welcome to the site.

outside of this thread there are many trouble makers here who like to look for reasons to flame... but in here it's pretty good;
this is undoubtedly the best forum/thread I've ever come across that is all Albertians/Calgarians...

Mark, thanks for the invite, and the great food!!

Just call me at work when you get the DP, and we'll take it from there.

Well guys, I had to duck out from Mark's place at just after 8pm(iirc) - I had to go home in leau of the threat of snow;
I have had the outer layer of windows off the front of my house all summer, but with the threat of snow, I needed to get them back on... and thankfully I finished about half of an hour ago...

Speaking of that, Kasper's comment. I just need a little help guys preferably someone with electrical experience. So I decided to put a tachometer (rpm gauge) and a water temp gauge. Please don't make fun of me for deciding to put these gauges on my car, I have my reason. I know the car already has an rpm gauge and a digital engine coolant gauge.

Anyways, I have the tachometer hooked up to one of the wires on my coilpack but it's only reading half the rpm. I research this on the internet and someone was saying to put a resistor in it. I went to radio shack and got a resistor and tried this and still didn't work.

Also the water temp gauge, I can't seem to figure out where to put this temp sensor too. I even went to Auto Value and the guy there didn't know either. But gave me pics to locate the stock engine coolant temp sensor. I also research this on the net, and someone was saying to splice into the stock temp sensor until you get a signal. Is this a good idea because I also read this on the net. That this will give you CEL and I don't want to **** up anything on my car. Since this is my only mode of transportation. Also read that if you cut on top of your radiator hose put a adapter (new temp sensor) and clamp it on both sides would work. But also read that this will give you a leak.


Any help would be appreciated guys, only 1 wire left for each gauge. And everything else is working fine. Thanks

P.S. Sorry for the late comment, can't sleep.

Hey guys, I just figured I'd post up here asking for help.

I am trying to compile full SS/Sport production numbers with breakdowns by model year as well as model year/colour

eg:
2007 SS/SC total
2007 SS/SC all colours
2007 SS/2.4 coupe total
2007 SS/2.4 coupe all colours
2007 SS/2.4 sedan total
2007 SS/2.4 sedan all colours

LINK

if your model or colour doesn't have a bolded number behind it, can you please email me (via link in my profile) your vin?

Thanks!

Is there chicken and rice still left over?

@superman

come on spill the beans - why are you adding two redundant gauges?!?

just for show?
aftermarket tack w/shift light??

If I were to add any gauge, it would be an oil pressure gauge - one of the more important factors for an engine, but one that is curiously lacking on our cars... not even the RPD shows this...

jrmotosports 88

god we have so much left overs lol graham... everything is still leftover!!!!! lol

hey everyone! I know i'm not from calgary, but there is nobody else on this site from the hat. and this is the closest place! My cars gone for the winter but come spring time it would be great to know when you guys have some meets or get togethers so I can meet some people from the site!

hey man, i'm originally from the hat. Family still lives there (although in the process of movin to lethbridge..) and gf is there so I am in the hat pretty often. What you drive? maybe i've seen it, i remember seein an ss with cobaltss.net on it, think it was red but cant remember.

soundjunky

iTrader: (4)

welcome here!!

yeah it seems like the Lethbridge guys occasionally post here too - the more the merrier.

maybe if Race Ctiy goes to the crapper, you can be our "inside guy" keeping us up to date on MHDRA!

I could do that! my father is a past president of MHDRA. I know everyone out there so I know all what goes on. I hope race city doesnt go down.

I have a sunburst orange SS/SC. theres the red one with the black wheels here in the hat with the ss.net stickers but he doesnt come on the site. he bought the car from a member that bought stickers. mines sunburst orange with chrome wheels, lowered, and white ss.net stickers on the back side windows.

with the sole mayoral candidate who clearly would have backed RC comming in 2nd place, things are unsure over here...
one thing that is sure though, we have one more year, then if the city doesn't back motorposrts, we're screwed...
(apparently zoning for a track is alot tougher than most think)

our next closest tracs are either MHDRA, or Castrol;

MHDRA: 2300ft
Castrol: 2210ft

Race City: 3380ft

It would be great to see some more balts come down to the hat to race! I'm trying to get a sport compact night added to the schedule next year to see how it'll go over. I'll keep you guys posted to see what the interest of it would be!

unfortunately IMHO Cobalt guys seem to be flaky at best (sorry guys it's the truth);
I tried to get a whole bunch of up to meet up at Race City earlier this year, and I think I had a list of like twenty people who said they were coming;
Less than ten showed up.

Would suck if that was the case. But I would love to see some more people here! I know I'll be in calgary quite a few times next summer. All of my family lives there and I love the calgary scene in genereal!

ya its tough to always get people together and all show up, but im sure if we had 10 trip to med hat for a weekend, it would still be a pretty good time and scene...
