Sweet, invite them along for something (carpark meet and a cruise maybe?)
Can't be this weekend as I'm away in Auckland but with the weather starting to warm up i'm sure something in the near future could be organised...

No. He didn't. Im the only person he knows with an rx8 and he didn't ask my opinion. What a rookie lol.

This weekend doesnt suit me either mate.

If anyone wants my number to set something up, pm me

I could even try and convince Wifey to take the 8 while I take the 7...
I'm from Christchurch aswell and have just brought a rx8 a week ago. I would love to go for a drive and meet other rx8 owners and check out the cars.

Lol, dunno if we'll ever come close to matching your guys Mystery Tours but I like the idea of North Vs South. Maybe if both continue to gain support we could arrange a meet in Wellington or Nelson one year...

Yeah - that's kinda along the lines of what I was thinking . If you guys get a core of enthusiasts together and we do the same up here ....

Its a shame theres no boosted rx8s that I know of down here. But what I lack in boost, I make up for in being fearless

On a side note, does any chch member own a black cherry shinka rolling on gold wheels? Seen it on yaldhurst rd sunday

I will try get a register of SI members and talk to a few people.

On a side note, why the **** does something else break when I fix something? Now im getting this strange sucking noise (sounds like a turbo sucking) only at 8k to 9k (gearchange obviously) I havent noticed any difference in performance but I havent heard this noise before

I think most of the Chch members are on this very thread (Starion, you, me, Toshy etc) so here would be a good place to brainstorm ideas.
On your side note, no idea man, that doesn't sound like any problem I've read about on here...

Oh yeah Starion, I'd be real keen to have a look at your car in person by the way, never seen an actual Shinka (gold Works on Black Cherry sounds a nice combo by the way)

It looked pretty sweet lol.

I dunno what the issue is. I have no loss of performance. In fact I recently raced a rx8 and creamed it. It could be the exhaust gasket is fucked after I took off my midpipe and now there's a slight leak?

I saw another one on sunday on halswell road. It looked totally original. Mine has had a few minor mods.

I'm keen just to meet up and park up and talk about our cars. I know very little about them and am keen to learn.

For sure, was good times. Mint roads, awesome weather and good to finally put some faces to names/cars.
