Greetings,

We're a Toronto, Canada based company interested in supporting the G8 market with hardcore aftermarket components and engine kits.

At this time, We are leading FWD/RWD manufacturer of custom parts dealt through our network of dealers throughout North America.

We see these specific models as excellent platforms and would love to support your vehicles with such products as, Camshafts, Entire Valve-Train components Cylinder Head kits, Fully-Built Engines, Drive-train components, bolt-ons (cold air intakes), suspension upgrades, headers (polyurethane mounts, coil over kits, etc.)

Pending approval by the moderators of this site, we will post more information about our company. We hope there will be enough support!

Let us know your interest!

Where are you guys located? My Fiance's family lives in the Vaughn area.

As production kicks into gear and more cars are on the road we will have vendors in a similar fashion we do on LS1GTO.com.

I see that you focus on the J-body/ecotec stuff. No problem tho.... we hope to have a bunch of Candian members and I know shops up there are not common.

I do have a question tho - what are you speaking of with the mitsu models? the V6's?

We're in Etobicoke, Devil-Yellow. We do focus on the the mitsu models, but rather focus on the G8 V8/V6 engines. I'll edit that out so it doesn't add confusion.

Yup, we're anxiously waiting production for these cars. Can't wait to see some roll off the assembly line!

Cool. Well the V6 is the same as the old CTS (Not the new one). The V8 will be a snap to work on. They dont really need heads. Headers, exhaust, and removal of the AFM and a cam would work out well after tuning comes out.

Welcome to the forum :)

I would be very interested in a full exhaust system including long tube headers (4-1) and a dual 3" x-piped exhaust.

Great.. It's a really nice platform to work with. We're really hyped up about making products for both the V6 and V8 cars.

Of course, the only way to make killer products is to have access to a car locally for fitment and R&D. Some of the products that we've developed took a great deal of time to make, (from the design phase to the release phase), so patience is a must!

Does anyone know if the G8 is actually going to be released in Canada?

**EDIT: nm, it will be available in Canada as well. This helps testers, such that they don't have to venture in from the states.

You may want to partner with an Australian shop. The Aussies have had this a full year ahead of us, so rather than go through the expense of designing your own parts, you could just distribute theirs.

Another thing to try is just design some heads off an LS2. The LS2 and L76 are basically the same with some different work on the intake side, maybe the headers on the LS2 flow less but the bolt patterns are still the same. Designing those 4-1 headers should be quite easy off that (I'd like a pair of those just like Immortal).

I'm glad there's already aftermarket interest in a car that has yet to be released! :)

Werd!! I have a 98 prelude and 10yrs later they only have a handful of aftermarket products.

I would be interested in a full exhaust and cold air intake. I'm hoping that would bump it up to 400 horses.

yeah, all the hype from the aftermarket (JBP especially) is because this is a really cool car... dare I say it, cooler than the GTO and cooler than the f-body. I mean, look at the stance and the design, the interior, its really an exciting car overall...

Opinions still vary as to which car is the :quoties:coolest:quoties:. Each has it's appeal (& worse, their drawbacks). So far, the only drawback to this car are the delay for the 6-speed transmission & the stigma that comes with driving a sedan. But, since a larger amount of performance cars are going 4-door only, this just seems to fit right in.

My list:

Headers
catback
intakes
lowering springs that dont horribly ruin my ride
gauges (cars never have enough of these)
blowers and turbos
rockers and cams
beefed up suspension parts
appearnce mods

Really, we'll have to see what we don't like about the g8 and go from there. That is why we mod right? To fix what wasn't right to begin with.

Biggest drawback IMO is no HUD, GPS, bluetooth...

The best part of a sedan is when you smoke 2 door sports car with the family truckster.

I'm very pleased to see this car make it to the US cause it is a world contender.

It's also the basic platform for the higher end line of the Holden/HSV/Vauxhall/Chevy vehicles. I'd most certainly would spend more dough for those higher models rather than the G8 GT version. GM certainly should have just put Pontiac badges on it and left the front end like the SS-V. For those not in the know regarding this car being a Holden probably wouldn't know its origin or care.

Bingo, right on. Sold more cars and saved some tooling money too if they left the front end as it was. If you ever doubt the inability of GM stylists to botch things, just cast your gaze on the front end of a Chevy Uplander...


This car will appeal to American drivers in a higher price bracket who are going to be put off by the thought of driving a Pontiac, but who could have lived with discreet badges if it had the Holden front end. Moreover, they will expect GPS nav and Bluetooth, find them missing, shrug their shoulders and head off to the German and Japanese dealers. So as usual, GM launch a car with great potential but they just seem tone deaf to what would attract buyers. It's a shame, it really is.

I hear Bob Lutz is retiring soon. I would be most pleased to nominate you to take over and set those poor GM fools straight.:hail:

If the Marketing and research guys take note from the responses from the first buyers from what is wrong or missing the next year's buyers may get a better car. Basic evolution of cars through their model years at least gives some hope for some of the options the 08 MY is missing. Prey but don't hold your breath.

Most people don't even give input. So the manufacturer can do nothing but assume that the people are happy. Most input comes from satisfaction with service and quality.

I report every flaw I find to the manufacture threw their surveys and/or emails. I let them know about every miss aligning panels, window trim and door gaps, and options I would like to have that are currently not offered. I feel you cant expect what you don't inspect. I've found more flaws in my 04 Cadillac DTS than I thought possible for this expensive of a car, but I've let GM know how disappointed I am in this POS:shiner:. I've had the gear assembly replaced twice (warranty) and it needs it replaced again. Thank god I only have a month and a half to wait for the G8.:turbonaughtdy_1:

Everyone should report every flaw they find

Well we're startings gents... We've begun making a replacement lightened crank pulley for the V8 and the V6... With the pre-release specs on the stock balancer, we're able to start the drawings for an aftermarket T-6061 pulley and should be ready to test on vehicles pending their release.... Stay tuned for cams, suspension and a whole heap of other goodies.

Hopefully you sell underwear as well.. I think I need to replace mine..

The Car has twin scoops. It is wearing the Pontiac Badge. It has a V8.

Can you say "Ram Air"

Give us a kit with a big honkin' cam, parts and pieces to make the scoops functional, some easy bolt-on headers, and a cat-back exhaust system that sounds wicked awesome, throw in some "Ram Air" decals to tell others to back off - and call it:

the "Ram Air VIII" kit.

Now that would make it sweet!!!!!!!!

Excellent idea!!

Overuld, I love the way you think. I have been wondering how to make those twin scoops functional since I saw the concept at last year's Chicago Auto Show. Who needs an Over-The-Radiator Intake when you have these inlets so perfectly placed. Does anyone know if the scoops on the G8 hood are seperate pieces molded in? They could easily be opened up with a little Dremel surgery. Then we just need a replacement filter duct in front of the MAF. The Ram Air VIII is extremely clever too. At first I was thinking you made a mistake, since there was never a Ram Air VI or VII, but then it dawned on me (it's a bit late!) VIII for 8 as in G8!

It would be great if JBP gets into parts for the G8. They just need to be a bit more reasonably priced than with the J-Body stuff, and they need to be shipped in a timely manner. The quality of the part I ordered was good, it just required plenty of patience and follow-up. Perhaps things have changed for the better. If so, I'll be a customer again.

The scoops are designed similar to the GTO scoops. There is a rubber stoppers to plug up the flow. The flow into the opening isn't very large, so don't expect there to be a noticable power increase from taking the plugs out & putting a new air box there.

2009 models will have functional scoops. :)

Interesting, where did that come from?

Oh yeah! I am thrilled to hear that GM will take care of this. I was already waiting to see which aftermarket company would help make the scoops functional.

I realize that there is no way these scoops will provide "functional ram air," but at least pulling cooler dense outside air into the motor sure won't hurt.

Unless your paycheck has a GM logo in the corner, I'm gonna have to ask for a source. The GTO was designed as a performance machine, but their scoops weren't functional for Ram Air. Yes, you can get cool air onto the engine & give the heat another exit. But, it provided no HP advantage.

Too lazy to find it, but I believe it was mentioned in the 09 model year thread. I'll look later.

And as far as functional, they might just mean that there is actually a hole in the hood with air in and out capabilities. I don't believe it's a ram air hood. I don't think the 08 g8 has holes does it?

Just posted about the new upcoming features

anyone close to us take possesion of the G8 yet?

Based on my experience with motorcycles, the issue of ram air is moot until you get to 80 mph or so. If you aren't traveling fast enough to generate sufficient pressure in the air intake, the engine at higher revs will still be sucking air harder than the intake is pressurizing it.

Considering that the ram intake on my Kawasaki ZX-12R is about the same size as one of the hood scoops on my G8, I think it's safe to say that a truly effective ram air intake for a 6-liter V8 is going to have to have a pretty big hole. ('Course, my ZX-12R has four 43mm throttle bodies so it's really moving some air.)

Hi-po motorcycles also have air boxes that serve as air accumulators and help smooth out intake pulses. An air box combined with ram air ensures a steady and consistent slightly pressurized air supply (at speed).

I hope I'm not talking out of my ass here, but from what I understand an effective true ram air intake involves more than just routing a hole in the hood to a carb or throttle body.
