I think it's just me and you tom lol. Dustin's ZFR isn't on, Matt just dyno'd his at speed factor, mike doesn't fix his car so it will forever knock lol. That's about the main people that lurk this thread.
I still have yet to do any logging and dialling in my car on 26psi. But once I do I'm up to hit the rollers whenever.

Hey!
I'm thinking of making a covert visit to Winnipeg, any ideas of a reasonable price motel to stay at that's in a good area?
At the end of the day driving across town for a hotel is a no biggie to me;
We're thinking of making a short covert visit be cause we would be arriving a couple days before my dad moves from his current house to a retirement residence (of undisclosed locale)... and if we were to announce it to much ahead of time, my step mom might get overwhelmed trying to plan stuff for the same time as their move...
Not that it matter's but my dad's current place nearly backs on to Sask. Ave ~ right by the perimeter;
I suspect their new place will also be on the west side, as that's where they seem to always live (their last three residences in Winnipeg were north of Portage, and the furthest east they have been was on Overdale)...
For the record, I have lived in the NE off of Henderson, and in the SW off of Pembina... but it's been a long time, and it seems like every time I come visit, that the town is getting a progressively 'rougher'... So if I was to bring my wife there for the first time, I'd like for her to have a nice impression of Winnipeg.
Do you guys still meet at the McDink's?

Jon there's a new Hotel 6 and Best Western Plus that just got built not long ago on #1 west right as you are coming in to Winnipeg before you hit the perimeter. If the west side of the peg is where ya want to stick around then I'd suggest either of those hotels.
Mike and I have only gone out once this season for cruise night sadly. Just conflicting schedules. But I'd be down to meet up for a cruise night when you are in town.
Ya tom that works for me. Provided my car is still in one piece I'd like to bolt the slicks on and head to Gimli for some quarter mile action Aug 23rd or 30th if anyone else wants to join. I haven't been to the strip since I first bolted my TVS on. I'm itchin haha.

Anyone have a set of fe5 control arms kicking around? I'm wanting to swap my cabs but I can't have
I car down for very long. Do the easiest way would be to "borrow" someone used control arms and return my used ones. Just a shot in the dark.

My buddies 1999 Trans am (custom professional built motor) is up for sale. I love this car and am very tempted to sell the balt and try to buy it. It is freakin loud and fast freak of nature. He has some major bills to pay so it forced his hand to sell it. He hope it goes to someone who will appreciate the work done to it.

Well I'm caving. 91 octane with my set up is just ****. Timing has been a problem since day one and it just gets worse and worse as I've upped the boost. So my meth kit is going back in. Not gonna go crazy with it. Just a 7gph nozzle and a bit of timing the car deserves. Taylor and I have a possible fail safe if the meth quits we can build in the tune but not 100% sure if it will work. Time will tell.
