Not really a sighting but in a way, one of the demo cars for Grandwest is at Tiger Automotive on Circle in Saskatoon, full Wings West Avenger kit with Whale Tail roof wing, rims, lowered, exhaust, racing seats, those dumb looking side window covers (louvers), APC tails, stick on hood vents, side vents, unique headlight molded covers, probably tons of other stuff. Not to bad to look at, it's unique but pretty ugly in general.
Any of you other Saskatoon guys seen it?
yeah i was gonna post it a while ago...
it's like right across the street from my work, i can pretty much see it from where im sitting...
it's riced out...all APC crap on it...the only good parts i can see on it is the wheels and Wings West stuff...i think it also hase thos stick on cross-drilled look rotors...
the RSX they have there is nice...but they went stinge on the Fo-fo
Yeah I know what you mean Phil. I haven't gone to check it out up close. It's inside the building now (showroom) and the hood is up, looks like it has some 'rice' under the hood also. The rims are pretty nice, I like them. Going to stop by one of these days on the way home with the digital and take a few pics, will post them up on here (if I remember).....
the rims are nice no doubt...but all that stick on s**t bugs me...and especially the altezza's...
i really wanna scope it out up close, and i also want to know what the store has to offer
They got nothing but Wings West and Xenon for body kits (that are worth buying). They sell APC (wow the shock) and alot of Ractive stuff. Nothing worth buying besides that. I got my kit there actually.
We should go check it out sometime.... haven't talked to you since the street legal racing day. Not to jack the thread more (even though it's mine) but do you got any pics of my run? I remember you were standing about 1/2 way down the 1/4 taking pics, I believe I remember that.....
I had video and pics, but as you may recall my hardrive blew...
so i think its gone...but ill check my memory cards, but im almost positive i deleted them...sorry man...
yeah we should check it out sometime, Hopefully they can order stuff, by the sounds of it they got some crap...maybe suspension, or some perfromance stuff...they do pager alarms from what i heard on the radio...

They have crap for suspension, actually they might have Sprint but not sure. The BIG place to go in Saskatoon in WSSL. It's actually just off cirlcle but off some street towards Idylwyld Drive. They can get everything in but they are costly, cheaper to buy off the net.
As for alarms, I can get a good deal at a few places in town.
im gonna order most of the net, probly Mitch, but a place to install is different...
i got this crazy thought that i want to rent out the garage beside my work. Work on my car there and store it there for the winter...would be a good place, lots of room...but would probly cost me and arm and leg...

i think ill go check that out when im near tiger automotive some time.
chad call me one of these days, have a dvd from the street legal drags in sept.
Phil, I know exactly where you mean, they are in the back of the building right? I used to know some guys at audio express when I was into the stereo comps. Anyway, not to bad.....

I know man, honestly don't buy from ANYWHERE in the city here, example, WSSL quoted me over $500CDN for my Eibach Prokit springs. I ended up ordering them from California off
http://www.madperformance.net and even with the brokerage, it came to about $350CDN.
Anyway, I read another profile of a car on that site and there was something about fake discs, damn doesn't that just say it all. Kinda suprised they didn't put spinners on the focus.... :P
haha like those candain tire hub cap spinners... :lol:

woah that has so much rice on it that you forget that theres an actual car there.
