Here's another one. I am starting up an EFI based tuner club any day now that will be based around my new company AFI performance. If anyone want's to get in on it please feel free to email me at Kgausvik@sprint.ca.
I already have a few members and would really like to see this thing expand.

Hey Tony,

Right now I am just starting up my business small time to establish a specific market. I will not post any information on my company to avoid any problems with the web site at this time, but I do invite you and anyone else to contact me for club information, or just to get some advise on your car.

I am first and foremost a camaro lover, and would rather get a gathering together for our cars than client's anyday.

Take care,

Martin Gausvik

We can use all the camaros we can get in Edmonton to keep the Stangs at bay, it is good to see you are returning. Your info says you run a 383, is it EFI or carbed?

Once you get the car up you should swing by the shop and take a peek at some of the cars, and check out the new Hi-tech facility that specilizes in our vehicles of choice.

Later,

Another Edmonton body here. Keep an eye out for my Dirty Bird, looks like black primer glossed up with shoe polish!

I hope to make it to the track this summer too, got there once last year for three runs. Good, legal fun.

Well, I am just working out details on a space located on 75th street on the south side. Damn, real estate agents are screwing me around something crazy. I am planning the grand opening to be at the powerama this year, I already have all the tuning software, and a brand new dynojet chassis dyno waiting for a place to sit.

Keep an eye out for my booth, it will have some of the vehicles I have built so far, a 1987 Z28 that is procharged and N20 injected plus every possible upgrade immaginable, a 2000 Ram air T/A that has all suspension upgraded sitting on 18 inch custom forged wheels, and running a heads and cam 480 horse package, and a 2001 silverado Z71 with a supercharged 409 stroker motor that rips off 11 flats and 0-60's in 2 seconds flat.

Just brought my Camaro out from a long slumber. Most of the cars meet up on 137 Ave by A&W. Dončt see a lot of thirdgens though, I think it would be great to get the thirdgen's out in force. Anyone else have a meeting place please post.:rockon:

The yellow Z is almost complete, I am just finishing up a few details but it should be out in a week or two. I always find myself building customers cars and running out of time to finish my own projects .

I am going to try and make it out for the street legals this weekend and run the silverado, if anyone from the Edmonton area sees me out there say HI. I will be at the track and on white ave with a couple customer cars, one being a super raunchy sounding black 2000 SS, and the other an equally phsyco sounding silver 2000 T/A in case you spot them.

As far as the gathering thing goes, once the season and weather progresses I will be calling all cars for some sort of dyno/car show/ gathering to get everyone that is interested in the F-bodies aquainted. Please let me know if you are interested via e-mail or posting, and I will be sure to contact you when plans are made.

Tis the season to get the cars out, so lets see if we can actually get somewhat of an F-body community together.

Later,

Hey man, long time no talk.

You're still going on the 3rd Gen? I was wondering why I haven't seen it at the track.

Hey Trevor,

Yeah it has been a while! How is the camaro holding up? My new performance company has really taken off in the last while and kills a lot of my hours required to get the car finished up. I have also been building up a personal supercharged 409 stroker 2001 silverado 4x4 that took most of the winter to complete.

You should swing by the shop for a wobly pop and some one of these nights.

Later,

Martin

Is that the Z71 that you had last year with the nice sound system you supercharged?

Definetely have to stop by the shop - I loved the few rides I got in your heads/cam Formula, I can imagine what the truck would be like! What's the address?

No it is actually a short box step side that is lowered on twenties and all kinds of other junk. If you enjoyed the firebird you should hit the bank and buy it off me, I am putting it up for sale soon .

You should see if you can make it out tonight, the weather is kick *** and I am going to be testing out a newly completed Ram Air T/A that a customer had me modify from top, to bottom, from the engine, all the way back to the diff, and everything suspension in between.

My current short term place is out in Ardrossan so I would have to give you directions rather than an address to make it easier to find. I have been going through all kinds of realestate woes trying to get my new building built in Edmonton, but it looks like I can finally start to give out the address. The developer garantees in writing completion at the very latest to be Sept.1, 2004.

The new location of AFI Performance will be on the corner of 43rd street and 82 Ave.

Here is a pic of the new truck:

Hey, I thought I would stop by and say Hello.

I recently moved back here and was looking at stuff in the "chuck for the third gens. Hopefully, I'll see a few of you around town.

Cheers!

That is my car. So far, I have kept things cosmetic. New Carmine Endura paint, redone leather interior, stereo system, basic K&N, !CAT, !AIR, plugs, wires, blah blah blah. I am saving the radical stuff for when the engine actually dies. It is still running too well to kill it, and this was my daily driver until I bought my Avalanche.

However, I think my 700R1 just blew. It won't shift until you rev it to about 4500, and then it shifts HARD. It may be the governor, but I think the clutch has finally gone. 300K later, one would expect this.

I have really avoided Fu(#*ing up the car with silly fins and overpowered stuff. I prefer a clean aerodynamic look, and with the Cd on the IROC hovering around .29, why screw with it?

After that, suspension and handling mods are in order. Last will be the engine, unless it dies or I come across a great Edmonton rebuild shop with a deal too good to pass up.


So, it has gone from this years ago (before I left for Houston)



to this...
