Bah, my friend is posted right now so i cant store my bike at his place, im paying $125 for a heat 5x10 unit to store my bike. Waiting for a reply back from a guy at JTS if he can do my throttle body when i get back in December and still get the deal. I really dont feel like taking the TB off right now and having the truck, non-driveable while im gone, just incase florence needs to move it.
I'll being renting a car and coming to Halifax friday night if anyone wants to meet up and go get some wings.

ill be getting a car from enterprise in fredericton, think they are the only one that i can get a car from cuz im under 25. And im heading to the Timberlea Beverage Room for wings, they are the best. I had to convince Andrew (red turbo), Chad and Rebecca to come out there and once they did, they wanted to meet there again.
perma shine on kempt rd they know there stuff and it is owned by o'regans too
ah ok got my oil rustproofing there... speaking of which i have to pay $40 to have my rustproofing inspected to keep my warranty on the rust guarantee... total B.S. considering if they did miss a spot and it's rusting there isn't much they're gonna do about it anyways... and that stuff is hard to get off so i doubt they need to make sure it's still there... i'll end up paying to have it checked in the end anyways :/
lil update i guess, cars fucked royaly, i have a sticky lifter on start up (second time this happened sense owning the car) blown wheel bearing, blown axel, broke some sensors when wheel liner came flying off, lastnight wasnt my night! ran a 2011 5.0 rustang on highway passed him spinning thru 4th and this **** happens. not impressed!

It's not the cars fault. The wheel bearing in normal wear and tear, the axle blew because you got stick axles(which are tooth picks). Good time to upgrade them
BUT on the plus side, thats the 3rd 12 second car i ran now and beat.
1st was a newer style but old (round head lights) WRX with a new Turbo Built bottom end, tuned and 4" exhaust.
2nd was a 1990 civic hatch with a built 13.0:1 compression B18C5 motor in it (he runs 12.8)
3rd was the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (now not sure if these are 12 second cars, i was told they were.
but again, i cant say my car is a 12 second car because it hasnt been down the track yet, was suppose to run yesterday in Cape Breton, but issues happened, now car is in the air

When ya looking to rent the car, and return etc.. i'll see what i can do for ya bud!
stock 2.2 axels hold up to james 601whp and 580tq, when the wheel liner went it tore the boot. car works amazing now, still needs more tuning, but i hit fuel cut time to time, witch means the car is around the 300whp mark. sense the stock fuel pump is good for 300whp but not sure, car hasnt been on a dyno yet

sounds like a beast chris but ya it probably isn't a 12 second car.. going fast from a roll and having a good powerband at a certain speed doesn't mean the car is fast off the line. naturally the more power you have the harder it is to get good 60ft and launches cuz wheel spin is a bitch and that will kill your ET's.. give it a go next summer and see what happens! 

i hope to run it soon, just dont wanna do it when people around, just like my 1st dyno pull, will be super embarrassed if i launch and something broke, or it stalled lol.
I believe he is trying for this weekend... he just got into NB he said it is freakin hot compare to here...lol I bet
Well alittle update for my car. Yesturday i installed a new Heat Exchaneger pump on my car. Also, on Wednesday, i just got my car back from the garage. I had a new clutch and light weight aluminum flywheel installed. What a huge difference. The car feels faster now then it did 2 years ago. Especially down bottom and up top. The midrange hasn't changed too much. But down low and uptop I can really feel the difference !! Now i have to get my 2.9" pulley on and have someone tune me....
So who in the hrm is doing tunes ?

Cars in the shop today to have my boost issue looked at, theyre also going to look at my brakes and do the power steering recall while its in there. Should be interesting to see what happens.
