Hey guys.

I'm brand new to the forum (I literally just joined a minute ago), and I was wondering how many active members from GTA were on the Canadia board. I'm coming from the my.IS forum and we had a rather strong local community there, so I was just checking to see if there was some sort of a similar vibe over here.

I'm looking into getting an RX-8 and as dumb (to some of you) as this may sound, the local scene plays a role in my decision. If I ever get stuck or need help, it's a good feeling knowing you can log online, or call up a buddy to come out and give you a hand.

There are plenty of active members.

Chime in guys.

 

welcome

 

Define active. Active posters or active meet attenders? Since I joined in January there's been one meet and I think 5 of us. Where's the rest?!!!

Here I go out of my way and buy an RX8 so I can hang out with you guys and noone shows.

 

Welcome to the forum.
The RX8 community in the GTA is a definite plus with both social and technical benefits.

On your other post: Learn to use the search button or expect to be flamed!

 

They don't want to drive their precious cars in the cold! The big meets are in the summer but anyone can propose a mini-meet any time. Just come up with something interesting.

 

The RX-8 is mostly driven by middle-aged women, no joke. Don't count on many Tim Horton meets. The car is rare enough you'll probably end up hanging out with owners of other non-mainstream cars. To me that's a plus because the crowd tend to be a little more mature. Plus the rotary engine is always a good conversation starter. Most people don't know anything about the RX-8 and only remember the RX-7 they saw on Fast and Furious. Everyone think you have a twin turbo 300hp engine.

 

If active means grinding knuckles on your car, and posting occassionally then I am in. We don't have regular meets during the winter (because of the weather, duh), so activity is a little lower.

There is plenty of knowledge and know-how available for you here.

Well I was thinking more so like active meeting type members. I was never a huge fan of the Tim Horton meets, but I loved the BP/DB, Car show or go-karting type of meets.

The reason I'm asking is 'cause I was a pretty active member on the my.IS board and knew my way in and outta the IS. I never really dealt with a mazda, so I know if I end up buying the rx8, it's going to be a hell of a learning process. No pistons or anything ehh? What's up with that :P lol

Ohh and Darkbrew, thanks for the heads up. I'm still considered a n00b, so I'm gonna milk that as an excuse for being lazy as long as I can.
