Not sure what came of this but I am in Calgary and would do a meet. I don't have a GAGT but I do drive a car that is very close, Olds Alero.

[Inferno]

I would be interested, I am from Ontario but I will be spending 12 weeks in Vermillion to attend Fire Etc. (A world renown Fire Academy) let me know the exact date and I will try to make it

[RGAGT]

No Problem for and alero it's the same car - and Inferno when are you going to be in the area - Any Meet will not be till spring at least So the Gramps can make it safely:D But everyone Toss in some ideals on where when and what to due and will see what we can do :thumbs:

[Inferno]

I will be there from February 24 until May 16:thumbs:

Cool, I am up for it no matter when as long as I have good enough notice to make sure I'm not busy at work.

[Treviathon]

I would be game, as long as it doesn't fall through like last time.

[RGAGT]

Well I Don't Think it will - Any Suggestions for places Since inferno is in the area till may The End of April Would be a good ideal don't have a calander handy but will check and see What Days would be a Weekend and What about location. Drop some ideals and dates everyone and Will See What works best for everyone We have a Few months to plan:thumbs:

Are the majority of the people from Northern AB (Edmonton and area) or South (Calgary and area)? If it is split then why not pick somewhere central.

[RGAGT]

Yeah I was thinking Red deer But haven't heard From Many of the Edmonton Boy's Yet But we have a few months to decide I would like to meet somewhere and go for a Cruise to banff or jasper

that would be a cool idea.

[RGAGT]

Hey Steve is that list on your sig What you want to do or What you have done ???

[RGAGT]

ok Haven't had a lot of post in this subject for a while any one with some ideals let me know. for all calgary members would be nice to hook up a couple of times this winter - wed nights around 7pm I meet up with a bunch of Friends From Beyond.com and 403honda just for fun in the under ground parking lot of chinnook mall - go in throu the entrance beside moxies after the stop sign go straight and it turns left and we meet right there

:D

[Blackgt1]

Calgary would be good.... Any ideas for when?

[RGAGT]

Yeah meet probable won't be till end of April 03 and I think a meet in calgary and a cruise to banff would be good but then Gramps gt is halfway home when we hit banff again. You a Friday arrival in calgary would me we could go to the track friday night then cruise to banff saturday

[Xride]

i'd love to make it, let me know more info as it comes available.
might take the bike though, cause calgary has a nice track course that i would like to take, and its in april, maybe kill two birds wiht one stone.
love to meet everyone though. been a while since a edmonton meet even.

Thats as of two weeks ago what has been done with the exception of the chip. I am waiting for DHP now because the ASE wasn't all that **** hot with my mods. They (ASE) claims they will custom a chip for me now but we will see. I am out of town on business (in Tokyo actually) right now so I haven't even driven the car yet since its been done. grrrrr.

For any of you guys in Calgary --- go see Hole Shot Custom Engine in the NE and tell them that Steve with the Alero sent you. They do awesome work at a good price. As of two weeks ago I have the following done;

TOG Headers
Shaved head
massive portNpolishing
performance gasket
upper and lower ported
TB ported
Borla cat-back
Cool Air intake (hole shot custom made one for me)
Cooler plugs
Taylor Wires
underdrive pully (Street Arsenal)

I am going to drop another 100$ on a Vette MAF as the computer is reporting that the MAF is getting more air than it knows what to do with -- which is a good problem to have I think. :-)

I am also waiting on American Performance of Colorado to get me the larger TB.

The computer is reporting somewhere around (I dont trust this so will hit a dyno hopefully before x-mas) 260ft/lbs of torque which at 4000 above sea level is pretty damn good I think. According to a friend of mine (he has a insanely souped up Neon) who has been kind of watching my car for me - he can hit the speed limited (175KM/H) in second which probably isn't all that good for the car but impressive none the less.

Next will come a tranny cooler and better fluid, and if I can get the cash I want to do more bottom end engine work but its getting pricey.

[RGAGT]

WOW I WILL HAVE TO CHECK THEM OUT

[RGAGT]

Hey Steve When are you back from toyko PM me we should set up a calgary meet

Yeah ok, I am up for that. If it is alright for you guys, I will extend an invite to the other Alero owners in Calgary as well. I think I have the only souped up one but it would still be cool to meet everyone.

Also, we are trying to plan an Alero Alberta meet on www.aleromod.com of course the GA guys are welcome to join us -- the more the merrier.

156.2LB/FT Torque @ 4300RPM

You missed me by about 5 minutes. I proceeded to speed down glenmore and get caught by photo radar. Its hard to drop to 80 from 170 :D

By 9:05 I was sitting at home with the wife watching a movie. I left my cell in my car. I got the times messed up. On here it said 8:00 but on Aleromod I said 9:00 so its my fault. sorry

[RGAGT]

My dad drives to work that way and told me to go 50 in that area, cuz u have a good chance of getting busted if u don't

[RGAGT]

NO Buy The Time Everyone Got there it Started to rain a couple of Suv's Raced Twice But that was it Then Everyone Went to the STripppers

[smday]

just saying hi. new at the forum. also looking to see where i could find out where and the cost of the ram air hood. and any ideas on mods for the car. thanks.

[RGAGT]

Hey smday welcome. Well Ram air hoods around hear best Place to by is Probably Dealership. As For Mod's Best Mod's to due are CAI (Cold Air Intake) and Cat Back Exhaust and if you have the Money Headers. Hey Hopefully You'll be able to make it to the Spring meet

[SlimShady]

Hi, I'm in Edmonton and I purchased the SC/T hood back in late April of 2002 from the dealership I bought my car from. The price on the hood itself is $1575 plus tax. Paint and install will obviously vary depending on where you get it done. All together the whole thing set me back about $2300.oo

[Gramp's GT]

Those hoods look real good however .....ouch!!!! $2300!! Thats gotta hurt. Wish I could afford one.

[RGAGT]

Yeah Seen Pic's of slim Car With the hood Looks Great > Hey Gramps How ya doing When you come Down in the Spring Hope You have the Chrome Techs ON :thumbs:

[Gramp's GT]

Yeah RGAGT as soon as this snow is gone on goes the Chrome-tecks. Probably be about 1-1/2 to 2 months before I can take off the noisey studded tires.
Any close to definate date for getting together? I have put in for some vacation days early in the spring(usually not a problem in getting them changed though). As long as I have some money I l should be able to make it.

[RGAGT]

Well This is What I was Thinking Either the Weekend of April 26/03 or first Weekend of May 03 - For Everyone that Wants to Come into Town Friday/Friday Night and Go To Secret Streets. and then a Cruise To Banff (Open to Ideals) Or Go-Karting Saturday Afternoon and Dinner then off to the Races Saturday Night . Any Suggestion would be welcome again:thumbs:

[RGAGT]

Ok It is now march so we need to start to organize this meet


Racecity opens the 25april03 does anyone want to do the meet the weekend of the 25th or do we wait another week. and do it on the first weekend of May ?

What doe's everyone want to do?

Please post some hint or suggestions

[Gramp's GT]

I can't remember when I put in for some vacation time however it is not usually a problem switching dates

[RGAGT]

Hey it's ok Gramps your the only one that has replied and I was thinking of a dyno day saturday instead of a cruise

[smday]

sorry guys i love to come but the wife's sister is getting married that weekend. maybe some other time if i can get away from working up hear in fort mac.
