Anyone going? I think it's on the 22-24 Oct in the Internation Centre... Near the Pearson Airport... I'm hopin' there will be some good deals for 8....

 

What else do you know about this car show? Are they new/used/modified? All types of cars i.e. sports/suv/family etc...? I'd go if it sounded like a decent show of different cars and accessories for the 8.

 

I think hybrid RX-8 has more info about it....if it seems like a good show....maybe we can arange a small meeting there on the saturday evening...just a thought

 

Hey guys, just thought I'd chime in.

The show is actually on Saturday October 23 (10am-9pm) and Sunday October 24 (10am-6pm). The show is focusing on something totally different from your typical car show [crappy civics, models which are all under the ages of 14, $25 dollar admission, $15 dollar parking). The platinum sponsor for the event is Bridgestone.

The show will be focusing on consumer education, entertainment and product liquidation for alot of automotive companies before winter hits.

On the consumer education side of things, you'll get to learn alot more about cars overall. There will be demonstrations with working displays on how fuel injection works, the difference between REAL synthetic oil and crude oil (I can introduce you guys to some of the ppl who were involved in developing the Mazdaspeed RX8 for Mazda that was used for TARGA racing in Newfoundland), how to pull dents out, where to go to school if you wanted to learn how to race, etc. There will be many other demonstrations as well as group seminars in separate rooms.

On the entertainment side, there will be F1 simulators free for all to try, a R/C car race/drift-off demonstration sponsored by Tamiya with a 'test and try area' for the crowd, a roll over simulator that incorporates a real rotating car that shows how a person would be injured in a car accident with seat belts using a dummy, and more. Besides all the cool demonstrations, games, and prizes for everyone, might I add you could WIN a Ferrari 360 Modena for a weekend!

On the liquidation side, all of Toronto's vendors are doing a MASSIVE liquidation on product to clear inventory for 2004. This includes tires (winter ones too), wheels, stereo systems, accessories, car care products, etc. Alot of vendors are cutting down prices by 50%-75% off.

Feel free to msg me if you want more info or go to www.allaboutcars.ca

Oh, and if anyone is curious about my Project RX8 before it goes into the garage all winter for wrenching... it'll be in the show!

See ya there guys..

 

Oh I forgot to mention, in regards to cars at the show.. off the top of my head there will be

Ferrari 360 Modena
Corvette C6
Lamborghini Gallardo
Supercharged S2000's
Turbo Charged 240SX's (Silvias)
Supercharged Porsche 993's
FULLY CHROMED PAINTED exterior widebody M3
Full carbon fibre front end DC2 Integra's

just to name off a few...not your run of the mill Civic with that big alumninum wing

 

Seems very interesting. I'm going this Sat. Anyone wants to meet up for that??
What time???

 

It's not until next weekend..

 

I'd be interested to go on Saturday late morning early afternoon. Anyone else?

 

I'll most likely be going there too. Saturday morning is probably the best bet for me as well. Luckily I have no exams that week.
