Last skiing I did in Canada was Mt. Tremblant back in the '90s.

Dan, i'm pretty sure I met you on King Edward Sunday night around 6:45 or so... Heard this an awesome sounding car going by me the opposite way while I was stopped at a light, looked in the rearview mirror and seen a white RX8... *drools* sounds awesome.

Dan, I'd like to be turbo'd if that counts. Hey I come to Ottawa in the summer to visit family so maybe I could meet up with you guys. I'd like to learn more about turbo but don't see doing it.

Not too many white rx-8's running around Ottawa in the winter time.

At the last rx club meet in montreal there was 2 or 3 if I remember correctly.

2 greddy and one custom built one ( he dropped the car at mazport then picked it up a week later or something like that ).

--
Seems Mazdatrix is pushing much more the supercharger kits , a little hefty price, but worth it for the final product.

they look nice too

04 RX-8MT

Greddy Turbo Kit with Jeff's 3071 mod on the way
Vancouver BC

i think there are a LOT of turbo'd rx8's here, but 95% of them don't come to the boards, or that's the impression i got when talking to shops that sell these kits. they act like they've sold dozens and installed the basic greddy kit as is, but don't seem to know much about the tuning,

I would love to find a shop that has some RX8 turbo experience in the Montreal area.

Anyone?
