Not as bad as I thought it was yesterday when I first looked at it... still worse than typical curb rash. What's really annoying is I wasn't driving carelessly or anything, I always make sure to go wide on that corner cause I've seen people clip it a few times. Oh well... life will go on.

What up guys!
Just wanted to introduce my self to everyone in my area. After many months of research and test drives, I finally decided an RX-8. After two months of ownership it still manages to impress me! My only complaint is the MPG but with my 12 mile commute via city I suppose it is normal... Anyway...
It sounds like you guys are pretty active when it comes to meeting up and working on cars. This is always good to see/hear and I wouldn't mind helping out sometime if I can.
Do any of you goto the texasrxs.org meets? I found this group of someone's sig and since it was close to me it sounded interesting.
Is there a group that meets up for track days at that road course in San Marcos?

If you guys do another install night I might stop by. It would be helpful to see how things come apart interior wise instead of the self discovery route...
I believe Canaryrx8 is the guy I was referring to. He is the one who admins the Texasrxs site I think...

That's a cool design... depending on what the design for the SARX thing is I'd stick one on my new car lol.

Scary stuff, my stands are 3 ton units. That's why I always leave the jack under the car too. I saw this happen first hand but not with jack stands but a jack. Luckily it was under a dually and when it landed my friends dad was safe by a few inches. The jack just dropped. Definitely scared the **** out of us.

Yeah it would be hard for a 3,000lb car to cause two let alone three, 3 ton jack stands to fail. But at Northern Tool they have these huge stand that I have been looking at getting. They make them in 6 ton or 12 ton models ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Not to shabby, 9k - how's that new mid-pipe? Tired like heck to get over there, just couldn't make it. Too many weekend chores
Damn can't wait for the wifey to get back.
