Looks like I'm headed to Atlanta at the end of July to go visit Taylor. He promised me some rides in some high hp GTR's haha. I may even bring blue to Bismarck when he goes home to visit to turn up the boost and do some playing around on the dyno

Swapped out my intake cam position actuator. Been getting P0011 code intermittently so I did some research and found out it was cheap enough to just replace.

Anyway the car feels more responsive, responds to throttle smoother and revs smoother.

Thinking this might be common issue now with the age and mileage of most of our cars.

Not sure what just the springs cost but I got springs plus shocks/struts for a little over 900usd from CED.
Perhaps tom could give you a price in cdn since he just bought some from tom Powell.

John has actually said they are more expensive for Canadians because their made in the USA.

I want them, but I'm worried I won't be able to use my back lane/garage lowered.

They don't drop a ton. Nothing close to other springs. More or less levels the car.

Congrats and welcome! Sadly this forum isn't what it once was but there's a ton of useful info on here. Us Manitoban's trolling on this thread are fairly knowledgeable also if you have any questions.

Welcome.
Some of us are pretty smart. One time I changed my air filter all by myself. So if you ever need help

Welcome. I'm not as grumpy as most my posts sound.

I'm thinking we should try and get a group together for the spring awakening meet. No dates yet but it's always a good time.

So I decided to do a little something different.

Just get speed factor to do it. I think Dustin said it was $87 for install and balance. I've always changed my own tires on my car. So if I can do it without damaging them they definitely can haha. Powder coat is extremely durable. It's very hard to damage unless it wasn't prepped properly.
