Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

Hey Sonix big thanks for the loan of your tools and manual.

Your bearings to do the intial set up worked awsome as well. Big thumbs up. It only took me 3 trys to set up the back lash and the tooth pattern.

I got the gear set installed and set up all the pre load on the bearings set as well. I'll be setting up the disc brakes on the diff in a few weeks of so.

Also I sand blasted the diff and related parts she will be ready for paint soon.

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

Very cool. You going to paint it yourself?
What gear set did you end up using? and the differential?

I just moved into a new house over in the Penbrooke area. I haven't set up my garage yet (moved in on saturday), but let me know if you're in the neighborhood and want to drop off the parts/manual

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

Hey everyone, i am currently in the midst of bending/installing new aluminum fuel lines and was wondering if anyone has a 37 degree (AN) flaring tool i could borrow for an hour? I am having a hard time justifying the purchase of a $150 tool to do 4 flares.

Much appreciated

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

While i appreciate the suggestion i did recently purchased the above tool. Unfortunately the inexpensive summit appliance is simply an adopted brake-line tool. The result is that the flaring bars serrations, designed to firmly hold steel lines, severly damages soft aluminum tubing. In addition the cone on the tool i recieved from summit has a raw machined finish rather than a polished finish. This creates a slightly rough surface on the inside of the completed flare. I'm generally dissatisfied with the quality of the summit tool and have been looking into ordering the "real" tool from Imperial... but it's pricey.

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

If anyone has a use for these ...

Stock parts to upgrade your 3rd gen front brakes to an LS1 rotor and caliper, here are some base parts to help you convert.

- Stock 3rd gen rotors for making hubs to fit inside an LS1 rotor
- Stock 3rd gen spindles for cutting to fit LS1 calper mounts

I also have the template for the adapter bracket which can be laser cut here in Calgary for like $20, SS is about double the price to get made.

Also have stock A arms if someone wants to rebuild and replace theirs while still driving.

Price - FREE

Come and get'em before the steel yard does...

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

Hey guys still out in St john's, Booked for work in mexico for all of nov on a navy ship 3 engines this time then back to canada in dec and jan in victoria for another canadian coast guard ship.

I ordered up last week a EBLed ecm and a O2 Wide Band from DynamiEFI.

And I guess I'll be ordering the spohn suspension package I got picked out in December.

Right now I am trying to get a hold of some Dyno Don headers and Y pipe but its not looking to good.

You guys got any ideas? I wanna buy em once and thats it. Y has to be 3 inch as I am going with a single 3 inch exhaust magnaflow or Borla.

any input on headers and Y pipe would be great thanks and no cheap stuff.

Jay

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

Wow, your a busy boy Jay ... coming home with a pocket full of money for upgrades hey! Good for you man.

What Spohn parts are you all going with?

Dyno Don's headers are a really nice piece from what I have seen of them. I had the same problems when trying to purchase them. If you are doing some big USA orders you might want to consider shipping them all just south of the border and then picking them up yourself. Check this link out http://www.calgaryfirebirdclub.com/f...read.php?t=578
Let me know if this route interests you, maybe we can do a combo run sometime this winter. (I could use a new rear spoiler and might need a different hood)

If you don't go that route Hooker 2210s with a Mufflex Y pipe and exhaust makes a nice combo. http://www.mufflex-performance.com/fbody_1.html They have quite a few routes you can go with different sizes and outlet options. I know others who will be runnin'em

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

http://www.spohn.net/wishlists/?action=view&wlid=1777

Spohn parts I will get in Dec I still have to tweak it a bit. Next year I'll get the rest of the stuff I want.

The per diem I get in mexico for 30 days will cover most of that.

I'm looking at some options in getting those headers. Fairbanks in Houston may help me out on thier. But if nothing comes up with in the next couple of weeks I'll have to rethink my exhaust.

My time this winter will be short to work on the car but I'll get at her and have her on the road by next summer.

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

WOW thats quite a list

I see Spohn finally makes a LCA with a rebuildable pivot .... nice. That is what I wanted as well but they weren't available at the time, so had to build my own. I really like there stuff, great quality. Man, after checking out your list, now there are a couple more things I am going to need ...

You can get those shocks and all the poly stuff at Mopac here in cowtown for just a little more retail, but works out better in the end after shipping and brokerage ... just an option.

A great place I have found for bolts ... nice bolts, plated, high grades any size you can think of is Quest. They can get you anything you want. Just in case you are looking for that hard to find one. I know I have been there a few times already.

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

Cool I'll keep that in mind on mopaac and quest,

still in the process about the headers from dyno don but am making headway.

Wifey is gone to Canadian tire to buy a mig welder on special. Hopefully I'll have some time to play with it in between the St Johns and Mexico trip

Re: Anyone from Calgary Alberta

EBL and wide band O2 system arrived today at the house. The wife told me it came and she did'nt have to pay any taxes.

When I ordered my gear set from summit she had to pay taxes. Kind of weird not paying this time its like 700 usd of stuff this time
