It is on sunday the 22nd i believe around 1030 11 ish.


no dude it is a indoor show most likey, maybe at the olympic oval, round up center, or maybe even the saddledome. you would loose the car for the night and following day, as all cars get brought in the night before. the booths set up the night before too. they would host it indoors in calgary because we have no track. it is actually a cool feeling to participate in a indoor show of that size. seeing your car surrounded by other amazing rides all shinned up and looking sweet. its something we have to plan for and prepare in advance.

 

Sea level on 91.

Hemifever Custom Tune
Custom Track Intake
Moe's 87MM Ported Throttle Body
ARH Longtubes w/o Cats
4.10 Gears
Catch Can
ATI 15% Underdrive Pulley
180* Thermostat

 

I have to clean my interior it's getting really bad reminds me of Aaron's car

 

So which part is an actual mass produced bolt on that would take 15 minutes to do aside from the longtubes? 3 of those would take longer than 1 hr and even that's being generous.

 

not quite sure what intake hes running, but he modified a bolt on intake. other than that its all stuff thats mass produced. the hemifever tune is basically the trifecta tuning for rams. the gears were 4.10 from factory so he didnt change those.

you can buy all the rest of the parts from moe's performance aside from the "custom" intake

 

I miss the days when you actually had to "build" your car not just bolt it on was a lot of fun tons of headaches but way more expensive too

 

good luck jordan thats all i can say.

 

Lol you saying that reminds me of my buddy Chris. In 2000 he got a brand new Cavi Z24 for a Grad present. Well a year later he rigged up an M90 on it. Back then there was zero support from any sort of tuning software. Just used a fuel regulator to add fuel as boost increased lol. Well it lasted about the summer then blew up.



So what does he do? Gets a 3.1 V6, makes it fit and work and turbocharges it. The whole turbo kit built by hand. Ended up blowing up after a summer too because it was just a junk yard motor and busted a couple ringlands. But still pretty impressive none the less haha.

 

Did he just bolt that supercharger directly on top of the engine??

 

that is bad a$$

a built 2.4 turbo converted would have been bad ass too. unlike other belly button platforms.

 

Did I happen to meet this guy? Was he our expert welder for Mike's car?

 

Yes sir lol

Yup that's him! Now with his GM 3.6 V6 converted Subaru Legacy haha.

 

Haha I had a feeling it was the same guy!

 

"fast" all depends on the bar which you compare against;
a "fast" 1980's domestic car was roughly in the sixteens in the quarter mile;
back in the day very few musclecars could break out of the fourteens...
IMHO, it's all about the type of car - drivetrain, rear wheel drive or wrong wheel drive...



I think for thier segment and time the 2.4 deltas were pretty respectable considering what most of the compact markets' cars would run;
And then thrown in an SRT4 or SS/SC, and you were even better...

Look at today's sport compact segment;
240ish hp Focus ST, 205ish hp GTI, 200hp BRZ's...
In stock trim, both 2.0l Cobalts are still no slouch.

 

you 2 have to be very close now jonathan? any day now i am sure.

 

we've officially been on "any day now" status for well over a week.
Jamie's girl friend in Prince George was due within a couple days of us, and last we heard, she was on route to the hospital yesterday afternoon.



I made a tiny addition to my car last night...
it's fixed in the centre of my back seat.

 

the first one always takes it sweet time coming out. its because all the tendons and muscles are tight. jerr took his sweet time too. he went like 4 days in labour before he decided it was time. funny thing was if he stayed in there for 1 more hour he most likely would have died. it took them 5 mins to get him going when he came out. it a experience i rather not repeat hahahaha i swore my ex became the devil himself.

now the million dollar question is did you get a recaro seat? i know i need to add some safety stuff like fire extinguishers into my car for the kid. i also will have to take the bottle out every time he/she is in there. i know for a fact my boy/girl will know what boost is before they get off the boob. hahahaha.


for those who frown upon that i dont frankly care. jerr knew what racing was before he even knew how to walk. as matter of fact he wasnt even 1 when he watched his first build. he sat very happily in his seat in -10 as we body lifted and rebuilt the suspension on a 80 chev desiel 4x4.

 

i don't have any "seat";
we have a hand me down graco carrier c/w two bases;

IIRC you can't put newborns in a seat anyway...

when it comes to changing from a carrier to a seat i will probably pick something priced well, that isn't too huge, so that other people can also sit in the back - preferrably something all black, that cleans easy...

I don't know if you have realized it, but many seats are getting so big that they reduce the vehicles effective seating capacity...

 

well first thing first. make sure the seat you have is still good. they have expire dates on them. iirc they are only good for 4 to 5 years. yes of coarse you start with a carrier, but regardless if it is a seat or carrier you are loosing 1.5 seating placement anyways. graco is a good brand, you know im going for a show piece if i buy a recaro. essentially they are all about the same size and take about the same amount of room. i have no worries with that coz my car has been essentially a 2 seater for over a year. i rub too hard with people in the back, so i never have anyone back there.

btw that is a serious heads up on the expire date of seats. iirc it is a law. if something happen, and they find the seat to be out of date, you essentially loose all rights to be compensated.

 

yeah, now there's a serious scam/crock-o-crap if there ever was one...
it's plastic and cloth - there's no way that they should expire...

but we're good;
do you recall Jamie's very pregnant bridesmaid? - it's a hand me down from her, and it's still fine.

Thanks

 

as long as you knew about it, that is all i can do. i think it is a scam too but they are pretty serious about it. ella had no clue about it, until i informed her. i know they checked jerr's seat when we took him out of the hosp. certainly a cash grab if you ask me.

 

Kev,

were you drunk when you called me this past weekend? that was the longest phone conversation ive had with ANYONE in over 5 years.. ha

 

 

no i believe thats fairly normal for kevin hahahaha. our phone calls last a long time too

 

I woke up the other morning to a missed call from him
