Eviltwin Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Good day all! 1st post here. Name is Ryan. I live in Ottawa (Rockland) Have been modding cars for 12+ years. famous hitlist includes: 1991 CRX w/B16a1 2002 VW GTI 1.8T (timebomb) 1985 BMW 325e with Mb20b25 stroker engine 1988 BMW 325i m60 engine swap (never ending puzzle of headaches) 2005 Dodge Magnum Hemi 1986 Volvo 740 Turbo (with fat turbo) Current daily driver is 2008 Mazda 3 GT. picked this up as a weekend warrior/winter car. I'm tired of making cars "fast". I just want to get filthy, and crawl around slowly and have a good time. I'm 31y/o with a wonderful partner, and a 4yr old boy. He's loving the truck as much as I am so far ;-) purchased the truck from a local NPORA member. anyhow, see you around! Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Howdy Ryan, and welcome!! Looks like that truck is pretty much set up already. Did the member say what their login name was?? I think I recognize the truck, but I've seen so many here over the years... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, truck is pretty much trail ready as is. Leaves me that much further ahead to add toi it. Frame/rockers/floors redone and in great condition. Will be getting new tires for next season. Now just focused on getting some winters. 31" or smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yep, you are right Kingman. Hmm, I wonder why he sold it?? He did a lot of work... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpathy Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yeah he was sad to see it go but things have changed in his life so he put it up for sale. You bought a pretty damn nice truck. I have been wheeling behind or in front of that truck many times. Only problem you will find is that you will want to spend all your time on the trail instead of working! Glad to see that you joined the group. Hope to see you on the trail some time. More than a few Ottawa guys here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 ah the good ol 740 turbo, what a fine car to drive on curvy gravel roads nice pathfinder, where's your spare tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Looks like mine when I fit the 35s...damn nice looking wd21... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eviltwin Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Bahhhhh no spare...ill snag one from a pick n pull, when I get a drivers side mirror (cracked). Need the mirror for safety. I gotta admit, I'm really impressed with the work he's. Done to the truck. Took it out this evening for a little test run in a new housing development being built/dug up. Nice and dirty now. I used to wheel with a buddy of mine at the bogie hydro lines in a Sammy with 35's, and a beaten XJ. Will definitely see you guys on the trails sooner or later ;-) Does anyone have any recommendations on a local garage I could bring this for safety? As far as I know i'd just need to throw some fender flares on, and get some winters. (33's are pretty tired). If anyone knows anything PM me! Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ryan There shouldn't be anything "wrong" with the truck I would think since it passed the Quebec inspection fine when he had it. The Quebec inspection is like 10 times more strict than an Ontario safety. I do know a good garage but they are out in Richmond if you know where that is. If by bogie you mean calabogie I think we've been wheeling out there a couple of times. Near the California road trail Edited September 14, 2010 by adamzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times :-D Are you talking about Richmond Road? if so, thats not a problem. I'll PM you for details. are there any trips planned at all for the fall?

adamzan Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Not sure of any trips planned as mike and steph (judge on here) usually organized them. I would be up for one though. Sorry I don't mean Richmond road. I mean Richmond south of kanata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don't mean Richmond road. I mean Richmond south of kanata. I'll keep an' eye out for any trips planned...going in groups is alot funner than just a couple. just a quick question...having the tire stick out past the wheel well will yield a failed safety I think? or is it really dependant on the tech/garage...?

I would say it would depend on the garage but i do know there is a limit. The garage I know might look past it because a couple of the mechanics drive big trucks.
