Montreal Rx-8 owners Give me a shout

Just trying to get a feel for how many people have Rx-8's in Montreal Quebec. hope Im not the only one.

I recently bought my self a 2004 Rx-8 GT Titanium gray with the works, but no nav package. Only using it for a summer car and something for me to grow into a bigger project. Anyone doing something similar around?

Meet up at the Julip perhaps?

I'm from the Montreal area (Chambly), there is a couple of Rx8 on the south shore I usualy see at least one per day.

Some of them are also member of the Club Rx Quebec (http://www.clubrxquebec.com)
We hang out once a week at St-Dorothé (near Laval). Most of them are rx7 owners but since this year many rx8 members joined the club.

As a member of the club you have access to the RX club store where you can find some stuff for your rx at a very low price. The profit is then used for the rx club, we have one huge meet per year at the end of the year.

Congrats for your new acquisition, I hope we can meet some time... not at the Julep for sure. Say hello if you see me on the road, I'm easy to spot. I'm one of the few with a red Mazdaspeed kit in Montreal.

Pierre

I'm not surprised, my car is a garage queen. I might see you if you come to the rx meet at st-dorothe in two weeks, I should be there.

On a ligher note, Ill be developing pictures I took with a friend of mine of my 8 and his Mitsubishi Galant. We took em in anjou at the Gals.

Anyway nice to see the variety of Rx8's in mtl.

Dude I would love to see your shop where your working on the 8. Gives us all ideas on what enhancements we can do for the street.

BTW to all, I'll mention it now, because youll eventually all find this out if I meet you but Im a recent graduate at Concordia in Film Production. And I actually had the idea of making a street racing documentary since I love cars and JDMs and the entire culture that Im now sucked deep into. So maybe one day Ill ask some of you guys for some help. Who knows?

BUT ON TO THE PICTURES... well atleast the ones I corrected in photo shop.

My Ti Gray 2004 GT Rx-8






And yes, Im still learning how to really drive it. its a beast to break in.

No need for any "enhancements" for the street, the car is great already. However the only thing that it's lacking from factory is a better sounding exhaust.
And don't forget to use at least 5w30.

Btw, nice pics, but next try having the front wheels facing the camera.
