hmmm well.....theres the info for ya haha

 

LoL@!

 

Scots Uncle is IA for the Calgary police.

Whats his badge number and name Scott uncle will harass him for ya.

 

I missed this post;

Thank you very much Jordan!!

this is why I liked going to Race city (I hope there isn't to long of a delay for another track to happen);
I could pick out cars that I figured i was in direct competition with, and see how I fared (keep in mind this was for the couple years where I took my GA stock or otherwise to the track);
many of them I lost - but some I was flabbergasted at how poor the other car ran...
then there's the few who (after the select upgrades) I was able to beat - which I presumed were one or more classes ahead of me...

in all, I really had fun at race city - even on knights were I went home without a single "win"

Race City Will be missed.

it's small town logic;
if there's nothing to do - kids either get in trouble, or make babies...


seriously.

That's a seriously cool thing for you to post!

unfortunately, this is regaurding the city of Lethbridge Police... and I'm pretty sure Scott's uncle couldn't do crap.

 

greetings from deadmonton....... seen quite the wreck outside of leduc.... all is good be here for another day or 2...... see ya all when we get back.....



steve IRON FREAKIN MAIDEN RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol thata boy i am proud!!!!!!!!!!!! long live eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!


PURA VIDA IRON MAIDEN!!!!

 

ya my ipod decided it wanted to play afraid of the dark, the live version great ******* song. i cranked the volume all the way up and i was on the train as well haha

 

i drove right by your house jonathan so i just thought i would compliment your lights.

my house has none, and we have like 5 long strings of them haha to lazy to put them up

 

my gf bought it for me, brand mpx...

 

I would think that having a IA guy harass a cop for someone would in turn make things worse. He would probably treat everyone he stopped worse than before. It's just a guess but atleast you offered to help! lol

 

IMHO - that's the best one you can get;
you don't have to pay extras for additional bungs...

I like MPx ~ other than the fact that they don't make/carry too much, they are my first choice for anything.

 

when your warranty is up you gonna get their catback?

 

aftermarket catbacks have been proven to do little to nothing on SS/TC's...
if I do get one - it will be theirs though...
I was thinking of getting it last year untill I did more research....
catbacks pretty much are for different sound...

to the best of my knowledge at this time these are the best upgrades;
1) tune
2) downpipe
3) chargepipes/intercooler

after that the best mechanical upgrades seem to be;
valve springs
turbo swap (the pending ZZP one is my bet)
upgraded cams

but this is just my opinion...

 

How much are these roughly? Moog swaybar links

 

Moog Chassis Parts AMGK80252 - Moog Sway Bar End Links - Overview - SummitRacing.com

youll need 2 i believe so about $100

 

where are you buying from?

Rockauto.com has the delco's at $30 ~ I'd wager a guess that jobbers are $50 a pop at autovalue...

 

that takes two factors out of account;
1) parts are cheaper in the USA ~ generally in the realm of 30%-50% in fact...
2) summit does give free shiping ot state-side orders over a dollar amount (iirc) - but not for Canadian orders...

moog is good - but nothing to get bent out of shape to get;
I'd buy what ever is hte best balence of price & quality from either Autovalue, or NAPA (generally NAPA carries better lines though ~ and in Canada, NAPA almost exclusively caters to shops)

 

i know napa caters to my school's shop. my teacher would order a bunch of things like oil, oil filters and creepers from them and they would drop them off all the time

 

deals with schools are a bit different...

AV can get much better prices, but often the parts are knock offs - and the best quality parts can be had at NAPA...
I learnt this while being employed in the industry - in a small private shop...
I think Grand Prix carries much of the same stuff that NAPA does...
The shop I worked for ordered roughly 35% from AV, 40% from GP, and 20% from NAPA... depended on the job - and the brand for the job..

nite! *waves*

 

ya my dad bought my rotors and pads from auto value (dont ask me why he just wen tout and bought them and made me pay him back for them) and the pads are ****, ill wash my car and a day later they are gunmetal rims from the dust. and the rotors are warped a bit now (its been like 10,000kms since i changed them)

i wanted hawk brake pads (cause they are dustless) and i cant remember the companies rotors. oh well *shrugs*

night! *waves back*

 

Ya she already purchased it and got it shipped but it just hasn't arrived yet. It's their catted downpipe. Does it come with additional bungs but just plugged off?

Now to get GMS1 for the summer...

 

I hate my brakes for this... My wheels get dustier than all hell after a little bit of driving after a wash...

 

Cold cobalt.

 

the moog endlinks are beefier than stock. they are around 85 I think at AV when I changed mine

 

Generally AV will carry at least two lines of brake components - one is better, but more expensive ~ and nine times out of ten, people just want the cheap stuff.
For a long time OE GM brake parts were re-boxed Raybestos 'red line' parts;
Raybestos used to offer two lines;
red line - premium line, pad backings were red
blue line - lower line, pad backings were blue

I know you used to be able to get Raybestos at AV...

I think the red line has been discontinued...

it comes with two additional O2 bungs (so three in total), as well as a bung for an AFR....

I'd only recommend GMS1 if you're worried about maintaining warranty - and even then the Trifecta can be hidden;
I believe the dealer I'm going to (Jack Carter) looks for a hidden tune every time I'm in - because every time I pick up my car my cruise button is engaged...
Little do they realize that Trifecta tunes can be full time, or activated by traction control or cruise buttons (not that I have it)... or that a tune can be installed on a second computer all together...
HPT = always will be seen on the Tech2 scanner
Trifecta = can always be hidden

@ Jordan;
also cheap rotors have lower quality steel - and warp ALOT faster.
