The Toronto show is also a joke. I've been to the ny auto show and I would really like to go to Detroit for the big one

OFT

Norm or anyone else. Did you notice a difference with the open flash tablet. Have my name in on the next group buy and just wondering if there was a positive difference?

well yes of course compared the NY. Detroit, LA, Tokyo, Geneva, etc etc etc... Toronto is a joke. but Ottawa is normally REALLY bad compared to even TO. most of the time in the past half the brands dont even show up!

Definite difference with the OFT.

Overall better throttle response and clearly more pull in the torque dip range. It's not completely gone, but it is greatly reduced. You'll definitely notice it.

I am seriously contemplating getting the header at some point. I want to keep the car NA for simplicity's sake and the fact that FI will just mean tickets.

Ottawa auto show - save your $$$ for mods - unless you can wrangle free tickets from a dealer (hey Ruzbeh where are you man?!?!)
Plus parking $$
I've been to Ottawa and Detroit over the years - no comparison but Ottawa usually sucks even for here

You guys are becoming too much "go" for me
I'm about "show"
OFT, headers, boost.... Not in my future

Who's lining up the spring cruise to ??
Not morhers day wknd or may 21 Calabogie wknd please

On a side-note, just came back from Bel-Air Toyota.. Don't go there

The guy practically told me to shove it.
Also, it isn't because I'm Asian that I'm an international student lol

I believe Andre has Conti DW and they've held up much better than my Pilot Super Sports tracking at Calabogie (with same lowering springs and alignment specs).

Yep, overall pretty impressed with the grip and longevity combined. I put them on at start of April last year and used them for track and DD duties. Probably did 1000-1500 track kms, plus another 12K on the street. They are over half done, but I'd say that's pretty good considering how aggressively I drive.

I'll second that. They were too busy to give me the time of day, so I drove to Tony Grahams and bought my FR-S the same day.

Hey Norm and rest of the friends,

I would have love to provide bunch of invitations for all of us forum members, but the Auto-show did not give us any invitations to give out besides our staff passes.
