Good morning,
Nothing sadder than another day at -25 but at least a high of zero for Sunday. I was in Calgary weekend before last and had the chance to encounter a red (probably 2013 plus) Nissan GTR on the road. Probably not the sort of car I'd be driving in the winter but still a breathtakingly beautiful car and he was at first behind me and then passed me so the exhaust note was something else and sure made me wish for spring!
My fuel pump problems for the Z06 have been corrected ($2800 later!) and to make sure it doesn't rear it's ugly head again I picked up an upgraded wiring harness from Racetronix that will have to be installed. It will replace the old one and be directly connected to the battery so that the high voltage requirement under boost will not tax the lighter gauge stock wiring.
Otherwise I am excited that unlike last year when the car did not return from Ontario until early July that it is here with me now and ready to roll when the snow is gone - or perhaps even a bit before!
So with luck we should be able to venture out west for the beginning of the 2014 XC season!
I'm not sure how many of you see one another but I'm always thinking about how you're doing and was hoping maybe someone could update me on a few things and I hope that I don't get too personal here.
1)Was Tri's wife and daughter finally able to join him?
2)Has Juan got his FC engine running?
3)Has Shaun turbo'ed his Supra (Aidan is dying to know!)
I'm toying with the thought of getting a racing kart for Aidan as well...........I've been looking but nothing has caught my eye yet. I thought it would be cool to maybe see something like that screaming around a course. Maybe get other kids excited and involved.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2014!
Cheers,
Garry, Aidan, Jackie
