  1. I enjoyed it. I haven't watched Altered Carbon yet, but will soon.

     

     

    Altered Carbon is definitely strange. We're 4-5 episodes in and while the action is pretty neat, you need to pay attention to the back story and how it plays into now. I like the actor because he was one of the main people in the Killing on AMC back in 2014/15.

  2. But do you have the matching chair and ottoman? Eh eh?

     

    No, we have the matching lamps, end tables (broke the coffee table years ago). Was a set we got from Value City for like $800 when my wife and I first moved out. It's now our "basement furniture".

     

    Just never seen anyone else have the same couch as we have. :)

  3. I use Mobdro on the firestick. It works good but if you watch a super popular channel like Discovery or something it tends to crap out after a few minutes and start lagging bad. Basically stopped using it. I have Kodi but from when I did use it it took FOREVER to load anything.
  4. Love the auto slow down flaps.

     

    Maybe I'm not awake yet but what do you mean?

     

    Edit.. nevermind. Now I know what you're talking about. The headlights lol. Yeah every time I go over 100 mph they pop up. apparently I can cut a hole in the hood or somewhere in the front trunk area and it won't happen.

  5. "Fabricated" the rest of the trunk so I can actually put something back there. On the trip to Detroit it only got to about 120 degrees max in 80 degree weather so that's not too bad. Took the existing heat shield, wrapped it in header wrap. Then took the bottom of the trunk out, flattened it and got some of that metal sticky flashing stuff and wrapped it.

    More leaky trans fluid on the way back from Detroit. Original hose had a tiny cut in it. Didn't pour out but it leaked enough.

    Won a trophy at the wbody gathering. I swear they gave this monstrosity of a trophy because they knew I didn't have any room in the car.

    Then finally picked these up in November from tire rack for $150 shipped for both. Plan is to toss these on the back, Put the rear 225/50/16's on the front and sell the 205/55/16's on CL.

    Not a good car to travel in for long distances:

    Here's the entire album and crap that I've uploaded since the beginning of this project. Had to move everything from the assholes at Photo bucket to Flickr.. Still uploading pics here and there.

    I'm hoping in 2018 to get my intercooler installed, run E85 and run some mid-high 11's. As long as nothing breaks :).

  7. Haven't updated this thread since April. A few things happened. For those who don't see the crap I upload on Facebook here's a rundown:

     

    Went to Trails. Went 12.6 @ 108:

     

     

    Went to the Dragway 42 CR day, went 12.55

     

     

    Found a set of Beretta GTZ wheels. Largest stock wheel GM made that's 5x100.. 16x7. Striped and repainted them.

    Drove it up to Detroit for a wbody/3800 gathering in July. Found there is basically NO room if you have a passenger. Car ran great until one the way home sprung a leak in the trans cooler line:

    "Grand Am brake upgrade" lol. Paid $25 for two new calipers and rotors. They are an upgrade since all 4 corners on a Fiero are single rotors. non vented. Tossed these on in the summer sometime:

    Installed a rear sway bar. It's a Front sway bar installed in the back since there isn't one from the factory:

    Made a set of coilovers for roughly $300. This let me run a 255/50/16 Drag radial.

    Painted the blower, put a ported lower intake on it for the intercooler that I can't seem to get to seal so I just left it until I decide to mess with it.

  8. I'm waiting for someone to pull me over in the Fiero. Personal historical tags and only one is issued from the BMV. I wonder if they actually do see that I don't have a front tag and then when I drive by they see the personalized tag and say "damnit".

     

    I live in Gahanna and work in Westerville and have driven by numerous police this past year and not one time did I get pulled over.

  9. I posted this on FB but no one responded. These were my Grandmothers and she bought them in them in the mid 40's. One is cedar and the other one I'm not sure? Cherry? They're very nice and we have no idea how much their worth. She did have an auctioneer dude come and look at them and he said $50 for both of them. My mom was pissed and said nope.

     

    So with that said, what would something like these go for? This isn't really a for sale thread but if you're interested in them shoot me an offer and I can relay them to my mom. They are in Westerville (Annehurst area) if you would want to come by and take a look at them.
