  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    If you could own just one special vehicle what would it look like?

    In 5-10 years I may be thru 2-4 more vehicles lol. Ram said TRX is coming back with more power. Question is red eye or hellephant… That will dictate if I build this or upgrade.

    Luckily if you buy the right vehicle a lot of the emission problems aren’t there. Also with the right vehicle you can actually turn all nannies off fully which is a rareity these days. I should add I’m gen X lol

    I do! Maclaren p1 would be my special car. Not sure I’m understanding emission strangled. My ram trx is making 702hp stock and I can assure you the emissions aspect isn’t restricting it much. 700 hp daily driver that does almost everything… Here’s the 2 Camaro ZL1’s Ive owned. Both 6 speed...

    Tool What’s your favourite indicator.

    Seems to be lots of indicator threads so why not make more. Here is my favourite indicator. It did come with shorter tips also but the reach is nice.

    Tool Coaxial indicator

    Might wanna check your crank also… Those yellow pistons have an odd firing order with 4 up and 2 down… Don’t think they will handle any boost either lol. ;)

    WTB 3-5Hp 220 3 phase

    Like the title says. Looking for a 3-5hp 220-240 3 phase motor. Would consider bigger if need be. Mounting or shaft doesn’t matter it’s just for a idler. Ideally close to Kingston, Ontario or your a traveller.

    Really ?

    I guess I would have to read the book to understand your point of view. The Arbourist was only part of the story for me. Being very mechanical, riding motor cross bikes and quads since a child, fast cars, crotch rockets. It’s 47 years of risk assessment daily. You learn to see things...

    Really ?

    Not really rare just a different skill set. I was a arborist for 23 years. Assessing risk was a daily occurrence that could kill you.

    I am aware of the general 100lb rule for drag racing and I realize we have been throwing 1/4 mile times. The reality of my car or truck wants aren’t 1 trick pony’s. 1/4 mile times tell a great story but only 1 story. That is why I brought up creature comforts. Have you ever looked at Nuremberg...

    Oh yeah, fat pigs at 3900lbs. Thing is they would do things an old girl would not dream of. I’ve been done with old iron for a long time. I can have 20 speakers, a/c, 12 way power everything, run 10’s, 11’s, 12’s and drive across the continent then track it. Modern stuff is amazing!

    If you have a Tesla P100D with plaid yep you can. I was on a wait list for almost 3 years to buy a Hummer EV3X as it was suppose to do 0-60 in 3 seconds flat and weighed 9000lbs! Would of bought one if the didn’t jump the price from 130 to 160k. There was an internal video a dealer showed me...

    My first car when I was 16 was a Camaro. Dad and I build a 355 for it. 11.3:1 compression, comp cam, aluminum intake, camel heads, headers. I grew up with a 300-350hp car as my first and kept going from there lol Yellow car was my first Zl1 a 2012 with a 580hp LSA engine, then custom ordered...

    I own a 2023 Ram TRX. Stock, in good air it can do a 3.9 0-60. I haven’t modded it yet but plan to shortly. Larger blower, injectors, pulleys, fuel pump, cooler will put it into high 10’s easily. The best part is the short block, tranny, etc can handle it. That’s 10’s on stock 35 inch tires...

    Amazing times we live in now. You can buy 9’s with a chute off a domestic showroom. My truck with bolts ons can run 10’s. The only good thing from the modern world we have lol

    Standard Modern Series 2000

    I should add if you lived anywhere near the abandon railway bed in frankford back in 1994 sorry for the noise lol. I was always on there on my 1993 RM125. Most times we would be up in the Marmora mines though.
