In regards to the gas, I've only went to petro can so far but I heard the 94 octane from husky is pretty good, just out of the way to get that one for me and not sure if that extra octane will make much of a difference.
Prob don't need to, he saw no codes when my ECU was plugged back in. The 335 is known to throw all kinds of sh*t.

I more wanted to restart the adpatation.

PM me for some details

Anyone know the roads in the West End?

I will need to bed my brakes and I need to do 30 brake applications from 65km/h to 25 km/h with 0.8 km gaps in applications. Yeah, friggin 30 of them.

I am not sure how I am even going to keep track 30 applications of brakes.

Damn Glenn that sucks, you are going to have to spend most of your night in the M Your going to have to scratch notches into your dash to keep track There are some back roads down 178 ave around 107 street that might work, it is an industrial area.

Now we really need pics of the neez plus the BBK Don't know how I am supposed to compete with that!

Hey do you guys think I should go with 285's in the rear instead of 275's? Only reason I didn't is that there Julius recommended it so I took his word for it.

What is the IND Red E90 machine running?

Edit

The IND machine has 255/30-20 and 285/30-20

Maybe check to see if that size will fit.

My ET at the front is too aggressive (17 mm) so going with the 255 might induce some rubbing and Julius didn't want to do that.

Never, never use Safeway gas, anyone. Damaged my dads car, fouled the plugs. they sell gas that may may meet spec but it is shit gas. Use it for fire starter only. I wouldn't put it in my lawnmower
Wierd, I thought that they sourced their gas from PetroCanada? Petro Canada is listed as Top Tier.

Hmmm, I need to look into the Canada Safeway gas...my dad puts it in his new X3.

Albert, those are absolutely sick wheels. You best be keeping away from Whitemud freeway for the next two years with 20's. Nice stance in those pics.

Glenn, last week I was coming from my practice at about 12:30AM (early Wednesday morning). I was coming SE-bound towards Terwillegar and there was pretty much no one on the road. If it was me (and it will be in about a week), I would head out early in the morning when there is virtually no traffic and then turn on the flashers in the outside lane. The other option which I know is really, really good is to go to the Windermere commercial development off Henday. Take that road towards Terwillegar, going over the bridge and you can basically run that road all the way from Windermere to 23Ave and then head east, or continue North and take it all the way to Whitemud.

Either way, if done late at night, you should have little company.

Problem is you gotta do the brake bedding immed after you install them. So drive out the shop, get the corrosion proof coating off and then start bedding the brakes. So I basically drive out the door at Karmac and start bedding the brakes.

If you don't you'll screw a good set of brakes forever.

I'll drive around Karmac and see what it is like around there.

The 335 snaps necks, the M3 scares children and animals, people run for cover and get the hell out of the way

I am going to have to leave the car at the tinter/shielders tomorrow...no point in driving around on summers with that crap coming down.

Glenn, I am not sure about meeting this Thursday...I had kind of held off to see about my schedule, but I am in late on Wed/Thurs normally and not even sure if I will have the vehicle for Thursday or even the weekend...patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue...
