Looks great, Dustin, can't wait to see it in person. Now how about some pics of the shiny bits underneath! (when you get it back)

Update: saw Dustin's car last night, it runs great (though not always in a straight line, haha!). Cam at Lightspeed was kind enough to put up with us playing cars in his shop til like 1 a.m.

I'll let the other boys post up any interesting facts from last night's work, but I will say Sean's (Karma) BO coupe is looking very very nice after a lil work over the winter. I'm kicking myself I didn't take any pics of it!!!

One thing I can share is that when I wasn't looking, Dustin and Gord (Sylvan Lake V35) started wrenching on my car, next thing I know there's a Skunk2 spacer on it!! But I caught them in the act...(Dustin looks very guilty, don't ya think?)



To be honest, Gord simply pestered me til I let him make Dustin do it. Between the spacer and the Stillen exhaust, the ole sedan is breathing pretty well now, at least according to a couple of runs on the butt dyno.

Big thanks to Sean and Dustin for stopping in Edmonton and picking up a part for me, and for some other goodies from Dustin to be named later.

Hope you guys all had a safe trip home.

Damn, I should have been there to run interference and keep you occupied with something else.

Guilty? ..... more like bringing you into the reality of real performance. I'd like a picture of what you looked like during the test drive

I did peer pressure you into that spacer the price was right and I wasn't using it so why not. Dustins car had some sick numbers post your big bragging graph Dustin.

He let me take it on the Lightspeed 1/4mile it might even be as fast as mine was last year

It was a good little get together I still think the G/Z guys in Alberta are some of the best car guys I know. I should have given you a call Lloyd I didn't find out till Friday afternoon everyone was coming down.

Something like this:

Dustin's test drive was WAY more interesting than mine, though!

Cam wanted to dyno it before & after, which would have been interesting but since it's auto, a pain in the **** to dyno, and it was already after 11:00 pm, we said screw it, just put it in and call it good. I'm pretty happy.

Dustin, post up those numbers!
