Ya you met Mitch, lol!
Welcome to the lounge, and I recommend swifts for springs.

instroke · 06-02-2014, 08:52 PM

ok I got the Swift on order - w/spc rear camber arms and h&r 15/20 spacers. Some of the guys have been saying - after the install it takes some time for the springs to settle... any idea how long this will take?

I think I read somewhere - u guys meet up on Tuesday nights? at Timmy's Namao? Is this still happening? thxs

wheee! · 06-02-2014, 09:42 PM

The springs settle pretty quick. I hope you ordered toe bolts too. You need to adjust toe when you change your camber settings.

Meetings have been sporadic lately. Next meet is at the Z Car Club meeting this Thursday night. Google Edmonton Z Car Club for directions!

Or better yet come out for the RCEME car show on the base this Saturday.

There is the Z Car club like mark said, there is also friday night street legals at castrol that I sometimes go to (its $30 bucks to run your car down the track), there is usually a whole wack of cars at the united cycle/tims on calgary trail during the evenings on the weekends. There is also a big alberta G/Z group that does cruises usually about 2/3 times a year.

Alberta, and specifically Edmonton is usually pretty busy with car stuff during the summer months.

It was nice meeting you.

Mitch

Speaking of Street Legals at Castrol.... I have two sets of four Box Seats up for auction at the Car Show courtesy of JB Automotive! Come watch the action in style!

Mitch - how did you do on the Dyno?

instroke · 06-08-2014, 12:23 AM

Thumbs up today Mark!

for hosting this event! Great job - and it was good to see everyone today and their rides - it's nice that the 370z platform has so many exterior options - and you can truely make it your own.

Coming from the Genesis platform the 370Z is refreshing - and I am gonna luv modding my ride. I wanted to stick around and see Mitch kill that dyno and see the Tank demolishing the caravan - but wanted to beat the storm clouds home, but found myself driving thru it anyways on the drive home.

a couple of the guys from Genesis club - asked why a 370? - I said - look at these 370's... and if you drove one - you'd understand. + knowing that James/Mitch are trapping 120's helps too.

instroke · 06-10-2014, 11:52 PM

Anyone know any decent Body/paint shops on the northside or westend?

edconline · 06-10-2014, 11:55 PM

Ask Mark. He just had his done, but I can't remember if it was north side.

wheee! · 06-11-2014, 07:21 AM

Depends on what you're having done. I went to Eastwood. Pm me for more details.

Lol. Well when it started raining the lady with the dyno said that they were done for the day, so I took off. Turns out she lied and they finished the cars.

O-well. I wasn't to happy with their organization skills, you think having a mobile dyno they would have had a tried and true game plan. I guess not.

Crappy - yeah I agree it seemed disorganized. I would have liked to jump on that dyno too - but nervous giving my keys to someone else. lol

Was looking for a body shop - just to paint a front lip. But I think I found a place.

Rec'd something from Kami-speed - a half shipment lol. Here is the pic...now I won't feel so out of place - since I won't be stock anymore... lol Still long way to go...

wheee! · 06-12-2014, 07:16 AM

Make sure you transfer the plastic coil inserts from the stock springs onto your swifts. It stops the coils from squeaking.

I don't have this issue even though that part wasn't transfered.
