The Saskatchewan/Manitoba thread!

Good day Night life
I read your paragraph about the Diablo Clutch, we have a 94 SE in our shop right now with the same problem, it is common with the Diablo. We are modifying the Hydraulics and Clutch
mechanism inside the bell housing, it reduces the amount of effort required to press the clutch by approx 30% and increases the life of the clutch and mechanism by approx 50%.
The bearings on the clutch cross shaft inside the bell housing sieze up because there is no facility to grease these on a regular basis. The best time to do this mod is when you have the clutch replaced. This is the second one i have done this year and they are well worth the expense. The customer said his left leg must have been twice the size of his right.
Cheers

 

Long time member, first post
Roberto. Great meeting you that day. You and Charlene completely changed my perception of Canadians. LOL.
Enjoy that Diablo!

Ed

 

Canada is great eh!!! lol

 

Great if you like beer and poutine, you hoser! Oh wait, I like those things....

 

Ha. Yeah sorry 'bout that. Casualties of close quarter single lane driving Don't you have a clear bra on that thing?
You came outta nowhere on the 405. Thought some guy was creeping up on my right side, looked over, and it was you. LOL
You should come on over to the other forum. Just another silly diversion.
I'd love to go to Race the Base....but it means I'd have to go to Canada. Catch 22. haha

 

Ah, haha. That's why you should've kept the top on that roadster
And yes, I thought my car was low, but you're essentially just lying down on the highway!
Don't do too much flirting.....I mean socializing with the female clientele. I'm sure Charlene won't have too much difficulty replacing you.lol

I'm a transplanted East Coaster. I have no desire to see snow again. Pretty sure I wouldn't have an issue leaving Canada

 

Well, finally got to drive the beast again and WOW it was faster than before
The sound it now makes is very distinct plus the turbos whistling makes it sound like a jet is roaring down the street.
The taller gearing makes the 6th gear feel like a 7th gear - highly recommend the gearing!!

Palm Springs to San Diego to Las Vegas and mostly the back roads what a blast, really that's all I can say

the car performed very well and with taller gearing actually better gas mileage lol

Thanks to:

Jason really came through on the deadline, if it wasn't for the electrical issues with the car it would have been sooner.

Now The Next Step

The car is about to have a transformation so am going to be selling some body parts.
Front bumper, wing, and what ever else that has to come off for the big transformation

Anyone interested in some parts?

here is a few pics of the drive

GREAT pics, you guys. SOOOOooooooo jealous am I..... driving those cars, WITH those other cars, in THAT kind of weather..... !!!!

Can't wait for the nicer weather to come here. Definitely, road trips (note, plural) are in order.

Plentywood, anyone??

I hear the weather will be nice... say, sometime in May-ish? It would be for the best

Sean, you need a new ride, ASAP.


LOL - I love the look of that wing, for sure, Roberto, but no can do this summer.... I think the additional drag associated with another wing on the car might just slow me down. WAIT. I GET IT...... this is just a cunning ploy, to slow my car down for RtB!!!!!!







I'm onto you, Roberto......

 

Phil, great shots. Congrats on the upgrade. Now enjoy in good health.

Roberto, I love your pics too. That Diablo looks impecable.

 

Hey guys. There is a 2011 458 on Cranky Ape. I thought about it but it will go too high for me. Did a rough calculation and probably 35G to 40G in parts will fix it plus paint and labor. Its a salvage car but it would be a fun driver. Only 2500 miles on it. Its in Minnesota too so its close. Here is the link.

Wow. Gorgeous car - I actually like the colour, and love the interior, with the contrast stitching.

Begs the question, though, if all the damage was only cosmetic, why didn't they just fix it, instead of labelling it as "salvage"? Am I missing something, here?

I agree, Roberto - reserve must be pretty high, but it might be a good way to pick up a great driver.


GROUP TRACK CAR, WHO'S IN???!!!!!!!!

 

Trust me i already did some research on this and have a basic list of parts and prices and a rough quote to do the paint and body work. Unless you can find a donor car the parts alone will be 35 to 40 g minimum and thats just replacing what you can see from pics. I would guarantee another another 10 to 15 g in misc crap and sensors etc. The entire car needs a repaint. Now if you wanted to just do it as a track car that would be different. Fix the panels with bondo etc and do a wrap and fix the suspension, send the rim to Gord for repair and you could probably have it track ready for 10 to 15 g. Would be a blast for sure. Lol.

 

Hmmmmmm.......... Sunday's forecast: plus 21 degrees, and sunny........

Hmmmm.......



I'm just sayin'......

 

Hmmmmmm is right.... I have to get the 57 Chev ready so at least I can show up with something. Not exotic by ANY stretch of the imagination but fun to drive none the less.

 

I was waiting for soo long that someone discuss about weather n possibly a meeting .. haven't shot a single car since last summer !!

So eager so see exotics before my semester finals start

 

NOW, they are calling for rain on Sunday in Regina....
