Porno Joe's hit the nail on the head. Of course Lemieux doesn't want to move the team, but he also doesn't want his hockey team playing in a shit arena. I'm a Maple Leafs fan, and I can imagine how I'd feel if they wanted to move my team somewhere else. Sorry to hear about the move but maybe some people will listen to him now and he'll give the team the home they deserve Cheers!

Hold on... When you get a ticket, don't they have to show you the gun showing the reading of how fast you were going? I thought they had to walk up with the gun and show you what it says before you get a ticket? Also, would the wind really affect a radar reading? Good luck with the ticket, On the plus side, it can't be that big of a ticket since you were only over by 10 right? I know in Canada they can't give you a ticket for going any less then 15km over (that's probably around 9.5mph) so if you were only doing 16km over, wont it just be a slap on the wrist kinda thing (as in no points and arond a hundred dollar fine)? Maybe tickets are different in the US, just kinda curious.

So I was looking through the autotrader and I found a 1979 GMC Dually in rough shape but it has a 454 in it so I am thinking I might buy it and rebuild it in my kitchen over the rest of winter. My question is what to do with the truck afterwards. I am hopefully going to drop this engine in something and I'll have this truck left so I'm wondering if there's a difference between a dually frame and a regular cab frame? The truck is 1200 bucks (Canadian) so if I yank the engine and sell the truck even for like 600 bucks it'd be a good deal. I can reuse the crank, pistons, and all that stuff just swap a cam, heads, intake, just some stuff to give her a little more punch you know? So is that a good deal (assuming I can sell the truck) and whats the deal with that frame? Thanks guys, I bet you're just happy I wasn't going to make the first SS dually eh?

Whoa, wait. You can make an SS into a stick? HOW!!?? I didn't think it could be done but that's the only thing I would change about my 03SS

Don't worry boys, I wouldn't take it too hard. I went to the autoshow last year when it came to Toronto and noticed that the Honda Civic had won "sports car of the year" and the Honda Ridgeline won "truck of the year". It was actually kinda funny because the Ridgeline had a Honda Quad in the back and the tailgate had to be down just so it would fit in the box... not really much of a truck if that's the case. A lot of car magazines or magazines that compare models of cars are often very bias (like that autoshow I went to). So if it says the Toyota is faster, I wouldn't be surprised if the article is sponsored by Toyota too... At least by trying to compare their Yoda's to our engines shows that we are the benchmark they're reaching for... Cheers!

She's not a bullet or anything, currently she can do 12.8's but I'm going to use some spray and hopefully get her to 11.6. I say 11.6 because I run Street ET and I don't want to put a cage in her. Nice eyes seeing the slicks! Take it easy, Cheers!

Yeah, I have more photos on photobucket, here's the link More SS and Chevelle pics

I just uploaded these tonight. So what do you guys think of the setup? All I need now is a Good Hood and to make sure my truck is washed next time I go racing. I was surprised how low my truck sat with the load; now I know what my truck would look like lowered! Take it easy guys, Cheers!

Hey, one quick point. Just to clear up some misconception, I"m 99% sure that in Canada the 2005 SS's were still AWD but only an option in Canada. I'm not sure why they did this, but just thought I'd let you know. Cheers!

Alrite, so I'm thinking my tranny is on the way out. I have a CAI on my truck and a superchips tune. The reason I got the superchips is because I can just pull it off at any time and as far as I know GM is none the wiser. Is that true or does it put a code in your computer? Also, would a CAI void your warranty? Would exhaust void warranty too? What can you do that won't void your protection? Let me know guys, Cheers!

I love the personal plates and we need them on front and back in Canada. I have JRS 1967 for my 1967 Chevelle, I had JRS JEEP on my 2004 Rubicon and I now have JRS SS on my 2003 black SS Someday I'm getting JRS DMC (I love stainless steel...), JRS LS6, JRS 454SS (I love those trucks), and maybe JRS VETTE

Alright, I just read a guys post on him wondering if he would trade his SS on an SRT10 Ram. I was reading the replies and I came to people talking about sales and the discontinued SS and SRT10. Is this confirmed or speculated? I heard (can't remember where) that the new SS was going to have like 440hp and eat ours alive (most of us except maybe Chase lol) Is this true? Are they discontinued? I'm scared to see the replies... I'll keep my fingers crossed... JR

Alright, aluminum it is. Now I have to ask, how much are these going for?

So I just had my car dyno'd the other day. It a 67 Chevelle with a 383 Stroker and it came in at just under 300hp and just over 400 ft lbs of torque at the wheels. So I got to thinking, I know the engine is making a lot more power and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about carbon fibre drive shafts? I dragged mine out of a junkyard and just had it cut. If I put a carbon fibre drive shaft will it give me more hp and torque at the wheels? Will it make the car more responsive or am I just wasting money?

Hey, So I was sitting here thinking to myself about what I would like to build this summer when I finish my 1967 Chevelle. I was thinking of buying something with a turbo but I wasn't sure so it lead me to thinking about doing up my 2003 Silverado SS. My question is this... I'm a drag racer, would a supercharger or a turbo from STS be better for 1/4's? My little brother has an 03 SS with a supercharger, but he is having huge problems with the belt slipping. That's the first vote against the charger. Anyways, if I do a turbo, I can put a boost controller on it to tune it down right? I am not sure if I can just throw a turbo on a stock motor, so what do I need to do? Any information from anyone would be great, just tell me what you know or what you've learned, thanks! JR

So is there any way you can make the AWD SS similar to the Nissan Skyline in that you can shift it into rear wheel drive and also into AWD?

Hey, I was talking to a friend of mine and he says that he can get me a transmission from a Z71 so that I can shift from 2 to 4 wheel drive. I have an 03 SSS, I like the AWD but it would be nice to shift it into 2 to save myself a little fuel. I was wondering, what will this do to my truck? Can it be done? Will it give me an SS that I can shift to 2 and AWD? Thanks, JR Cheers!

Yes they built an AWD TT car,but no one has offered me any help yet... Glad not to get hate responses though... And just to put it to rest, Mitsubishi and Dodge each had 3 model's of their car. There was the base and mid range (both FWD, I beleive they were both 222hp) and then they each offered an AWD twin turbo platform that was 320hp. They're very fast, and kinda unique. Very cool cars, very ahead of their time. So yeah, I'm still looking for information about the tail light conversion. I know that the glass is different on the cars, maybe I'd just be better importing a VR4 from the US? It's just that's a lot of bones to shell out for another toy... Anyways, if anyone has any information on doing a tail light conversion let me know. It's not terribly urgent, but I'm just gathering information because I want to do one eventually. I was going to do a Talon/Eclipse just because they are cheaper to buy and cheaper to mod but if you've ever sat in one of those you'll soon see that unless your 5'5 you'll never fit in the damn thing. But there is some serious poential for those things to run into the 10's. Take it easy guys, Cheers!

Alright, so here's the deal. I'm a chevy man through and through, love the bowtie and nothing beats the General. Okay, so now you guys aren't going to be too upset about this... I have always really liked the Mitsubishi 3000GT. The probelm is that I live in Canada and VR4's are very rare and expensive. When I say expensive I'm saying that a VR4 sells for around 30G up here but you can get a Dodge Stealth RT TT for around 8. GM has never build an AWD twin turbo car with awesome performance. I realize the Grand National is an awesome car and the Syclone is turbocharged and AWD but the GN is a lot like a muscle car and I already own a Chevelle, and the Syclone is also very rare and expensive so I'm opting to go with a Stealth. I love the look of the 3000GT and I know you can do a front end conversion for them to on the Stealth. I am just wondering if anyone knows anything about doing a conversion to the rear as well? I want to turn a Stealth into a 3000GT, I realize I will probably have to buy doors or something, just looking for any kind of information here. If you guys are scared of ridicule from the fellow SS guys, just send me an E-mail, I will keep it discrete So how hard is it to convert? I don't really care of the sides look like a Stealth, I just want those sexy tails. Thanks guys, JR Cheers!

Wow, that just proves my point about computers doesn't it? lol Alright, so I just give you guys the address and you click on it right? http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o115/JR...1&addtype=local There ya go, Ugh, I hate computers...

Hey guys, So I finally figured out how to get that Photobucket site to work, it took me like an hour... ugh... I'm not a computer guy. So I have some video's and pictures, I don't have many of my SS but only because I got it in the winter and no matter how many times I wash it, the black SS always looks dirty when I get home (even if I'm crawling). There are some pics of my Chevelle though, So let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions for either of them let me know. Also, there are a few pictures of my little brother's blue Supercharged SS Take it easy guys, enjoy! Cheers!

Opps, I didn't realize I had already posted this in here. I put it in the wrong section and moved it to here but I didn't realize I had already done that. Sorry guys, JR

Alright, so I'm in the process of putting a new interior in my car. I know it's not original but this is a hot rod, I'm building it for fun not for show. I took the interiour out of a 1998 Chrysler 300M (I know it's Mopar in a Chev, but they fit and look so good inside the car) and the problem is that the seats are out of a 4 Door. I'm pretty sure the 300M only came in a 4door so I can't just get a passenger seat out of a 2 door. The question I was wondering is that I still want to use the back seats, but I can't get them to move far enough forward. They are power leather, and I've heard that you can pull a pin or something to get them to fold forward. Anyone have any suggestions or insight into this? Any help at all is appreciated Thanks, JR
