Intrigue 8: congrats!!!

DW: Did u ever get that intake problem taken care of?

I've got $140 @ Alamo Sound & Security. A guy @ work (who also has a blue RX8) and I are getting ours done sometime in January if anyone else is interested...

Has NE1 had their 8 to Buck's landing for the cruisin' night yet? We've had a few people up @ the Forum, but I've never been to Buck's.

Bucks is a Friday night thing. I probably won't go until January. The Forum's (1604 & 35) cruisin night happens every Friday night as well. shawrf1 has the prototype greddy. The tint thing won't happen until after you get back, so I'll talk to the guy @ work and let you know by the beginning of Jan.

no web site yet cars: MY Mazda 2004 Rx-8, 2003 Nissan 350Z,1990 Talon TSI,2003 Mitsubishi EVO,Mitsubishi Eclipse 2003 GTS,2000 Celica, were picking up an S2000, and IS300. I got a call yesterday and a kid i grew up with said his big brother got a 350Z, and from my understanding he got the greddy twin turbo kit. I told him i need to see it to belive it. If u see any of the guys with the decal dont hesitate to talk to them they are all nice guys and love the import scene.

im going to talk to the guy today and get every thing on paper. i dont want to quote u any thing and he bump prices up out of no where. Is there a specific type u want (tint)? We go out to the strip. my friend takes the Talon and Eddy with the evo wants to get a boost controler before he takes on the 1320. Scottie has his Tsi in the low 13's. but its been a while and that was before his bigger turbo and his port ant polish job done to the intake and exhaust manifold. so well see later

That's going to be hard since most of the window (glass and tint) shops are local concerns. You might be able to ensure some guarantee through the manufacturer (3M maybe?), but maybe not.

I'm waiting until it warms up (to lessen any chance of flooding) before I approach my preferred shop in Austin and talk to them about getting the 8 done.

The manufacturer should guarantee it as long as their reputable.

Against defects in the product, I'd agree. Poor installation, I can see a mfr being less accomodating.

I plan on visiting my preferred provider this week and I'll ask about warranties & mfr guarantees.

I'm glad your happy w/ it! It'll great to see another 8 in the group. Have you broken it in yet? When did you get it? If it's broken in, you should bring it out to autox or SAR. Check out www.sasportscar.com for info on autox. We'll also post info about autox events on the yahoo group as well as the forum (http://www.utsaforum.com/alamorx)

thanks, i am proud to be one of the gang! it has around 750 miles on it, so it's just about there. i got it on march 5th and so far all is well. i don't see many 8s around new braunfels, so i get a LOT of stares. really cool.

how many are there in the alamo rx club?

5 that I know of. However, one/two of those is from texasrxs (we kind of overlap). I ran into DoobyWho yesterday and he's going to join up as well... The next major meeting will be April 10. Check out http://www.utsaforum.com/alamorx/index.php?showtopic=39 for more information. Some of us will be @ the autox class tomorrow @ Windsor Park Mall, but you had to sign up & the slots are supposedly full (if everyone shows up).
