edmonton and area riders

[02dime]

hey guys since the last thread is gone i thought we needed another one, need to keep in touch to see whats new and for info on summer cruises and meets

[sonomaguy]

OK, what are your plans for the summer in regards to meets and are you planing on going out of town for anything. I'ld like to do a little more traveling this summer to meets just to see different trucks and meet different people. Unfortunately, I am not always great at conversation starting so sometimes it's a little hard for me, but I still want to try. Gotta conquer those fears.

[02dime]

defiently i wanna go to B.C and south to calgary to check out the scene,i plan on doing alot more this summer than i did last,i was too busy working,now the truck will be lookin good i might even enter a couple shows for fun

[Crazy_C]

Im down for a Calgary meet after May when my trucks back together

[lowriderbowtie]

Id be down for a calgary meet
if there was going to be a decent turn out

[sonomaguy]

The meets used to be pretty good. A lot of the guys are rebuilding still. Hopefully they'll be back in full swing this year.

[dc395]

hey i gotta get in on this, i still gotta start tearing into my s10 so its good to go in the spring but ill be down for some serious cruises this year! and steve you just need a sign for shows that says "hi my name is steve, im kinda shy, come talk to me about anything s-series!"

[sonomaguy]

Hey Darren, the more the merrier. Let me know when you would like some help with your truck, they may be something I could do. I'll have to get a shirt made up or something. Say, what's with the s-series outside the body shop. The black one and the second gen without windows.

[rentedmule]

I'd at least be up for a cruise around town some time. I rarely get to talk trucks to someone who actually cares. anyone on here have a good looking white extreme stepside that's often parked on 64th ave? it's always right in front of my house and it looks like someone loves it!

[02dime]

so does anyone have makeover plans for there ride,im putting on an X kit,stepside shavers,white faced gauges,hopeing i can glass in a 7" screen in dash,sand and paint interior,cavy buckets, upgrade my sound system,a hood,drop kit and of course 18" boss 304's let me know what your plans are before summer

[dc395]

well my s10, i really gotta get a start on it, its dropped 2/3 over the zq8 and has ss mirrors. but i plan to paint it, bag it, front end swap, cowl hood, put a sunroof in it if i can find one and put in buckets and a console for spring haha

[rentedmule]

I have a pile of parts in my garage right now that i'm putting on before spring. zq8 coils and 2" blocks, intake, trans am wheels with 245/50's, a corvette servo. Also shopping for a supercharger if i can find one for the right price and i'll likely put in a transgo shift kit over the next 6 months. Since i picked up the truck last summer I've swapped in power leather seats and a console and got a used hypertech PP3.

[fox23]

i drove my truck around the block yesterday and again today after wrapping up the rear bag install, still need to tie up some loose ends, fix some leaks, and put the bed back on... but it was awesome

[02dime]

thats big ballin,so you plan to take it out of town for shows and trips,its gonna be a good summer

[fox23]

yea for sure man. im not guna be working on it in summer at all, except maybe paint. so i should be driving it for the majority of the time as a DD.

[02dime]

you know it once the truck is out of the garage the camaro is going in for a makeover,hopefully im buying a house with a 2 bay garage,so they can both be parked for winter

[fox23]

i was planning on rippin around in my truck tomorrow just for fun. but it snowed today and melted and made a huge mess. kinda makes me mad but whatever i guess. for another day..

[02dime]

has anyone dynamated there truck yet,i just started it took 26 sq ft and i need at least another 50 sq ft and this stuff isnt cheap cost $211 for 26 sq ft,just looking for feedback or opinons

[sonomaguy]

I did mine and I think it only took about 60 square feet. I guess it could have been close to 70 but I barely tapped into the second role.

[02dime]

did you notice a big difference with just the road noise,im doing it for that reason and for my system im going to put in,i swear this stuff must have gold nuggets in it for the what they charge for it

[sonomaguy]

Not really, but I didn't do it all at once. I did it in steps since I couldn't have my truck down for that long. I think it is somewhat quieter though.

[sonomaguy]

If it hits +10 saturday like they say, anyone want to get together somewhere. It's possible I may have to work but we can see what we can work out. Maybe at Millwooods town center where they usually have the summer meets. Then we can pop into Wendy's for a bite or warm up if it's too cold.

[02dime]

i wish im in fort mac till next thursday,i cant wait till summer

[bdydrgns15]

snow is melting quickly!!! I also can't wait for summer...

I did my doors with two layers and it stopped all the rattles from my speakers/sub. Ebay is your friend with dynomat.

[2.5FearFactory]

w00t...anyone in here up around the Grande Prairie area? That's where I'm gonna be as of May 1...will hang out w/ you Edmonton ppl for sure!

[02dime]

i know there was one guy from grand prairie on my camaro forum that said he was going to come hang out,so what brings you to alberta

[02dime]

oh yeah,on my next days off i take my baby to go get the X kit and step shavers painted and installed im so pumped up,ill post pics when completed and i did the cavy seat swap its big ballin

[rentedmule]

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a used powerdyne S/C kit installed in Edmonton - preferrably around the Southgate area but I don't care too much as long as it's a reputable shop and it won't cost a fortune. I could probably get most of it on myself but I'm not keen on getting the fan off or doing the FMU. thanks for the help!

[Crazy_C]

Since it's getting to look like the snow "might" be gone for good in the next month, I ask when are all the people in the greater calgary area goin to meet up and have so nice cruises. The ricers @beyond.ca forums are planning one for next month and i think we need to represent. Just a thought add and of your own please thanks guys
