We are going to Paul who does tint as part of his company. he is in the city but I guess I deleted the email. with his phone number. I may have it in my PDA or may have to get it from Hispano1 or from Kennyspec when he gets back from Las Vegas.

Paul did Kennyspecs last year and he has had no problems and it looks good. Ming would never do a deal like this. they have too much overhead. I think I remember the company name and location but rather than confuse people I will post it when I know it for sure.

Why can't it be March already.... I want to drive Though it better not be a muddy spring. i can't afford carwash every week. So if any of you see a **** yellow/brown car it isn't some new GM thing...... Just me

I believe I will have to copy Snipes and do the 35% tint.

06 pursuit gt

how do the tint percentages work? does it go down like 50%, 49%, 48% ect.
Oh and here's a link to a tint simulaor if u wanta rough idea of what the percentage u want looks like.

basically, the % is an indicator of how much light actually passes through the window

IE: 50% meaning 50% of the actual light is getting through, 35% only 35% gets through, and so on. You get the just.

topped out the out balt tonight 225kmh, man i havent gone that fast since the summer time, feels good

EuteR

it goes faster

Asphalt Assault

just so you know that ignorance is not bliss it the eyes of the law.... you would have a over $600 fine , your licence is gone for 6 months instantly (that I know for sure....dont ask why.... lets call it a near miss). this is no joke.

on that note .... anyone up for a track day at Gimili for road course driving.

EuteR

would it not be more than 600?? I mean. I was going about 30 over the limit and it was a 230 dollar ticket.. Nevermind double the limit, and then some.

SS_Ry

im down for coming and watching lol

MaJ

Road course driving in Gimli?
Am I missing something here.. I thought Gimli only had the strip.. no AutoX track...

Pablo

Gimli has a 1.3mile road course, not your average autocross, we're talking a 2km track with a straight that's about 600m long which is about 1.5 the size of the 1/4mile for those who don't know

MaJ

Holy ****, I did not know.
Well, something is better then nothing. I for sure want to hit this up this year!

Lindze

I'll come down for that...

Asphalt Assault

Motorcycle road racing go as fast a 160+mph on the front stretch and the course can be done under 1 min with an expert on a 600 supersport bike. expect to be about 30 seconds off that pace just as a guess for a first timer.

thought

YES!

So yeah, I was reading Dennis' writeups for like the 50th time.... Been thinking about what upgrades to do after the "tintses". I'm so worried about screwing up my new baby, but here's what I'm thinking. I think the first mod will be Ingalls. I don't wanna have any studdering at all for this summer. But, I am concerned that the dampener will make the ride noisier and possibly more uncomfortable and maybe even wear out engine mounts prematurely - anyone have Ingalls installed? I'd love to know what the difference really is in daily driving.
Second upgrade would have to be a CAI. After much humming and hahhhing, I think a CAI can be practical if I change back to stock when I put my winter tires back on, and visa versa. I was wondering Hisapano1, did you ever get a CEL with yours? And if I do get one, can I take it to the dealer to have them fix it? I'd hate to have them throw up their hands just cause I put on a CAI on a supercharged car, lol.
Finally, after those upgrades, I think I'll start humming and hahhhing about exhaust, GMS2, brakes, clutch, axles, mounts and what order to add those............yeesh, lol
Anyway, any opinions/stories from you guys would be great as you all have experience driving in this weather, and all-year round.

EDIT: What nobody awake yet? lol

hispano1

no i never got 1 cel @ all with the aem, i don't know about everyone else's self mod...


i was just wondering, does everyone else have their shocks squeeking when the car is warmed up and running or even when it is warmer outside like right now?? i understand the cold part when its freezing but when it's like this??

SS_Ry

mine squeek like a bitch...same with my brakes...

hispano1

dont get me started on mine...

thought

my new brakes do squeek from time to time, yeah. Suspension not so much, but the driver's door does.

EuteR

my suspension squeaks like a **** when its cold.. After it warms up it goes away

And thought, as far as the CEL goes. There is now a reflash for it, so you dont have to worry about that.

hispano1

is there any charge for it??

EuteR

nope, covered under warrenty

MaJ

Oh good, so I'm not the only one with extremely squeeky breaks then?...
My breaks squeek like crazy and it really freaks me out. I hate the idea of strange sounds coming from a new car!!

hispano1

i thought you werent driving your car in the winter??

EuteR

i saw a orange SS/SC pulling out of Canadian Tire on St James.. It had the stock rims on, and had badges.. Seemed like a older guy driving it.
