I was able to EASILY identify what I was doing wrong when stalling etc. I didn't have to just wing it. It's been only 2 days and I' just got home from a round trip where I had completely smooth journey (for the most part, just bumpy a bit when i shift from first to second) with no stalls :P

I still have a lot more to learn!

Need smoother upshifts, especially from 1-2 !

I have my 3rd lesson with JC this week

PoRco - Congrats! I like the silver FR-S now too... have to see a blue one in person... red, blue or silver are my faves.
Saw a red FR-S heading east on Strandherd today - looks fast just cruisin' along....

I've gotten so many thumbs ups and questions about it already :P

Congrats on the new wheels. By any chance, was that you I waved at on merivale tonight. I was in the black one. My wife told us to grow up. She later admitted to being jealous of the brotherhood we FRS/BEZ owners are sharing. Argento looks great. Nice seeing Ken and Andre out at M & M last night.

Also, where in Ottawa can I get a clear bra installed to protect the front?

I have had Oiltrell.com recommended by one of the guys in Ottawa with a Raven FR-S.

Tell us where you end up going and how much - I'll get that done to mine eventually next spring... when I'll have one... maybe....

Hahaha!!! My wife says the same thing!
I have only seen 1 FRS while driving so far, so haven't been able to do the wave too much. A habit I acquired from Miata ownership.

Fourms! tihi!

Good morning all. Just a friendly reminder that there is what appears to be a substantial car show going on this weekend in Gatineau. The address is 1870 Maloney Boulevard Est. and is only $10 to get in. The name of the location is Amigo. I know that Trish07 from Montreal has been trying to organize a group to come up from the Montreal area. I believe there is 7 of them at last count. I know the weather is going to be less than stellar this weekend but i think I am still going to go Saturday morning. The gates open at 10 am. Does anyone want to meet somewhere before that and head over together?
