I had a civic spin out in front of my TWICE at MOSPORT DDT today! Once directly in front of me and the other time he was going so slow, he blocked a line of 5 cars, and then spun out. I was 3 cars behind him that time, and he almost crashed into the other two cars in front of me!

Was it really cold out there yesterday?

The lightweight pulley makes the revs drop faster so it allows for faster shifts, not by a huge margin though..
as for the temperatures at DDT yesterday, it wasn't all that cold. A little breeze but i think it was around 16 degrees? that's what i remember the in-car thermometer said. I was on with all-seasons crap tires...and the traction wasn't all too bad (on some higher speed corners my car would jsut slowly slide off from the line on all 4 wheels)..but then again I wouldn't know anything about good traction since Ive never went tracking with anything close to decent tires

3:15PM - Saw a white RX8 w/ spoiler parked in the green P lot on the South East corner of Adelaide & Spadina
7:30PM - Saw another white RX8 w/ spoiler (this one looked like a 2009 model - similar to the one I saw in the Prima Mazda show room in the summer) which was parked in front of the Tait McKenzie building at York U

4-5pm on Thanksgiving Monday: White with tints and Ontario plates parked in the lot right by the skyway at Somerset Mall in Troy MI. I parked my BB two spots over from you and saw you leaving as I crossed over the pedestrian bridge.

Saw a silver RX8 parker outside of Croc Rock in Mississauga around 10:45PM on Saturday night......you had a vanity plate
Later around 1:30am on hwy 401 drove by a grey RX8 heading east....after i passed you, i slowed down to 105km/h.....so you could catch up...maintained that speed for a 1/4 mile stretch but i guess you were doing 95 km/h or so.....i took the 427 north ramp and i noticed you took the 427 south ramp

Saw a VR in Markham pulling out of an industrial complex along Denison near Woodbine. Had a mazdaspeed sticker on the trunk and some nice after market rims. I was in my winter car parked along next to you. Traffic moved so I just continued on ... wishing I was in my 8!

it was probably someone else, i haven't been around that area in quite a while and i'm the only one to ever drive it...and occasionally my brother
it's so frustrating to see so many 8s pass by and not even wave back or anything >=[ I've driven right beside a few Shinkas and i wave at them...and they just ignore...probably thinking that i'm not waving at them >.>
Just out of curiosity, how many of you guys are driving your 8s in the winter again (i know this is a bit off topic)?
