I'm out in Calgary now, there's a bunch of e stations just outside of the city.

But are you staying there is the question. Going FF and then coming back here would be disappointing at best.

Staying out here for the time being, s/o has family and we've both got jobs out here.

Well then it is a good enough investment.

Maybe he's avoiding you.

Good luck! I lived out there for a few years. As far as cities go, it's a nice one. Mind you when I was there it had 400k people lol

Went to my first track day out west at Rocky Mountain Motorsport. Holy crap the track is incredible. So much fun and super technical but with these cars you spend a lot of time on the go pedal flat out. Also tested out a new camera set up and the video quality was pretty good, however the audio is trash. Should've tested before but oh well . Car did well, driver was alright for his first time and I'll definitely be back next year.



(Sorry in advance for the complete lack of usable audio)

Installed the Blitz upper radiator hoses, coolant temp sensor adapter, and coolant temp sensor. No leaks, no air bubbles, pretty simple install. The triple gauges look great, quite happy with how the interior has turned out.

Did an oil change and nut + bolt check, went to "Lugnutz" here in Calgary. Excellent facility and super nice to work on a lift.





One final track day tomorrow and then the winters go on. I picked up a set of Kumho Wi31 in OEM 215/45/17 for $120/tire shipped w/ taxes and fees. Then a buddy got them mounted for me at his dealership. Unfortunately my new job requires me to commute, hopefully this is the only winter I have to drive the car .

That place looks brand new. How does it work? Do they charge per hour?

Per hour, 1 hour minimum. I believe they opened in 2021 https://lugnutz.ca/. The place I am staying at doesn't allow fluid changes, so this was a good alternative to paying someone else to do it. Plus they get rid of the used fluids, so I don't have to cart it to the recycling center after

Dry ice blaster! I could really use that right now.

Drove up to Strawberry Creek Raceway over the long weekend. Super fun track, the organizer ran it CCW in the morning and then for the last two hours CW.

No videos yet, still working my way through them but I got some decent lap times for my first time out. Still a ton of time on the table, but overall very happy with how it went.
CCW - 2:08.227
CW - 2:10.128

Only took one photo at the track and it's of another twin . Got a ride along with him and saw a few corners I could improve on (and did in later sessions).

Also made a stop in Edmonton and picked up a splitter which I've come to find out is a Verus replica/imitation (confirmed by Clay @ Verus), but for the price I paid I'm not super upset about it.



Washed the car since getting to the track required 15 minutes of driving on a gravel road in each direction. So after the wash I stopped by the airport for a photo and the sunset.

Time for winter mode I suppose, in the coming week I will be swapping from the Gloc brakes back to the Endless, and from the RPF1 & Hankooks to the stockies & Kumhos.
