Who have we got?

 

2 for sure myslef and 1986z28 owner

 

Make sure you guys are ready for the 5th annual Calgary Firebird show and shine. Its May 31 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. Round everyone up and come out!!

 

thats what I was getting at....eventually

Apparently there was an Edmonton Firebirdclub...but I am doubting if its still around.

 

i got 3 on the go mine is getting t56,edlebrock heads,cam,stealth ram,and black interior. so hope to have it ready or will take one of the black 91's
luke

 

im now motivated to get my snowbank done, and the engine for my snowbank built so i can drive it down there! sanding body parts as we speak, does it need to be one color to come? =P

 

I figured that was the direction you were headed

Talked to my Bro-inlaw and his buddy with the Camaro I was tellin you about and they are both interested. They are lookin into getting the days off........Now if you make it rain again Im gonna be pissed


Either way......we arent fussy


Nope dosent matter to me what color it is.....Nothing wrong with a diamond in the rough

 

as it sits 305 is coming out, heads off 305 are going to driver101 (edelbrock centerbolts) then in goes vortec headed 355 tpi
(its getting pulled from winter hibernation in this pic) i know, i should be shot for letting it see snow, but i dont have a garage!

 

well it seems to rain every other year.....so we should be good to go this year

 

Bueller...

Gotta be more guys from Edmonton than this

 

yeah I thought Edmonton was a big car place.....

 

Eco-friendly tree huggers I guess

 

i work for mopac, i speak from experience that most(apart from the few) of the people i sell parts to for these cars are inbred hillbillys, ex a customer of mine bought a golen 383 shortblock, bought some nice dart heads, and then proceeds to put a completely stock TPI setup on top of it, talk about a bottle neck. I need just a few more small things then i can put my car together. i see no problems with having my 91 done for may 31, if not, il drive one of driver101 cars down there haha

 

Those are the ones Calgary kicks out....Mikes on the short list

 

you guys all going to be there on may 31? do i have to pre register anywhere, any entrance fee? when does it start?

 

Im positive I wont be working by then so work isnt going to keep me from being there. Im not sure on the details for the show n shine.....Mike will have to let us know. Im still trying to decide what car Im going to bring.

 

Sounds like a trip i would enjoy.

 

There's a thread above in the sticky section for Edmonton members, it would give you a better idea of who's around in that area. There's also a Calgary sticky too.

 

half the guys in edmonton never seem to want to go on a cruise
this thread is working.

 

I'm in Edmonton, but my almost-entirely-still-stock IROC is currently parked waiting for me to spend some quality time with it.

 

I'm still crying over seeing that picture! I'm lucky enough that I just keep mine in the garage beside the winter beater. Then when summer rolls around I put the winter beater outside so the Camaro can have the whole garage.



I'm not sure when I'll get mine out this year, the city says the streets won't be finished being swept until June.

Tyson are you gonna bring your tta???

 

Still undecided as of yet Jarred. If there is a cruise after the show I will probably bring the GTA as the TTA isnt registered. You gonna make this one this time?

 

yeah I might set up some kind of cruise after....well I was thinking that anyhow.....

 

Is this show open to Camaro's as well as Firebirds? I live in Calgary and just finished my 91 Z28 Convertible, and live very close to the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. Would love to take it out that day.

 

yes, to all cars.

The almost as good looking sister, the Camaro, is very welcomed to attend. We should have quite a few of those at the show.

 

Will a swing through "show girls" parking lot be part of the cruise......

 

if you tell me what that is!

 

Sheesh.... What I meant to say was French Maid

 

When and where do we have to register for the deerfoot inn & casino camaro/firebird meeting?

 

Show starts at 10am. Just drive in and pay ($10 all money to the Childrens Wish foundation) to get registered.

Hope to see you there

youll have to talk him into that!

 

Just a heads up for any locals looking to get some tuning / engine work done on your cars/trucks. Exercise EXTREME caution or completely avoid dealing with

Martin Gausvik @ AFI Performance in Edmonton.

Martin promised me 800 WHP in my Escalade. I gave him a cheque for $20,000 and my Suburban. He was to order a 3.3L Whipple supercharger, an FLT Stage 5 4L80E, all parts required to stroke the trucks 6.2L to 418 cubic inches. Wheels, Tires, Suspension. etc. All this work was to be completed by September 2008.

What do I have to show for our plans? A beat up suburban, which he returned after driving it for 6 months and a $20,000 lighter bank account. He ordered NONE of the parts and when I asked for my money back he says, "I might take me a little while to come up with that kind of money".

 

You should probably consider legal action

 

Are you guys planning on going to calgary tommorrow? if so when and where?

Jarred

 

ive got mine 90% done and running, drove it home tonight, but would rather have any potential issues/bugs happen close to home rather than 3-4 hours away, since the engine is fresh. hopefully make it there next year

 

I am banging my head against the wall Really sorry to hear that no one is coming. Largest gathering of Firebirds in Canada. Stuff happens I know.

 

Wheres the best place to get an engine built you guys?
