quite nice actually all fairly new roads in Cambridge and my sub division is A1 lol

I will try to make it out. But I cant right anything in stone yet... the motor is still in the basement.

sounds good to me brother fingers are crossed

Racing you to the finish jay lol literally... My motors still at rainbow

I will keep this in mind ...

Any chance we have a good camera man in our ranks? For video? pics good too, but would be nice to have a vid for once. Driving convoy/parked/etc. Maybe the more we do it, the more people will want to join. Just a thought.

That would be a good idea.

I can have the gopro setup. I will also bring my camera but I think it will just be me so no camera man.

the go pro is an awesome idea when we do our cruise and i'll have my girlfriend there with her camera so I think were covered quite well.

Looks like some nice weather heading your way boys. Enjoy! I missed those first warm spring days.

For those like me that are too lazy to sift through and find the date, can somebody spoon feed me/us the date and location?

Please

It's May 29 in Cambridge, exact address hasn't been posted yet.

okay guys so now that our expected numbers are getting bigger and bigger im booking a pavilion in riverside park for all of us. but we will be meeting at my house and then going down together. my address is 206 Newport Drive in Cambridge. its right off of eagle street and for anyone coming from the 401 its literally 4 turns to my front door lol

Sweet guys!!I am looking forward to this, should be there in the new girl. only thing i need is some mig gas and to put on the exhaust and I am good to go.

Lol you don't need an exhaust

oooooooorrrr, you just run the exhaust out of the front bumper, cheap and mean

LOL I was forced to do that on the way home from cayuga last year, it was not fun.

oh wow lol I want to run a cutout on the front but still keep everything else for daily driving

I am trying to decide if I want to put my cutout back on but leaning more towards just running test pipe.

im all stock except for a 3' RTM catback on the car and ive gotta etest my car again this year so im waiting to put my test pipe on lol

Of course you're going to put a test pipe on. Cats don't belong on these cars unless you're trying to pass an e-test and don't know somebody that's capable to stick the sniffer in the tailpipe of a Corolla

Ive got a guy here in Cambridge that "passes" my car every year I don't know why I cant get mine to pass with full exhaust but it failed miserably last time

Haha Lucian, I need to find someone local who can do that magic!

Also interested in a local guy that "passes". Paid 250 plus diagnosis for a conditional pass on my 1g.

We should convince Reza to start etesting cars.

i paid 300 for my last etest.

Our old family mechanic used to do some shady stuff so I am going to stop by his shop on the way home and see if he will do a pass for me.

300 sounds insane to me though!! Isn't an etest usually $120?

I paid $130 for my "legit" etest back in august

That's what I was expecting, 20$ more but not more than double.

You guys expect a mechanic/shop to put their license on the line for giving cheap dsmers a fake etest for next to nothing?

You pay them double for the risk they are assuming, why is that an issue?

$300 is a good deal.

Shame if you think otherwise.

That's a fair point, I didn't think etest was that serious I figured this was only expected for safety.

I thought etests were around 35??

And I dont see why our cars need fakes. I have no emissions on my car other then a 3" cat I put on just for the test. And never failed.

regardless of the cat size, as long as it was "in working order" i always passed emissions. Nothing else (including EGR, evap lines, deleted vacuum lines etc) ever made me fail a test.

It was mostly just not wanting to hack up the exhaust to put on a cat just for etest.

Seems alot cheaper then 300 every 2 years. and you have exhssut work ahead of you anyway.

Nothing to hack up...just get a set up with vbands or band clamps and it's quick and easy to change. Small upfront cost for huge added convenience down the road.

Good point Jay.

Yeah that was the plan Sal, I think I will just do that.

The etest itself is around $40.

Conditional pass are more expensive.

Next year no one in Ontario will have to pay for their etest. Except conditional pass.

Run a cat regardless. MTO loves modified cars. Why risk a huge fine OR give them a reason to look deeper into what mods you have.

Solomon has the right idea here. vband a cat in your exhaust while street driving and swap it out when you are at the track.

+1 i have 3 inch Cali approved cat (not magnaflow) and still a huge improvement over factory setup. For streets works really well for me.
