  • Assistance in the Calgary area

    Hey guys,

    I'm still kinda new and inexperienced to this whole car thing let alone Skylines, but it is something that I feel like I should be learning a lot about while I still have time. I'm wondering if I'd be able to make buddies with anyone in the Calgary area who'd be willing to show me around my car.

    I should take a look at a few minor issues on my car and I don't have time/space/money/experience to do it by myself, but I'm really quite eager and willing to learn.

    So, give me a shout if you don't mind having somebody ask you seemingly dumb questions. All I really want is to see her get to a point where I can be super happy.

    Cheers

    What do you need to know? Skylines are easy cars to understand, after you break a few things and are forced to do the work. Let me know.

      I took the same approach when i got mine. Knew very little about performance vehicles and automobile mechanics in general. Couple of guys were super nice (still are) and walked me through a lot of learning curves.

      If you're willing to trek north an hour, there's a few here in red deer. come to LS on a friday night.

        Oh, just things here and there. What to take apart, how to take them apart and what I should do to keep her running like a champ.

        Paradis, definitely don't mind taking a trip to meet a few guys, my girlfriend lives up in Innisfail now so I'll probably be up in that area fairly often now.

                I can give you some advice about things I've already tried myself, but that's about it

                I go to Rollie for everything else....plus it's a lot easier working on the Skyline on his lift.

                        Thanks! I put it on a T-shirt a few years ago, still wear it all the time.

                        As for the meets, I've been to one already. I'll try to make it to as many as I can, tonight excluded.


                        I might have to do that! Pretty sure I'd learn quite a bit if you don't mind me hanging around.

                        Great stuff, my schedule is almost wide open so I might be shooting you a few pms for stuff here and there over the summer.

                        Really appreciate it guys!
