Hello,

No $$$ House reno's

Anyone in the GTA?

Anyone in the GTA?

Yep! I'm near newmarket. you?

Right now? Watching Barrett Jackson & waiting for Christmas dinner...

Started the T/A last night for a few minutes, I'd say I can't wait for the snow to leave, but we have none here in NB, so I guess I can't wait for it to warm up so I can drive again...

Anyone in the GTA?

mississauga here

holed up in the shop for a few more months?

yep mines all packed away in the garage.. last week i pulled it out and did some donuts in the snow on my driveway. my garage is on a bit of a slope, it took me like 10 tries to get it back in. haha it was definitely worth it though :)

Windsor area and the bird is sleeping for 3.5 more months. LOL

Anyone in the GTA?

yup...and she doesnt hibernate either :D

Toronto here;

As long as the roads are dry, the Z28 gets some action during the winter.

Salt is not an issue. I've found that the spray-on truck bed liner from Canadian Tire makes for an awesome DIY undercoating. No visible rust what-so-ever on the chassis after 14 years. :)

In Ottawa.

Wintertime = fulltime work & fulltime University. Car is tucked away, and conveniently for sale to fund a C5 Z06.

i'm still out.. i even saw a lamborghini yesterday.

i tell the wife, you know you really have money, when you can drive it like you stole it, and then buy a new one.

The TA is put away for the winter,and I am hybernating too.

Oh, yes it is. Salt spray is getting in where you can't see it. Until it bubbles out to where you can see it.

Winter mods nearly done. :devil:

Live in Port Credit Ontario (Missisauga on the lake), work in Kitchener.

P.S winter sucks.. I store the car up at my parents (Shelburne On) and I went up last weekend, put some fuel stabalizer in it, and idled it for 10-15 min to get it nice and warm..sounds so mean, (compared to my Civic Daily Driver haha).

I wanna see how good she hooks with the new meats...at least we all can say the cars coming out THIS year now :)

Good to see some Ottawa people on here... New to the f-body and looking forward to seeing some around this summer

Brampton here.

Track is closed so that car isn't going anywhere. Just started it a couple of days ago. Neighbors must love me.

Im in Northern Alberta!
Anyone from alberta??

Work in Oakville, live in Millgrove

AHHHH. Sitting in the middle of it all.. Lovely Peg city! lol... April cant come quick enough! The Z06 sleeps. :D

Another Albertan here.

Busy in the garage, :chug: shoe horning the LS1 into my 3rd gen. Hope to have her ready for when the roads are dry again ...

I'm in the Kitchener/Waterloo area and my 1999 Firehawk is sitting in the garage until the nice weather returns.

Where in Ottawa? I'm in the West end.

Alberta here. Stuck in the snow still. Going to Phoenix on Sunday for Barrett-Jackson, cant wait.

Where in Ottawa? I'm in the West end.

Close to Carleton place. Nice car btw and good luck with your sale. I just picked up a 98 z28, let me know if you end up selling parts off it!

Another Albertan here. Car has been parked for more than too long (4 years)!

Hoping to have it going this summer :)

How many are on the west coast?

I get throught the winter by daily driving my light rwd Nissan on summer tires through rain, sleet, snow, whatever mother nature wants to throw at it, not to mention moving couchs strapped to the roof etc.

Cold winter nights wrenching in the garage suck, but that certain sound that I keeping daydreaming about is what is motivating me to keeping wrenchin.

working on winter up-grades, 102 fast intake, 102 bigmouth t/b, 104 lid, 100mm maf and 42 lb inj, remouving air inj. and getting ready to tear appart stock differential to inspect bearings, i have found with lots of torque if you go true the rear every couple of years i catch worn bearings before they do more damage, i have never heard noise from them but always catch some going away on me. anybody on here from New-Brunswick? looking at going to Champion motors for tune in the spring(1700km)one way drive

Where are all you Albertans from?? Im in athabasca, Commute to Fort Mac

Just chillin out in Regina..literally ,was in the negative 40s today with windchill then supposed to go up to near zero in couple of days.Talk about weather extremes!

My 408 went south on me around about october cutting my season short last year. But was originally planning to go to 427 so this time around doing that. ERL 427 is on order full meal deal with best parts. Will be getting the bigger turbos installed and hoping for good year this year. Hoping to finally dyno and track or at least run incar timer in my car. I got a 12.28 at 125mph out of it with incar timer and extra 300 plus pounds on it just on street with a 2.8 60ft spinning the toyo drag radials no matter what I tried thru all of first,second..LOL On 7.5psi of boost on the small standard aps turbos.

This year have the 427 and the much bigger turbos and will be turning up the boost. Hoping to see a 9.xx for sure like Tomz28 gets in forced induction section with his 370 ls2 and the same turbos. Have spray but would only use small shots 75 to 100 range.

Also been buiding my 91 auto turbo talon and hoping to run that at track this year. That one is track only car but only want to go 10s with it.Too much trouble going under that except at outlaw tracks could maybe go faster.

99TT is just street car ,make a few track runs and retire it from track.
And have a dead in garage 97 talon thats all modded to the moon that want to get back up and about.
And maybe getting a c6 auto or c6 z06 this year but that one will be left very near stock. My modding days are pretty much over. But will for sure be keeping the 99TT and the 91 race talon for long time. Unless track closes where i am planning to move. Race car can't be streeted.

Close to Carleton place. Nice car btw and good luck with your sale. I just picked up a 98 z28, let me know if you end up selling parts off it!

I'm in between you two in Stittsville. My car hits the road year round. Sadly, my wife it drives it 10x as much as I do!

Harry is in Almonte, but he usually hides out for the winter too. :)

Do you guys do any shows/events during the summer around the area. I will be going to Carlisle, PA this year for the GM nationals (even though the Camaro Nationals are somewhere else on the same date). Went with some guys from Camaro5 last year, before I had the car.

I will try to do a track day or two at Calabogie, never been before but I've heard good things about the track, and possibly make it to Cayuga too. There is also a new drag strip somewhere north of Ottawa (wayyyy north, like 4 hours!) that I'll end up going to this year, got some friends from around there that are pretty excited about something acctually opening instead of being shut down.

Let me know what any local/Ontario guys are up to in the summer!

I'm in Kanata.

I have no idea what my summer is shaping up like, but I'll be down for something. Would like to go to Shannonville, and definitely some drag strip.

Meeting up for coffee with another LSx (LTx etc.) guy would be cool too. PM me your phone number if you want!

Shannonville would be close as well, and is definately cheaper than calabogie. Does anyone ever go to Luskville? I heard they repaved it, never been but have been told it was in rough shape.

And if you ever go to either Rideau Carleton raceway on Wednesday nights or Merivale and Meadowlands on Friday nights I go to either a few times a summer, but M&M seems to be an importfest most of the time, except for the Cobalts.

If you want a meet/show with more domestic cars, head to Hazeldean Mall (Hazeldean and Eagleson) on Tuesday nights. There are a few f-body guys who hit that show regularly in the summer.

There used to be a decent club in Ottawa, but I haven't seen much of anyone from there in quite a while. A Google search might reveal something.....

You can try this board too: http://www.hostingphpbb.com/forum/index.php?mforum=fbody&sid=19d3279b28e2605478ca8316756931a3

I haven't been there for a while either, so I'm assuming it is still running.

I got a shift light at Christmas and after it goes in, I will be wanting to hit Luskville (much closer than 4 hours away!). I haven't been over there in at least 4 years - having kids will sap a lot of time. Last time I was there they had freshly re-done the launch area with new concrete. The left lane was in reasonable shape, but the right lane had a bit of a wave in it until about the 1/8th mile mark and then it smoothed out. Not sure if that has changed.

I'll be sure to check out the hazeldean show, and that link you posted hasn't seen an action in almost a year. I would go to Luskville with anybody else who's gonna go, just let me know when your heading there!

Definitely go to Hazeldean. That's 5 minutes from my house. Let me know if you're going to be there, and I'll meet up with you.

I usually go to Luskville once a year. It was pretty rough, but will be nice to try now that it's been re-done.

Can't believe this, should have checked in sooner! New to f-body world late fall 2010, guess we will have to meet up this summer, Les>>>

kelowna, BC... My car is a daily driver as well and has been undercoated. not a sign of rust in or out...

Can't believe I haven't posted here. London, Ontario with a 95 Z28. It seems my car attracts a bit of attention from fellow F-body owners in town. 205,000 km on it and the transmission is in the process of getting rebuilt.

Well i'm back, sold my Z28 when i bought my condo 1 1/2 years ago... now i bought a 2001 Firebird, ok, it's no a v8, it's a 6.... but still, it's nice to be back in the F-body club again, looking forward to seeing some familiar cars during the summer meets in Ottawa area!
I'll bring my bird there for sure, just finishing installing a new WS6 hood & 18" black rims, should look nice for the summer.

That won't be a fun commute.

Here in Edmonton. The sun is finally up for the drive to work (but daylight savings will fix that) and still up for the drive home. There is a 15 foot snow hill in the center of the cul-de-sac so the cars wouldn't be out for a while.
