Towballs come in black or CHROME.
How could you resist?????? :D
Seriously though I'll take the wheels off your hands if you are able to ship them to Melbourne. I can pay you and discuss shipping in person when we meet up next week

Hmmm... I may be a little late up to the balcony. I'll be in the carpark with my tools stealing - um no I mean installing :o - a Mazdaspeed spoiler and some almost new DBA rotors & Hawk pads on my baby.
Do you think a black Mazdaspeed spoiler will look out of place on my winning blue.? Oh... And gibbo what colour did you go with for my, uh no I mean your rotors?
I'm looking forward to Wednesday now!

I'm gonna have to pass on this meet up unfortunately. I've been reminded I have a prior engagement on that evening. Would have been good catching up with some other forum members. Never mind, maybe next time.

Do you guys mind if i join in next week?
I just got my 8 last month and its my first rotary so i wouldn't mind talking shop with you guys.
My RX8 should be pretty fairly easy to spot - its V.Red and not modded at all
(yet). I live in East Melbourne so Doncaster is a leisurely 10mins drive away.
Regards
Rick

Rick PLEASE COME :D
I went to have a look JUST THEN.
It is as what Gomez said. It is very informal and you can order drink and food and sit on the side (very informal) and the area is very relaxing and refreshing.
PERFECT place
I have to thank my friend for this suggestion

Thanks Hymee
It is very informal... it is kind of a lounge/bar place with a restaurant at the other end. But I will rock up with my RX-8 gear :D
If we were meeting Lock and Load then he might request a certain dress code for ladies
For people who are "thinking" of coming. I will have a couple of copies of the Japanese RX-8 born DVD, USA DVD product update, technical menu CD and RX-8 manual CD ready to give out.

Cant wait to put somes faces to names and just to add to the confusion I will also bring my unmodified VR 8
But I do have a bootload of parts ready to put on
Just waiting to get them painted. It is a shame they dont come pre painted like overseas parts.
