Its pathetic no one waves they look at you like you an idiot so after today I have stopped any effort to communicate with rx8 drivers I do now know on the road and mark you loser i saw you parked in front of the white spot like 3 days ago

 

Hey i wave all the time :D

y'all cant miss me :p

 

i waved at a Winning Blue last night in Richmond.... Inconsequencial maybe? and I waved to a young chinese guy driving a Red 8 on Granvile and 72nd a few days ago......

there are a few 8's i see that i wave have waved at and all i got was a glare!! haha.....

 

Young chinese guy in red 8 on Granvile and 72nd
that is SO me
LOL

 

I left a note on a sweet white rx8 with a mazda speed wing on it. Hope He joines up

 

i get waves back about 25% of the time ^.^

 

There is only one 8 near me that actually waves back. I have tried to talk to some guys but they are like duh okay. I can't wait till the generic drivers trade the 8s in and we can get some real brotherhood or sisterhood on the roads like the sevens have.

So sum of the story, wave bigger if they don't wave back! If they look at us like we are crazy, well we probably are

 

Rageboy... you are 100% accurate. I find any 8 I have waved to, they wave back, I even get people trying to keep up with me to tell me they like the car.
Him (Eldon) and I are trying to plan a Stanley Park picture day, either August 19/20th, or 2nd weekend of September, we will be making a thread regarding this, but thought I would pass it out so people have a little bit of forwarning.

 

ooooooooo we gonna have a picture day!?!?

 

just to sway off topic a bit.. i was jsut wondering where you guys gals et your 8 serviced.. im looking for a place that would update my ECU to the current flash whatever that is?

i use to go to Westcoast Mazda since i bought the car off them.. and have no complaints.. but it seems that they are never upto date on recalls and "TSBs" or ECU flashes..from what i have read on this forum i do believe i am due for a 'flash'.

thanks
Sarim

back on topic.. im normally in Burnaby.. i rarely see peeps even look at my car...mostly young asians drive the 8 in my area... i have yet to see any brown person drive this car.. i feel special .. haahh.. anyways....

ill soon have the TSW volcanos installed on my car.. .. easier to spot me and dont be shy to wave back!!.. :p

 

nobody waves either here in toronto.. the rx7 drivers wave.. but the 8 drivers don't.. they're all stuck up!!


MrJynx

 

I don't know about you people, but I rarely look around at other drivers while i'm driving.. I'm either scanning for cops or tracking the movenent of cars next to, in front and behind me.

 

it's not like we're driving and actually looking at other people for long periods of time I seem to suffer from the if you look to the left your car will go left..

so in a sense i scan for cops, other cars, and other 8's I rarely see any 8's so it's not a big deal.. i'm more interested in making sure the moron next to me doesn't hit me (happens at least twice a week )

 

i perfer keeping my eyes on the road:P

 

I just recognize the headlights coming from a distance, or the shape of the front when its daytime, then I prep a wave hoping they might notice.

 

Twice a week?! You are kidding, right?

 

If other RX8 drivers waved at me, i would have waved back for sure...
I was once going on AlexFraser Bridge and a Blue RX8 "zoomed" by and then slow down... we went at the same speed for awhile and smiled at each other.

And I usually did hazard signals if I see other RX8 drivers ( if they saw me too)
So see guys out there =)

Im the black RX8 with "www.vcmc.ca" sticker on the windshield.

 

not to bother anyone.. but if anyone could be of any help on the above info it would help..

 

all the dealers get the TSB info at the same time..

theyre all linked to the same Mazda Canada system..

so basically anywhere you go should be the same.. and i sure hope you are not comparing the TSB info availability rate with US dealers because Mazda USA gets all their TSB stuff 2-3 weeks earlier than Mazda Canada.

Hope this helps

 

Well, I go to signature in Richmond, and they inform me if there are any TSBs required, as well if there is a new ECU flash they are going to add. Last time I had maintenance, I was having some bad break squeal. and recently, there was a TSB regarding the front breaks, they told me there is now one for the rear breaks, and they changed them. So, effectively, 2 years with the car, and new breaks all around. That is just my experience with them, others may have good or bad experiences from same or other dealers.

 

thanks.. i was just concerned thats all.. i read some stuff on the numerous amount of flashes available down south that helped with the performance.. and i was interested and was wondering if anyone here had thier car flashed with the latest..


PS.. visited MF technology in Vanouver and saw a Greddy turbo on an RX8 in person... sounded beautiful...i wonder if ther person is on this board.... it was a blue 8 with 20inch Chromie Sterns...

:D

 

i bought my 19 inch sterns from them

 

oh man!! there's gonna be lots of 8s with sterns on them in Van!! lol

I just ordered a set of 19" ST-2s in chrome...... i saw the Turbo one with 20"s on it when i went to MF to get my coilovers! looks sweet.....

 

is the turbo owner on this forum? i want to check it out ^.^

 

which coilovers did you get and how much did you pay for installation if you dont mind me asking?

Im looking for Tein Basics.. since im a street driver looking to slam my 8.. hehe
