If it's that weekend, I'm out. I'll be at Mosport all weekend for the OTA school.

If you push it into May and on a weekend, chances are you're going to lose people on any given weekend to some other sort of event.

Ok well I would like to try and accommodate for as many people as possible. Would Saturday April 26th work better?

Or maybe a weekday night?

Maybe I will make a poll tonight to help decide.

April 26th/27th is the PITL autoslalom school I'm volunteering there for at least part of the weekend.

Don't base it purely around me though, my schedule is ridiculous at times.

Definitely want to hear that! That's one of my options for exhaust systems.

Just wondering if anyone here put on their summers yet? Got a flat today (at the back tire), wondering if I should change one of the front tire to the back, and mount 2 summers at the front for 2 weeks or just switch out to summer tires completely.

My summers won't be on until it is consistently +10C, but I have more extreme summer tires (Dunlop ZII) than most people.

Considering it's below -5 right now, I wouldn't put any summers on at all yet.

Bare minimum for safety, I wouldn't drive OEM tires below 3, however 7 is the commercially correct answer you usually get from shops.

I'm down for a meet. You guys thinking daytime or evening? I say just post up a date and whoever shows, shows. Might be cool to even try a regular thing depending how the first ones goes Evenings usually work better for me but some Saturdays may also work depending on...work.

MXP cat back and front pipe, Toms reds, might have the clear sides installed by then..nothing crazy yet. Would have wheels by now but need a new set of pads for Hockey lol

I ran in the car with OEM tires between 0C and 6C. Every night on my run in drive I would check the outside temp gauge when I get to the 401 ramp that would determine how hard I can drive it while staying below 4000rpm.

I wouldn't drive it below freezing to be honest.

They aren't that bad really. I had my winters (Michelin X-Ice2) swapped out Saturday afternoon and rolling on OEM Michelin Primacy since. It was well below -10 yesterday and this morning. Less grip for sure but definitely not dangerous.
