hey everyone,
i was wondering if there is going to be anything or Ontario guys coming up anytime soon?
Winters already draggin and I wanna go meet some others with the same interests as im tired of hearing my best freind *** about his honda lag
cheers,
J.
-
I want to come down the the GTA in the next couple of weeks. Maybe someone can organize something in Kitchener area so it's half way for GTA and Hamiliton people?
-
i figured if your coming down, I might be able to meet ya and get those springs?
Im still working on getting up there....
-
Hmmm... you know what, I might be able to host some sort of thing.
I'm going to be out of here on the 21st heading to the East Coast for Christmas with my girlfriend and her family, and won't be back until 2nd week of January. So either before the 21st or after the 4th/5th of Jan/08, we could do something at my place in Markham, depending on how many people are showing up. Depending on when and what's going on, I might be able to persuade Giles to come as well, and/or arrange for a brief tour of Performance Diesel Injection.
Let me know what you think, folks. And now, I bid you all adieu. I am in dire need of sleep.
-
I'm interested.
-
Everyone who is interested, either post here or PM me with a rough idea of what timeframe works better for you - pre-Dec 21/07 or post-Jan5/08. If there are a half-dozen / dozen or more who are interested, I'll see if I can persuade Giles into either being present on an evening / weekend to give a shop tour or else letting me open the place up. Hosting the get together at my place isn't a problem; in addition, I make a significant quantity of homebrew beer and wine, so if you're comfortable trusting me, you're welcome to enjoy. :twisted: 8)
Looking forward to hearing who's interested.
-
I'm in. Getting a ride down may be hard but I'll do my best
-
I'm definitely in. I want Giles to see my project comleted and maybey do some fine tunning on the ip he built for me :D
-
I'd be in. The new year would work better for me, but I may be able to "escape" before...
-
I'd be in for post-New year. Only because i'm relatively sure i won't complete all the niggling bits to get the TD back on the road before x-mas.
-
I'm in for a GTG in the New Year. Looking forward to being persuaded to have an injection pump built. :D
-
the new year would be best for me as my car is in the shop due to a headgasket failure because my pr cup were coming out of the head :cry:
-
I hibernate just like my Diesel in the Winter, so I won't be out to any GTGs til Spring :oops: :wink:
Til then, I just try to stay warm in my winter-beater-gasser Jetta. :?
-
At this point I am quite confident that your guys Giles tour will be in the New year :)
-
I defonatley would be interested in coming on down, I have a contact for a really nice indoor location that would be big enough for atleast 30 or more cars. Could make a meet and enjoy a warm day inside dubbin
Would anyone be interested in a indoor Pickering meet?
Maybe I'll try and work something out....
I always wanted to do a live show or booth where someones doing the live engine swap for everyone to check out!
any ideas would be so much fun!
-
Happy New Year to everyone. 8)
Who all is interested in a GTG in the GTA (Performance Diesel Injection is in Markham)? Let me know.
-
is gilles interested in having us down to check out the shop?
Ive been dieing to make it down to check it out, mainly just talking to people about diesels would be perfect to kill what winter we have left and keep US all motivated!
Good idea!
-
I don't have a car (well....) but I'll do my best to be there whenever it is
-
He is indeed.
We can have a get together at the shop, or at my house (about 10 minutes away) or a little of both. Giles would love to have a group from the GTD Forums out to see the shop.
-
I'm still interested. I'm gone Feb 15-24, but other than that I should be free. I'll be coming in from 401/Mississauga Road if anyone else wants to caravan in from the west.
-
Ya'll willing to let an uhmarihcan in on the fun? I'll keep the warmongering and what not to a minimum. I may even have my rabbit running eventually...
-
I don't have a car (well....) but I'll do my best to be there whenever it is
You have enough parts to build 10 cars!!!!! :lol:
-

Sam you should defiantly come up, carpool with Trev0rbr and he can get that block (and more engines)
-
When is this going to go down?
-
We should get a date set so everyone can start making plans.

Hi Everyone
I know that everyone has been waiting to see my new shop so here goes
I think March 1st will be a good day for a get together, pray for
good weather.
My shop is 3300 sq ft so plenty big enough for everyone to enjoy.
I will be giving pointers to anyone who needs and some tuning for people that have one of my pumps already. i will also be giving away a free injector clean or overhaul depending on what you're driving. this will be done by raffel when most people are in attendance. Maybe even run a
pump on one of my test stands if people are interested.
Pls let us know of who is coming and if u can bring any items of
consumption.
we will provide dog's and burgers.
Enjoy, look forward to seeing everyone in person.
Giles

Giles

I can bring condiments.
Did I miss the actual geographic location of the shop somewhere, or pm Giles for directions?
Edit: Nevermind, found it 8)
-
I'm hopefully coming up from the States for this. Can anyone confirm the address of the shop for me. The address I have is 187 Steelcase Road W
Markham, ON L3R, CA. It works in mapquest and shows me about 4 hours from the shop.
I can bring 'tato chips, or something else unimportant so you aren't stuck without them if'n I am unable to make the trip.
I've gotta remove some injectors to bring up. 27mm deep well right? I don't have anything that big here, gotta go buy one, don't wanna buy the wrong one... (sorry for hijacking.)
hope to see ya'll soon.
tSoG.

Hey guys
Peformance Diesel Injection
187 Steelcase Road West, unit 16,
Markham, ON
L3R 2R9
www.performancediesel.ca gives you everything too.
Giles
yes it is deep 27, make sure you don't buy the impact (black) version
the inside walls have to be very deep, meaning the 27 has to go all the
way down without a shoulder. i found the Westward works well or the Gray
-
Hey guys
Lunch is going to start at 12:30 and the Raffel will be held at 2:00
Hope this doesn't conflict too much everyones schedule.
there will snack food too most of the day, cofee and tea too.
Giles
-
Wanna hang some balloons out front so everyone knows where the party is at? :lol:
-
Just look for all the diesel's out in front 8)
I got lost the first time, it's easy to find steelcase but the shop was a bit hidden. You know when they hide the building numbers? It was one of those streets...
-
Hey guys have a look at my website it has a picture of the front of
my building.
there is a huge sign to look for.
there is the address at the bottom of the sign also.
See you guys tomorrow.
Giles

DR DIESEL:
Just thought of it now...if your torque calibrating equipment is portable, bring it along. We can bring our wrenches with us for on the spot calibration, mebbe a gtg deal? :lol:
-
done!
-
shoot, I read that 20 minutes too late to grab mine :evil:
-
im bringing a friend. his diesel passat wagon is dismantled currently.
-
awesome meet! Thanks Giles. Nice to see all the familiar faces and meet new people.
You should do that 3 or 4 times a year, Giles!
-
I was snowed in... the plow truck got stuck in my driveway. :( I was unhappy all day because of it.
-
Hope everyone had a great time and learned a few things. I thought about it, figured I shouldn't commit because I plow snow as part of my day job.........
GOt called in at 3 (am) and made some double time while you guys were having fun! Played with a diesel all day though, 8.3 cummins in road grader.
-
I took a couple pictures and a short video of Giles raffling off the goodies. I'll post them when I get home.
Awesome meet, if was great to see everyone
-
was cool to meet some of you guys. informative gtg for me. thanks giles.
-
Thanks for everyone who came to the GTG Ontario meet yesterday.
I for one had a great day and it just flew by.
Thanks for all the food that all brought and was very much enjoyed
by all.
pls everyone who took pics pls email them to me aswell as posting
on the forum would be great.
Hope everyone enjoyed the shop and the company was great.
We all got to see each other in person and all the cars in the Parking lot
Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon
Giles
-
Thank you Giles for the hospitality, the day was a blast!
Thanks Dr Diesel for the testing, was interesting to watch.
Andy, hope you found adequate guk to reseal your wrench :P
Favourite thing I saw though was the 14L Cummins turbo...especially since it was in the Dodge on a 5.9L :twisted:
-
sounds like I missed a good one, will there be another over the summer sometime when all the snows gone when people can actully roll their project cars out of the garage?
Glad to hear everyone had a goodtime... Sounds like something to go to if your like me and missed out.....
-
D'oh I forgot about this. Oh well, I'm still hibernating like my Rabbit; GTGs are always more fun when the weather doesn't suck! :wink:
See you all in Spring!! (if it ever gets here!!! :x )

Thanks for hosting this meet, Giles! It was very nice of you to open up your shop and spend a Saturday there for us.
Thanks also to Dr. Diesel for his torque wrench calibrating services and to all the food-bringers.
Below are a few of the pictures I took, the rest are here (http://www.vwot.org/community/modules.php?set_albumName=album679&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php).
