Thanks so much. Can't wait to see it finished! I'll still probably come by tomorrow night if that's fine. I have mothers day dinner today.

Sorry we had to leave so fast. Traffic sucked anyways haha

I wonder how much of a financial burden to GM Canada my $4,000 in warranty repairs has been. And now they get to pay for a rental for me for another week, and my car sits idle on one of Murray's lifts for 6 days.

Almost like they should have just made the cars better to begin with. Enter: Cruze. Oh wait, aren't their steering wheels falling off?

It's all good... as long as the car makes it to October when my warranty runs out, then I have the summer to work as much OT as I can so I can get a Genesis or something.

less supply + increase demand = higher price! this would be in the case that they won't warranty it but it sounds like you don't have to worry about that

Anyone think I could find an LNF anywhere for $16k or less? I'm thinking not. But I might be in the market.

You could find an LSJ for 10-12 in great condition with low km.

I finally hit the track in Edmonton tonight. First time racing the Balt. Sadly the best time I could get was 14.708 with a 60 foot of 2.484. So lots of room to improve haha. Got my 60 footer down to 2.290 tho. By the end there was only a few cars still racing so I got to do a ton of passes at the end. With a passenger and a heat soaked car I was getting 14.9-15.1 so I'm going to say I improved even with the slower times.

Just looked at my slips. Did 5 passes in 27 minutes at the end. Good fun but poor iat2's and coolant lol

In Edmonton u allowed to r if u r slower than 14 seconds. But i bet u could be faster and have a passenger. They were pretty slack with the rules. People were wearing shorts racing which is also against the rules lol

Yeah I've got my eyes open. Looking for an '07, color doesn't matter and ideally with less than ~80,000 km, G85 doesn't really matter.

First car that comes up on Kijiji fits that description: '07, 70k, $13k... don't think it will be hard to find one.



I am still considering pumping more money into this and getting an LNF. But if I find a cheap LSJ, I'm cashing in.
