hello fellow forum members! As my little red rx7 project is coming closer and closer to being registered again for the first time in over a decade, i thought it would be nice to get to know the local rotary community a bit more. You guys are very good at hiding from the public eye you know?
so where are ya! thats right im calling out ALL 4 of you What do you guys drive and where do you normally meet? Do you compete in any local events?

 

I'm here..well at least I think I am..Just not in the Capital..
too busy inspecting under the car to come to the surface...lol!..Pinion snubber..DONE,Finally!

 

I'm here . Driving my 79 sa whenever I can. I've been going to the Rideau Carleton car show almost every Wednesday night.

What is it you've been working on for the last decade? what model, year, engine?

 

I'm out in Kemptville, just received a 1984 GS as a build project.... give me a year.... or maybe 2 and you'll see me at the Rideau Carleton car show also.

 

the car i purchased has been sitting under a tree for the past decade. Im still working on getting all of the darn tree sap from the hood and roof
she's a bone stock 1990 GXL with 90,000 km on the clock. There are still a few things i need to fix before im confident it can pass safety and emissions but theres a chance i could get her back on the road by the end of july

 

I am here '93 Efini From Gatineau, not much events around here tbh that I know of hehe. as for meets i often go to Merivale friday Nights when the weather is nice wish there was a bit more to be honest event wise.

 

Nice, I have a friend in aylmer who had a JDM FD as well. He took me for a quick drive and i emerged a changed man. The car didnt look like it had much else done to it other than exhaust and some rims, but my god was that thing fast. Definitely influenced me to buy something triangle powered. Mind you this experience was years ago, the car has since blown a coolant seal and is being torn apart

 

im here too, car has been under the knife again for about a year. just need some tuning to get her going but she runs goodish for now.

 

hehe thats awesome hopefully he has it built up again soon

 

I am here too. I just moved back to the area from TO

I have a 82 GS

Don't drive it much. However, if someone wants to organize something I would come out

 

Another Ottawa-area guy reporting in (Gatineau, Le Plateau area). My FB is still in rebuild mode so I haven't been out to meets in a few years. Hopefully we'll get that done soon and I can be out and driving again.

We should set up a Local Heroes night or something like we used to - go have some beers and see who's still around, and who's new.

Hey Jon..wanna help me do a Clutch?

Haha, yeah I'd give you a hand, but I've got no time free for the next two weeks or so. Work has been crazy. If you're not in a hurry for it, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

does anybody have any spare sway bar endlinks? Stock plastic ones i had broke while i was trying to press in a new bushing

 

2 choices..Mazda dealer..I go to Youville Mazda,Orleans..
or do the s4 Lower control arm swap and get rid if the Plastic sway links on that s5.
The s4 links are metal.
Ibeljin..if you are ever in the Smiths Falls area Pm me before you head out.We can meet and shoot the Poop!

 

yea i was looking into ordering some adjustable endlinks from mazdatrix as a possible solution. I have some friends out in smiths falls so i'll give you a shout when i'm around

 

Looking at your Avatar pic,I see you have visited here already....lol!

 

My car is finally registered and has its own plates! Had no issues passing safety or the e-test, must be some act of god. If you guys are interested we could have a local meet and greet sometime before the summer is out

 

If I get her running right I'll swing by

 

The 808 that is. Anything rotary is still a long ways off being done

 

I'm still working on getting mine back into shape - it's been crap since before I moved here. I'm hoping to get it going this season.

 

such is the life of the car enthusiast i suppose. we could have a BBQ in gatineau park or something? some pretty nice roads in the hills there

 

I am down for that ^

 

If i get enough interest this weekend i'll start an even thread
