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.

DoobyWho

havn't gone to bucks yet and i've only been to the forum twice, once with you.

and no, i still cannot contact Thunder fabrications. *angry*

Intrigue 8

i was on military last night (12/08/03) and saw a gray 8 get pulled over. just checking what the boys in blue got ya for, if ur on. also im down to get tint spdspappy. the only problem im leaving to vagas the 28 till jan 3. so let me know when your going.

Intrigue 8

when do people got to bucks? ill go jus let me know. AEM and Injen have product numbers for the eight. but wont be released till early or late january. The greddy sp2 system is also sold out till the mid of january. went to my shop Maximum Velocity to find out.

spdspappy

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.

Intrigue 8

well my car club is about to get sponcerd (sorry cant spell) by a shop and they do tint there. ill get back to u cuz the shop is being taken over by a new owner and they dont have the computers up probley wont be up till the new year, but ill let u know the if we can get a better deal on tint.

spdspappy

Which car club is that? (sponsored BTW)

Intrigue 8

my car club is team intrigue

spdspappy

What kind of cars? Do you have a website?

Intrigue 8

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.

spdspappy

Do you guys go out to the drag strip, or is this a autox club? NE word on the tint discount?

Intrigue 8

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

spdspappy

I want something that is gauranteed any where I move to.

I think I've seen this crew cruising downtown ...

Q121825

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.

spdspappy

The manufacturer should guarantee it as long as their reputable.

Q121825

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 am just down the road in new braunfels. love my 8!

spdspappy

Welcome! Congrats on the car. Check out http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/alamoRXClub/ for the local RX club. What color is your 8?

Kevo

titanium gray. i was looking at world car since they are in town, but i ended up going through north park who picked it up from roger beaaly in austin. kind of the long road, but i got what wanted for the right price. thanks for the link! i am checking it out right now...

spdspappy

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)

Kevo

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?

spdspappy

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).

Kevo

spdspappy - thanks for the link! is it okay to show up tomorrow to hang around and watch? i am not 100% sure if i can make it or not, but it would be cool to meet up and say hello.
