->This is where i got my engine balanced. VERY good friend of mine. He also does a few stupid fast full blown V8's. Highly recomend Ang. Motor runs very smooth at idle (even with the 86c) and like silk at any RPM. Motor is SOLID mounted! i love it. PM me and i'll give you his cell#. Tell him Orange bug Pete (as many don't know my last name/he does) sent you.
Canadian Balancing
Scarborough
Angelo
The Kars and Trucks boys were sceptical about him. Gave him a small job and it turned out awesome. Now they use him for everything, including Steve's 3Rotor monster that will compete at the World Street Race.
-> Fiberglass
Good friend works out of his garage, known for his "flexable fiberglass". He does stuff like scoops, skirts for the ricer crowd. Give him a idea, or some sort of mold, and he can make it. Fits cars well as his fiberglass "flexes" not leaving voids from fiber being too stiff. PM me for cell #.
ohh...he's got a mold for a "W" decklid. Kars and trucks have it (stiff fiber), on their front engine bug. He (Dan) did some tweaking/modding my 911 shroud, to fit my Intakes/Superflo's. Etobicoke/Toronto.
-> Lanner at VDubCustoms for my 4x100 studding, while steering me towards fitting the 17's. Mississauga.
-> Metal Supermarket in Etobicoke on Norseman, East of Kipling
for all your raw metal needs. He's a VDub enthousiast with a blue standard bug. Where I/Kars N Truck get our metal.
-> Really good welder in a unit right behind the ^^Metal Supermarket. He's awesome with Aluminum. He put some extra fittings on my drysump tank.
-> Canadian Crank and Chrome (sp? i'll have to check)
for any "touchups/cleaning/polishing" cranks. East of the 400 and north of 401. Right beside the 400. Cleaned up some surface rust for me on a couple journals.
-> Quality Precision Crank
these guys will get down to the nitty gritty, to size/source, custom/proper bearings. i wouldn't use them for crank needs (couple stories). Use who's mentioned above^^. Etobicoke on Advance, East of Kipling.
-> Motex
for head work rebuilding. his reputation was great and out there. then the big racecar guys got ahold of him throwing cash. his workmanship is going downhill due to his developing big ego. beware. in Etobicoke.
-> Agostino Racing
V8 racecar guys. used them to "cut" my head to accept the K-800's. Pickering.
-> ME
for Parker hoses, fittings. Parker warehouse right around the corner from work. i get great prices.
-> Amsoil lubricants
Me. i'm a dealer. got the dealer thing for myself and friends. so if you want anything, my dealer cost to you
. i use their oil for the extended drain intervals. i'm lazy to change oil, as i drive alot. usually run 13-15K between changes. i just change the filter and "top up" at 6kish. sometimes don't.
375K on my '96 A4. motor runs like new, not burning anything, with same power.
490K on '89 74016V. still runs great.
'01 TDI as this motor is very picky on which oil to use. Amsoil has a oil, which is part of a small list. 100% synthetic, for Diesel use, CH-4 and VW 505 rated.
might try the 20W50 severe service in my bug. have been running Rotella T 10W40 mineral oil. thinking of going synthetic with turbo.
my questions are:
Sandeep, your "colour match paint" guy? (split crotch coolers)
where to source turbo "stuff" like wastegates, BOV's, and intercoolers?
This is off the top of my head. I could drive around when i'm bored, and get phone#'s/addresses. But, I should be finishing the split.
ohh.... there is this guy in Oakville........well that was a one time deal....
