Melbourne meet
I would be happy to move it to Sunday 28th September.
I think this should be our last date change though, lets get it on!
Is the same venue OK with everyone for that Sunday at 12.30 MD.

Thanks Japfan. The 28th it is at 12:30pm.
to confirm the location again...
At the cafe on the banks of the Yarra opposite Herring Island. Mel ref 58 G1, on the extension Alexandra Ave. It has a heap of carparks and should be fairly central for everyone.
So far, we have confirmed
Japfan, Stoli, Wizza.
Simondebbie and Andy P are you still able to make it? Please confirm.
Is there anyone else with an 8 in Melbourne that can make it?
Cheers, Stoli

Hey Wizza,

++dez...
10 days old. Very nice... 800km now
First time running up to the red-line finding the beep near the red line is not very loud . I think it can be adjusted right? I will ask when I go for my first service.

actually, I too noticed during my test drive of the RX8 that the beep appeard a little too quiet.
but in time I've come to be able to discern it over any other noise ( like 10,000 screaming rpm's ) and I'm kinda glad it's not too loud as it would prolly become a bit anoying.
you see I tend to hear it a bit * grin * infact I even got my first oil can light yesterday! wahoo!
fantastic to hear that otherwise it's running well - 800k is a pretty good effort, but I think you can do better * grin *
take Enrie Dingo's advice - I do..
"Go on.. Get out there! See Awswalia!"
hee hee.

I'll give you a couple of hints...
But no - I have not actually "raced" the car![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

- This is a public forum, so you wont find an offical admision of "track work" - although the brochure the dealer gave me mentions this a "use " use of the car.
- I have just happened to drive the car down this very straight length of road that happened to have a set of lights at one end, and I had to slow down after about 400 meters.
- There happened to be someone who had set up a timing system.
But no - I have not actually "raced" the car

anyone else willing to admit that they find themselves driving along quietly with others in the car and you can't help but talk about the little beep.. and then when they ask "what beep?" you clutch in and rev out till the beep says "hi there beeeep"?
sigh.. I've got issues..
