introduction

names Simon.
I live in the Ottawa area.

I drive a black 89' GTA with an L98. car is basically stock except the injectors my K&N and the rear end.

don't know what she runs in the 1/4 but I might get those numbers errrr next summer.

I did race my buddies 90' TSi AWD Turbo from a roll and he was falling back a bit so however fast that is. he runs a 14.4 @ ?

my edumakated guess is that I run high 14's

anyways I need to get back to work. lates.

simon.

I'm still a lightweight when it comes to working on my car. for me it was hard enough installing the K&N
oh and a different shift **** too.

if it ever came to a gasket swap I wouldn't have a clue on how to do the job right.

so I hope there's some minds in here that can give educated suggestions

so that I don't kill my poor car.

Welcome man theres a few of us in the OT area. Sometime this fall If you want to take a trip to Luskville (local strip) with me and my bro we could use another fbod. Want to see what my car can do before the winter and after. Theres a place in OT too that does 3 dyno runs + tuning for 60 bucks that I wouldnt mind going to if I ever get around to it.

Hey there fellow OT resident. On the 21st, same day as the big St. T. meet, there's a cruise night at LUSTville. It's usually $10 a car load, run or not. (I have heard it has gone to $15???) Anything can run as many times as you wish. It usually starts after 5-6pm and goes till 11pm. Anyone who isn't going to St. T might wanna try to meet there. Just a suggestion.

if you guys ever end up going down to Luskville while the weathers still nice I'm going with

so send an e-mail to simonriddick@hotmail.com and tell me where to meet and where to go etc

I've never been to a track before so it would be a good learning experience.



and Acceld Z.

I found that redliners.ca isn't filled with technical knowledge and learning that can contribute..... to errr anything whatsoever. I still post there but only to joke around with my friends. and that's what everyone else there seems to do.

there's negativity there towards all cars. someone yells ******t and the other guy yells rice and all goes crazy. it gets boring after a short time.

so I decided to find a board with REAL people on it. and this might be it.

peace!

simon

I checked out redliners to see what I've been missing.... as it turns out, not much. Try-Mule and Flex My Anus seem to be taking over.

Hey Jeff, Paul, & Dave, my pics of the huge "Eastern Region" of the Third Gen community will be ready Monday. I think I was able to get footage of all the cars there, I mean I did have 24 snaps in my camera, so I may have had to snap a couple of the cars in pairs to get shots of all of us. LOL
Maybe another can be held before the summer is completly over. I have heard it's going to be a mild winter, so it may still be a long way off.
