You bet!! What year and color of car do you drive? Any mods yet?

I own a black SS S/C with HID's and projector lamps and some other mods. I have "LLP" on my license plate and live up in the Thickwood area.

Well I am already permanent with Syncrude, but I do know that DG gets some KICKASS wages. What would I have to do to become a contractor and work through DG? I put my resume in a year or so ago with DG but nothing ever came out of it.

You can PM me instead of us yapping about it on here if you want, or send me an email at doublelp@shaw.ca

i'll email you tomorrow, but if u wanted to become a contractor all it really takes is for u to talk to ur company (syncrude) and basically if they are ok with it we just put you on the pay roll and vola but be aware you would be giving up your benefits. either way we'll chat more tomorrow via email.

Nice!

They tried to get my Compustar remote starter done but they could not put it in my car....they were having problems getting the bypass module to work with the car....after 4 tries they told me that it would probably be best to go somewhere else and get it done.

They were really nice about it and tried really hard to get it to work......but for some reason the '07s are harder then the '06s. So I am taking it to Auto Dream in Calgary on Sept. 11th when I get back from my vacation out east in Quebec.

So any mods on the "want to do" list?

I "want to do" the Stage II upgrade. And probably a suspension drop as well. But that won't be until 2008.

I'm here from Fort McMurray! Black SS/SC -- it's 2 weeks old and I'm already having problems with it. Stalls often for no apparent reason, even at highway speed. I got it in Edmonton but it's going into AMP tomorrow. I am *not* pleased....

Probably just needs a reflash. But keep us informed on what it is! And welcome to CobaltSS.net!! Do you have the lowrise wing or the regular SS S/C wing?

I hope those are winter tires that you are putting on.

I hope so and thanks! I'm thinking maybe a sensor also? I took it into AMP this morning. Anyway if its an electronic thing presumably they can put it on a scanner and figure it out. It didn't have an appointment, etc., etc., but I gave them a two-pager describing all the things that ever happened in the 2 weeks I've had it. They said they couldn't look at it today, so hopefully they'll look at it this week. I got it from Nicholson in Edmonton. I love my car though. It's black on black, low-rise spoiler (same as G5) , everything's stock. Doesn't have the LSD/Recaro pkg. but I bought it more for passing and dealing with traffic in Fort McMurray. It's awesome! Do you live in Abasand? That's where I am.

I live up in Thickwood actually up by the arena.

AMP is so backed up that hopefully they will be able to get to your car soon and get it fixed for you sooner rather then later.
