with only a chance of thundershowers, and a total of less than 1mm of rain (@ 30% pop) I'd not worry about it...
last night they were calling for 26 tomorrow - now they're calling for 28... looks to be a nice day!!

here's what the weather office is calling for;

I didn't even know any '09 4 door SS's were in town!

 

ready jon you want to know the results lol MOLE 1 to GRAHAM 0 lol see you tomorrow man

 

Race City sounds good tomorrow. Hopefully this time Ill actually be able to shift into second. sad that even with a miss shift I was still hitting 98mph trap speed. What time are people showing up? Are people meeting up before hand to cruise there together?

 

lol ^^^^ bloody turbo owners lol hahahah not sure if we will make it or not if anything we will just watch today!!!!!!!!! my car is not doing so good after last week lol and i really dont think it will pass tech either lol. TIRES!!!! they are smoked!!!! so when is everyone showing up? i need to meet up with travis at 7 then i will be there maybe!!!!!

 

how bad can your tires be? I'll be there at 7 for the start.

 

let me put it to you this way lol i barely passed tech last week and i lost half my tread there lol. hahahaha they are really smoked lol i think jonathan even noticed!!! lol

 

Ya, stay away from Carter. How the hell they manage to stay in business is beyond me...

 

Ya jack carter is quite a **** around... well i get to pick my car up tomorrow, pretty excited to get my balt back! and get rid of the god awful rental focus...

 

hahahaha ok boys and girls!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol here is the best results before i left the track tonight.... graham; 16.540
kris; 16.439

it is so close between the 2 they are almost equal... i figure with a driver mod graham's car will beat a 2.4L lol just my 2 cents lol

 

My best time was 16.504 last night, before my leg got the best of me. i think Kris hit 16.323

 

clutch is on order- end of august will see what this car can do

 

thanks for posting that up!!

didn't steve show up?

Winnipeg is nice & warm!

 

Nope, Steve was playing video games with me. Plus he hasn't fixed his " noise "

 

ya i will post up the oficail slips lol but in the end the score was kris 5 to graham 0 but holy **** he definatley gave me good runs lol we are very equal but i am sorry graham once i get the header and downpipe done you cant touch me lol

 

lol my quickest run in my Ion 3, 2.4 5spd was just over 15....

 

You can get your little header and down pipe, I will get a intake manifold and throttle body and a tune. then lets play again

when we are off by .1 of a second i dont know if you can still say you slaughtered me

 

Hey guys, not sure if anyone here is interested, but I saw a white SS/TC sedan for sale today, sitting on Canyon meadows drive just west of macleod...

 

anyone heading to timmies tonight?

 

Good luck to you. all that work and money with a different mani, tb and trifecta, it's still a base model built for teenage girls and grandma.


Kris, he probably kept up with you because an auto removes all driver error. as per Trav's comment below, with hd/dp on the car, you will get moving quicker, but might not be a bad idea to look at the afr / timing maps on the car. if you're opening up the rear, more timing advance is possible.

 

[QUOTE=Pickles;5149710]Good luck to you. all that work and money with a different mani, tb and trifecta, it's still a base model built for teenage girls and grandma.QUOTE]

Dude are you trying to make fun of me? keep saying all you want about a car for teenagers and grandmas. Oh an rentals.

I was trying to make a point that with the right mods a 2.2 can beat a 2.4 so it looks like i am close. ya i will have to put more money into it then a 2.4 will, but honestly that is half the fun.

 

Definitely wish you luck dude. just seems like a lot of work to put into a base model, trust me, I've seen just how much it takes to soup an sc, its gonna be a hell of a lot harder with na, especially with no custom tuning control.

It would be wicked to see you prove me wrong. Hell, I met a guy in the SoCal crew with a turbo'd 2.2, and I was impressed. It Can Be done.

 

yee-ouch!!

Pickles, I think you forgot something very important;

all these cars are marketed towards old women & teen aged girls...
the last several SS/TC's I's seen were either driven by someone like us, or an older (as in well past 40yo) woman...
btw, have you not caught the recent bit if family plus discount tv spots?
if you have, there a re teen aged girls excited in a a new SS/TC...



I'll give Graham props for having fun with a car he could afford - and from what I've seen he's already done more to his car than most SS owners do...
(I think he's done more than I plan to do)

If his car wasn't so new I'd be all over trying to help him do THIS
...but since his car has VVT all we can do is figure out if there is anything else he can do...
(regrettably, it seems to me that cam swaps is quickly becoming a think of the past)

 

honestly guys it was the best racing at the track all night... even sammy and the boys were getting into those 2 clowns duking it out lol.... they were honestly side by side all night. i truely hope to see the grudge match soon... sometimes it isnt about pure speed. sometimes it is about taking out a bigger motor... i usually feel pretty damn good if i beat a v8 or 6!!!!

 

Hey guys im having issues with my car...
im going to put a link to my post if you guys wana take a look and give some feed back.
