So what's the deal 8 club? Footman no season kick off meet yet? As the weather gets warmer and stays warm, I figure the cars are going to be out. So anyone have ideas for when to start the meet and greet?

Maybe we can post up dates of weekends which are good for people and figure out where the majority is and set up a place for a meet.

West end, we usually meet at Square One, Falite's Irish Pub. East End, we could meet at The Frucken and the Owl by 404 and Steeles, North West in Vaughan would be Dublin Gate at the AMC/Dave and Busters lot.

 

Hes right !!! This weather is sexyy We need to have a meet happenin and you guys need to bring out the 8s

 

I think to keep the club alive, we need to do more as a season opener. There are several new faces this year, and a few old faces have disappeared. The weather is still a little chilly for anything like a full-on parking lot BBQ, because if we want to do that, there are parks where we can all park our cars in the parking lot and have a BBQ on grassy surface right beside it. It's more of a summery thing to do though, so we have to wait for warmer weather.

A spring opener.... I remember a few years ago we did a spring detail meet at a member's house in Mississauga, that was pretty cool.

Start brainstorming some ideas people.

 

2007 season opener was at Falites, 2008 at RPM, 2009 was done to the states for the wheels and all the other stuff we ordered, 2010 was pretty much the Mothers day track meet. 2011, what to do?

 

DGRR for the cool peeps.

 

I might be coming down to DGRR, me and another former member his bro, and maybe a cousin of mine, heres hoping will post closer to the date if we are.

 

A spring mod day is what we do in Windsor, we have winter meets though.
My car and many others have the butterfly effect in the spring, and when installing new things it's nice to have others there for advice and help. Detailing and waxing too.
I'll come out to a meet out that way sometime in the season though and pass through the black hole of London (I hate that area for some reason).

 

Sounds awesome, lot of the members of the GTA chapter are around, just busy with life.

Whatever happened to Mazda and them setting up a meet at HQ? Insert crickets chirping

A BBQ or even a spring cruise might be nice, to get the legs stretched out of the cars, open the throttle, i got a full tank of stablized gas to burn through.

 

Look who came back!
Good to see some posts on the forum.

So what's the story morning glory?

 

I'm always here, lurking, browse the forum on the bus usually. Life's been busy, I'll fill you guys in when we meet up.

We gotta figure out this season opener, and this summer we are doing an EPIC MEET for the annual meet.

 

when is the open rx7/rx8 meet at sherway? im down for meeting up on a friday and doin a detail meet then a cruise afterwards.

 

I'm up for a good kick off to the season. Anxious to get the 8 out and see you guys again. Been dormant for too long. Just need to take care of that nagging heat coming from the vents <argh>. As I recall there is a DIY fix -- will have to try and find that post.

Wow scott lol you finally returned. I thought you sold the car or something

 

wcs is coming my way shortly? How's the build?

 

Thanks dude! How is the turbo coming?

 

Never sell! Some life transition stuff is all but all is good now and the car ready will be ready to roll when i receive a new battery -- old one went dead over the winter. The small batteries don't seem to last as long...

 

i may show up in the focus if the 8 isnt on the road yet

 

are we gonna have a meet where we can fix the heater **** issue

 

Trying to finish up this build is killing me.

All the little bits left are time consuming and labour intensive.

Major delay right now is my radiator or lack of one, entirely due to shipping problems (curse you UPS).
Hopefully I will have a radiator in my hands by the end of the month.

I still need solutions for:

1) Exhaust .... downpipe to midpipe is a dogs breakfast.
2) Sohn oil container: I've got Darkbrew working on this. Thanks Warren!

Parts left to buy:
1) 100 amp fuse and block for battery relocation
2) Oil Catch can

Parts I'm waiting for:
1) Gauge Pod
2) Spark plugs
3) VBands
4) 3.5" Aluminum tube
5) HKSSQV Recirc valve
6) -4an to 1/8 NPT 90 degree fitting
7) Radiator

I'm working on installing gauges and the battery relocation right now.

Hoping to be running by the end of the month.

 

Damn! Reminds me of when I was doing some "upgrades" to the FD... I'm so happy those days are behind me. lol
You're going to enjoy the results... no more NOS for you.
