I am in the same boat bro! At least you have towns around where you live......Fort Mac has.......NOTHING.

 

What's everyone's opinion on Davenport in Calgary? They have a dyno. On a side note, my dad just did a complete rebuild on his Camaro from there and seemed pretty happy.

 

^^^ ive heard great things about davenport but be prepared to pay $$$.....

 

We have towns? I don't know of any that have anything in them. We don't have a whole lot here. Tuner cars are considered a joke here lol.

 

ya davenport is good but expensive. we deal with a bunch of the cars they have built.

 

Haha. Yup. That camaro had every edelbrock part out of the catalogue (except the carb) and some one-off stuff. Watch out for a 450whp 85 Camaro cruising the streets soon. That's right....I said 85.

 

theres lots.

 

It is the same here. Fort Mac is TRUCK town.

 

even if your car is fixed by then, would it even turn the drums? oh snap!

 

We will see who's laughing when I keep your wideband and get that stage kit.

 

**** im sorry! i didnt mean it like that!! haha

 

Whoa! Lol

anyone know of any others?

 

wtf. Where did you hear that davenport is good? All I've ever gotten when calling there is nasty attitude like they don't want any business...

 

Ya, that's why i asked what people think. I've heard a wide variety of mixed reviews from people.

 

No, speedtech doesn't have one. THey don't do auto, They just sell parts to their ricer friends. AnOTHer place that doesn't seem to sound like they want any business when you call them...

I'm not sayin I know, I just know that if I got a different response from them when calling about certain stuff, they would be several hundred dollars richer now...

 

There is a dyno here in GP at OK Tire but no one knows how to run it lol. The last guy that ran it quit because all the guys who dynoed on it bitched him out and said he didn't know what he was doing. I don't know if it's true or now, probably just guys who are pissed about there numbers. Just thought it was funny.

But ya, GP is a truck town too. If it ain't diesel then it's junk lol

 

Let me give you an example. I wanted to get my remote start installed by them in the Cobalt originally. I made a booking with them and told them I was coming from out of town etc. No problem they said.

So I dropped the car off to them and started walking to the C-train which is at least 15 blocks away from them. Well by the time I got to the C-train they phoned me to tell me that they would not be able to do my car that day because the Honda dealership had a couple of cars that had to be done.

Needless to say I lost it when I went back to pick up my car. And I will NEVER take my car their to have work done or tell anyone else to do so.

 

^^Damn, gotta hate when that happens!!

 

Best part is pulling on someone who thinks that their truck is faster then my car.

 

Ya I like that part too. Just sitting at a stop like and having a guy in a big liffed truck laughing at the car, then smoke them. But those diesels are no joke lol. They can really pack a punch.

 

Oh yeah for sure. There are some up here running 600+ hp and some god awful amount of tourque.

 

ooo i love diesels who are "chipped"

i swear some of those chipped guys think it adds 500hp

if they really knew what those chips are doing they'd **** themselves.

 

My Dad has one on his Duramax but it is used a lot for towing so he only did the Stage I upgrade with the chip to help with towing the big 5th wheel trailer, and it made a big difference. We can drive it down the highway at 120 and have no problems with passing or going up hills.

 

yup i have no doubt they make a difference.

but so do canned tunes for the cobalt.......*cough*
