The Official Edmonton and Area chat thread!!!
I have to ask, why did you limit the fuel to 133km/h? I realize under "normal" driving circumstances you would only need that much, but what if she were on a 2 lane highway, tried to pass a semi and cut it close, needing the extra power to make the pass? I haven't done this myself, but I've personally seen instances where a stupid pass has caused people to need to go over 150km/h an hour to not be hit head on...
Just sayin...

there is no real reason to exceed 130+.
likely gonna switch the naws over to the supercharged camaro.
slicks are for sale on kijiji.
she wants to race it, but if i slow the car down a bit to -hi 13's. , it will last her much longer without repairs. the new noise laws may force the removal of header/dp, and with that come afr and egt guage removal. the final configuration of the car is still up in the air, but i have so many parts for it, so we have options. over the next few moths, i will be teaching her to tune it. by the time she is 18, she will have total control over the car and its systems. right now she owns the car as a stage 2/corsa. i own the mods. it was in our contract. once i decide what is coming off the car, i will resell what i wont be re-using.
the car finally saw a bit of winter this year for the first time, and just hit 20,000 kms. 2000 kms on a fully forged motor. it shouldnt break.
she was getting us slurpees. she is already tired of ppl wanting her to streetrace,
i encourage her to purge a tad of naws, and roll away slowly lolol.

So I'm guessing April 30th? Kinda like to.. but my clutch is starting to slip quite a bit in the higher gears.. gotta wait a bit yet before I can replace it. Think it'd survive a couple blasts down the track or what? lol
what size rims they for do they come on rims would they fit a lowered balt

I've only had GMS1 for about a month now and I'm at 23,500km...the clutch still feels brand new for me though. You must have been a lot harder on your car than I have been on mine...I kinda baby it most of the time.
Stock clutch won't cut it when the torque goes above 345 which I am.. ppl said they smelled my clutch at the track last year lol.. guess thats why =p I'm not that hard on the car but it pulls pretty damn hard.. lights up the tires in 2nd gear just by stepping on it anywhere between 25 and 40 mph. Put the boost tubing in it last weekend and its stronger, but the clutch is slipping more lol.. i have an rpd and i can see the power drop at some point when it happens, even if it still feels like its grabbing good. Not too terrible in 2nd, but 3rd, I can't go full throttle at 40 mph or it sounds like the tires spinning, but its actually the clutch.. not noisewise I mean, but rpm wise.
And yes.. I am Hptuned. 11k miles, so about 17k kms.
I'll most likely be ordering a stage 4+ clutch from ZZP within the next month if all goes well.

Hmm.. well that Exedy is about $1k - $1.1k in the States!! I'm pretty sure it won't be cheaper here lol.. could check into it tho I suppose. ZZP's is around $750 UsD but we're on par now, so it's a good time to get auto parts! 
Still pulled 2-3 cars on a GT/CS Mustang in about 4 seconds from 40-120 km/hr lol embarrassed him pretty badly and he thought he was all so big n bad, gonna beat up on a 4 cyl slowbalt!

Anybody go street legals last night and anybody going to Uc tonight? I'll at least take a couple of laps around to see what's going on, but it'd be nice to hang with some peeps i know, or at least kinda know lol
I'll be at the UC meet. I'll probably get there around 8:30 or so, I'm gonna park near the tim hortons.
wazzn't me, my car has been stripped to a stage 2 + gmpp car, and has been sold to the daughter now.
any parts that dont sell, will be given to her for her 18th b-day. i think the naws will fit nicely in my camaro. looking for upwards of 700 hp. i would like to see mid 11's on street tires.
you really need slicks/mounts, axles, if you wanna be Da King.
