ON Spring Meet 2014 Coverage!

Had a great time today at the meet. Met a lot of good people and saw some amazing rides. Glad to see such a big community of rotary's in and around the GTA. Here are some pictures I took. Hope you all enjoy!

Great pics guys.
Great turn out!

Looking over some of these shots, some questions.

To the RX-8 with the white lettering on his bridgestones:
I can't imagine how long that must've taken to colour that in. What did you use?
And why are you not running a stickier tire? The re760's are good but for the level of performance the 8 gives, I think the minimum street worthy tire would be the s04's

That RE RX-8 is very pimp. Very well done. I was impressed with it the first time I saw it at yorkdale. Unfortunately I never got to meet the owner.

RPM's car has some trick parts on it! The suspension alone is very note worthy. But I love the signature catch can.

Hevsnt,

Nice touch ups on those shots!

It was good to see some new faces and of course some regulars.

Can't wait for the next one!

Anyone took pics during the cruise?

Wasn't able to stay too long, but glad I was able to be featured in picture 3 of hevnsnt's post (black 06 on the end)

Really enjoyed seeing what others had done to their 8's, and loved getting to see some FD's too. Met some cool people as well, all in all great day, hope to come out again

Neo,

You are right those letters took forever to do.

I had to send in a rubbing of the lettering and they sent me back textured rubber letters the same size as the tire with Glue.

As for the tires, they were on sale when i got the rims, so i went with em.

I have a much lighter set of rims, ill be using for track days.

You had to send Bridgestone a template before they could mail you back the lettering??
That's hardcore! Lol

Cool about the track only set.

ON ...and more photos

Awesome turnout gentlemen! It's good to see some of the mods in person rather than just reading about them on the forum. Thank you all for sharing your wisdom...'twas truly a valuable learning experience.

Here is a link to more photos:

Nice coverage man, looks good.

Neo, I had to mail the manufacturer of the lettering "tredwear".



I remember seeing a bunch of go pros....where is that footage?
