Does he have an 8?

I acutally didn't notice the mud splashes. However, upon second look, your 8 could really use a session with the PC DA buffer. The chick's car is shinier than yours. ;p

Hello All,

Sorry I haven't been here in a while. I hope you all had a great holiday season. I am still missing my car !!!!! I see more RX8's now then when I had it.

Congrats RXH8TED on the suspension.

Hi Mike. How are things going?

Yo, puddle lights arrived today. They look well constructed. The plastic is heavier, more substantial, than I thought. I hooked them up to a 12V converter I have to test them out.

Anyways, if I get to them this weekend, I do. If not, let's see about having a little install party. I'll see if we can go to a friend's body shop so we'll have the proper tools and persons to provide guidance if we have any issues. I'm sure he could let us have a little space either in the shop or in the parking lot to do the install.

Hey everyone.
I just moved to New Orleans from Houston. I was pretty active with the great Rotary club over there and I was wondering what kind of events (if any) there are in NOLA/BR?

Oh yeah, I have a Black GT 6-speed

i've never really messed with online car forums, so i'm not sure what proper online car forum etiquette is.. i mean, i've messed with srtforums before; i bought a few parts off of a local guy...

i say we cruise i-10 to the city and wait for other rx-8's to join up.. hehe

Just don't try to recruit females when RXH8TED is around. He's already failed miserably at least once that we know of.

Mine arrived last week. I haven't had a chance to even think about installing since I'm still trudging along working on making the new house to my liking. This weekend is most likely out of the question. Just keep in touch and either you will install yours first, or we'll have an install party on day before next year.

Actually, I think I might want to get this done before Mardi Gras, so let's play it by ear.

on the weekends?

well, i'm a really laid back individual.. i'll participate in whatever comes my way

as far as my car, i have a titanium gray 2004

but, it looks like i just got some bad news from my garage floor.. apparently, i left my car in the garage for 3 days and a quarter size spot of green fluid was on the floor.. tried to smell the coolant smell, and couldn't, but i'm pretty sure it was coolant

i checked the overflow hose, nothing, so i'm thinking it might be a new engine/rebuild from mazda for me.. sucks ***, but it's my luck

i keep leaving boards and stuff under my car and no more has leaked.. i'm changing out my oil this weekend and i'll inspect the **** out of it from underneath
