Just checking in from Calgary, Alberta!

Just got my spark, its a 2up, tuned with Vtech. I even got her' out for a rip on a local lake and towed it with my old (fresh restore) 1971 chevy!. They both ran great! I have a weeks vacation coming up on the shuswaps and hope to put a bunch of hours on it!

Congrats and welcome!

Love the resto on the chevy. it would have been a great match if you got the orange spark

How are you liking the spark so far?

Cool! Welcome to the forums! I am in Ontario so if we both leave now we can meet in the middle sometime around September!

Enjoy the sled! I'm having a blast and pick up Spark #2 on Wednesday!

Thanks guys! . I really wanted the orange spark, but it was pretty slim pickings up here, my choices were pink or yellow! Haha

Net'. That sounds like a plan, the water might be getting hard be then though! Lol

So far the spark has been great, if it's nice in the Shuswaps I imagine I'll put on 10+ hrs so we'll get a good idea then.

Never mind the sparkler its all about that chev, just repaint the truck to match the sled! Couple of Canadians round these parts, welcome to the show

It's alright I would have made the same choice between the two.

Anymore pics of the truck

100% new from rad to lug nuts, Ramjet 350/Sm465/NP205, Detroit lockers front and rear, all new gears and bearings, brakes ect.... new interior, and the list goes on.

Great to have another Canadian here on the forum. Didn't really know that they had water in Alberta though,

Just you who will be riding it, or it it fun for the whole family?

 

[Phill]

Just me, there isn't a whole bunch of water here, but I frequent the bigger lakes in BC like Shuswaps and Koocanusa, ect.. Plus I am interested in building a mini jet boat for our rivers with spark drive train in the near future.

So clean I would eat off of it. Which headers are those?

 

[seaking]

being a car guy and seeing that i'm going to want to hear how it sounds

 

[Phill]

Headman 69830's (69230's are the same but painted black)

I'll see if I can get a clip up of her running, until about 3,000 rpm she rumbles nice then to 6K it really screams. Surprises kids around the local town at red lights

 

[GizmoK]

Im not a fan of painted exhaust pieces unless they are ceramic coat paint which serves a purpose.

Lol I would love to see a video of her running

 

[seaking]

seeing and hearing it running is a must.
