It's black... automatic... definitely up for a meetup sometime. I've been prowling the forums lately and collected a lot of info on basic care of the rx-8... thinking about getting a viper remote starter so I can get the car up to operating temperature in the morning... anyone have any experience installing one?

How long do you normally have to drive it for it to get to operating temp? I live like 2km away from where I work (about a 3 minute drive) and my 6-cylinder winter beater barely gets warm by the time I park it... definitely not planning on flooding my new toy...

Yeah... pretty sure mine's gonna be allergic to being on cement blocks... lol... pretty excited to meet up with anyone that's interested... maybe get some inspiration for things to do to mine... I had a tiburon before... not many people interested in meetups in that scene... guy down the street from me owns a blue '04 rx-8 think he goes to the U... anyone know him?

Hi twelve - or is your nick number 12-0? It's almost time for a meet... I too have wondered what it would take to upgrade my head unit - but I must admit I have an insane desire to geek my ride on one hand - and to leave the computers at home on the other.
Probably time for a meet!
BTW - my workplace has filtered forums ( fora?) and blogs so it's been hard to respond and post at work - although I can see the email msgs.
Latest acquisition - Bluetooth OBDII reader for my Android tablet.

Picked up the car today!!! man.. it is far too easy to speed in that thing... nearly died at the pump too... but totally worth it... actually don't mind the stock sound system to be honest... thought it would bother me much more than it does... i have the in-dash 6 cd changer... not sure if it can play mp3's or not... anyone know? also... the bose audiopilot is a nice feature

As for the username... never actually said it out loud... just stumbled across it one day and it stuck... always sounded cool in my head

I was nearly religious about putting my 10" rockfords in the trunk but now i'm not so sure that the extra weight and corresponding fuel consumption will be worth it... lol... $50 bucks and all i got was 3/4 of a tank... and it was a little under 1/4 full to start.... nearly shat myself...

Too bad Fisher won't make DGRR, at a minimum, we'll be lost without his GPS!

I noticed there are two RX8 owners who work at Windsor Assembly (The minivan plant). One is a Blue S1 that has a set of 7-spoke aftermarket rims with snow tires and the other is a Silver S1. I work right by the plant and see them all the time.
I'll keep an eye out for you other guys south of the border![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
As for me, my RX8 is back on the road and driving great. I have to update my build thread soon as I have done a fair bit to it.

haha, I'm warantyless also. Is there something wrong with your car? With there being more and more 8 owners in the Windsor area, diagnosis and help fixing problems should become fixing/mod meets. I would like to host a mod meet someday in april, my car is getting enough done to it and would like to share the experience and knowledge with other enthusiasts. I've got a laundry list of things to do.
