Hey guys, a few notes of interest.

If any of you haven't checked out the GRRNC site for the 2005 updates you've missed about 100 pics of stuff that went on Saturday and Sunday. Same for RRDI if you haven't looked at it in a while.

Also, I got this email and forgot to mention it at the last meet so I'm gonna post it here and bring a hard copy to the meet. tonight seeing how it's 1am Saturday.

Beth, that is a funny story. I mean, I can only imagine the attendant yelling SHINKA! into the phone, and the officer on the other end thinking WTF?! is this guy talking about.

Hope to see everyone tonight. I will be under the trusty Fiero, changing a water pump, but should be done in time for the meeting.

AntiVenom7

hey guys. what do you think a 1990 vert with about 100K is worth? it is on its original motor, but with good compression. the paint is super clean, leather has no rips or tears but is worn, top needs replacing soon.

Not much, maybe an old amp if you have one. According to Ebay they are worth 5 million dollars but that changes once summer is over and drops down to about half that.
Seriouly Josh, it's like the price on these things is seasonal related for what people ask.
I see them asking from 2 to 7 grand on there, and selling in that range depending on condition and time of year. 7 is pushing but I have seen plenty go for 5k during the spring/summer months. The top is a given on these things, it either needs to be or has been replaced or you can do like I do and leave it down 90% of the time. Prices to fix it range from a few hundred if you can do it yourself to maybe a grand. I run the **** out of mine daily and
love it.

AntiVenom7

i might be picking one up. i gotta go look at it again. i think it is a kick *** summer car. plus my FD wheels would look nice on it, and I could have something to take up to the GAP and not sweat the temps, and all.

i figure maybe a beater sports car is better than another expensive car. less to worry about when you rip it up.

Just finished moving from Durham to Raleigh and found my digital camera i had packed away. So I took some pics and made a few pages on cardomain. Let me know what you think! I want to maybe come to the drive in soon!

come on out tonight if you have a chance.

As far as the car, I had a boss here on the ship who had one and loved it to death(still has it last I heard)...the ONLY thing I ever heard him really complain about was actually temps. He said because of the radiator being up front and the engine in the back(or something like that) the pump was sometimes too weak to provide proper cooling...but I think he was talking about a non-stock fiero, so you SHOULD be good. And if not he said it was a simple fix by replacing the pump with a stronger one. Any mechanically inclined person could do it I suppose. Just something you might wanna go to a fiero club about to check on before buying if you want a car not affected by temps. He always said it was a great all around fun car though.

mmmjesse

hey david, what kind of times do you run? I would be curious to how close my car runs to a more stock srt-4.

Jesse

PerkyStina

You're backstepping... the verts are slow. This will be interesting. Haha.

*Jealous* I want a vert, toooo. They've grown on me... but David REALLY wants one. LOL

JKM

You don't need a vert! You need to buy my FC, the sunroof actually works, that's close enough!

(Don't tell him that I'm selling the car to buy a convertible!)

NCShinkaBabe

Hey Josh, What happend to you tonight? I was kinda bummed you weren't there, wanted to see your rear end damage.

Water pump give you problems?

Dlpz87

My driver side window is becoming tempermental. Great meet, I appreciate all of ya'll being so accepting and nice. I don't know what I was expecting, but not that. Have a great weekend all!

AntiVenom7

no the pump went in fine. i got dragged to a brooks and dunn concert out at the pavillion.

did we have a good turnout last night?

I think the unofficial count was 5 RX8 units, 1 FD unit, 7 FC units and 1 FB unit. There was also an old '69 camero, a firebird and a mustang with a blower. There were a couple of new 8 owners and an 87 turbo that was just plain stupid. It's as clean if not cleaner than my 91. Was a good meet but we all tossed in in around 9:30 to do other things.

mrthundercleese

Im impressed! We will catch up to you FC owners yet . I think my remody for broken cpu's is going to be a baseball bat from now on. At least that way I wont miss the meets because a missbehaved computer .

Yeah we were talking about that last night man. I think I'm just gonna park my extra one there so we can have a headstart on the 7s. Wonder if I can talk Johny and Steve into it with some of theirs then we'll have the upper hand on you guys by about 5 or 6 cars.... heh. Was nice to have that many out and we were wondering where you were also.

phoenix_flame

HEY! I heard that! lol...Jesse...I have not got a clue!!! I haven't had her run the track yet...1/4 OR 1/8th I've tried to go like 4 times and something ALWAYS comes up. But my friends say with a decent 0-60 time I should be in the mid 13's. They said with sticky tires(drag radials) strapped on I should be mid to low 13's. So I don't know. I'm pretty slow still...but hopefully this part I'm buying shortly will change that. I don't really know.

PerkyStina

I'll pimp your vert, you drive your TII, and David can drive my car.

...wait... David will wanna drive the Vert. LOL

Dlpz87

I'm bored....and my car isn't stupid, it's just slow

No dude! Not stupid as in bad, stupid as in it's just crazy how nice it is. Sorry for the confusion, just the way we talk sometimes about guitars and stuff at work. Like, it's stupid how nice it is. And somehow I doubt that it's slow, even for an 87 turbo. If need be we got mad skilz and can hook you up with people who can change that if you want but as nice as that car is I'd be tempted to keep her stock, do reliablility upgrades as needed, and daily drive it. Then again I am the the nut that never drives his hardly.... Anyway man, that's a stupid car and I like it.

Dlpz87

Lol, I got it, I was just bored and felt like posting. And I know she's not slow, but it's not "fast" either. Yea, I really need to get hopping on making her really reliable. I really wonder about that "HKS Exhuast" I'll check the product number tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be on the invoice. Jesse gave me quite a few ideas of what to do to her. I just want to keep it clean looking you know? I know it'll cost more, but it will be way more fulfilling in the end I think.

phoenix_flame

I no drive RX-7 said weekend...I drive SRT to dc...I talk "stupid" like caveman...lol, just playing. But I did hear some AWESOME talk about that car, Turbo II. And if it makes you feel any better...I knew what you meant when you said stupid Some of my buddies on the ship use it so it didn't take me TOO long to figure out
