I'm almost always up for a get together if there isn't a conflict with life at the same time. BC. |
[quote=Bladecutter;3965614]Propose a time and a place, and let's see if there's any interest.

Thanks again BladeCutter for all the help with the misfire issue. Advance Auto currently has a "15% off 100 dollar purchase, plus $50 back. Was thinking about getting coils and Transmission fluid, then i would have the 50 for engine oil changes and other things later on. What do you think about that idea?
|
btw...my local Advanced said that they would get me Redline MT90 even though they don't store stock it. They asked for a 3 day lead time. Maybe you can get the same deal out there...but whatever you do...don't go with Royal Purple!!!
|
Whats wrong with royal purple products?
|
It's not that royal purple products are bad...they just have been known to cause issues with our tranny.
|
Is there an 8 club in Colorado springs just got mine and ready to go for a run we can meet at my restaurant.
|
I stock Redline products....
And I am in the denver area.. |

I went to the Pueblo Motorsport Park tonight and saw a white rx8 on the drag strip. He pulled a 16 and a I didn't catch the second run maybe a 17? at 5k elevation. Was cool to see a rx8 dragging locally. I am really looking forward to the track being repaved, I hope to try the 2.2 mile road course out soon. See you there?
|
Anyone in the Denver area interested in a red RX-8 AutoArt 1:18 model?
I'm just north of Castle Rock and always up for a ride. If you haven't been out to Sedalia yet... Oooooh boy that's a fun road :D Forget the highway number, but it's off Sante Fe, south of Highland Ranch Parkway. -Glitched |
I have just recently bought an '04 8. I see alot of you guys are in Boulder as well.
I'm in North Boulder/Gunbarrel area; work @ IBM |
@Blade
Hit me up on sametime sometime, i work NPS 6p-5a jack1@us.ibm.com |
Kraut,
That would explain why I've never seen your car on the premises. I head home at 5pm. What color is your car? I have the black one typically parked in Lot M, and there's occasionally a Blue in either N or M during the day, but I haven't figured out who owns that one. BC. |
Mines a dark silver with black wheels. I'm usually in lot N.
Haven't seen the blue one, must be day people too. I just moved to Gunbarrel, and theres another 8 (light silver) in my complex, wonder if that is slvrmzdrx8 |

This craptastic weather is going to have to leave town sometime soon. BC. |
I live near the academy and drive a silver 8. Tryn to make a trip to cripple creek next week play some poker or something anyone down
|
Nice to see more RX-8s active on here from CO. If any of you havn't joined up on the local Mazda Forums please do so. We just had a pretty big cruise on the 22nd and have two more cruises coming up in June. Links are posted.

Ill probably be at one if not both of these runs. Hopefully we can get together a good, Rx8 run together, with how many of us there are currently. What is the count, lets get a number. How many drivers are there on here that would be interested on some sort of set date run wherever we decide and grab something to eat after?

You can count me in. Give me a buzz, and we'll set up the where and when. Oh, they repaved the stretch of 36 between Louisville and Broomfield, so it won't be a crater filled warzone that you have to drive through again. I'm thinking that you should be introduced to Lookout Mountain, and Squaw Pass this time around. You WILL like those two roads. BC. |
Sorry about the miss communication today. I didn't know we were going to get something going for Sunday. Well lets see what we can work out in advance for Saturday next week, or Sunday again, Whatever's Clever.
|
Ran into an 8 on my way out of town on Sat on I25N...I believe the plate was "EMS PLT". Unless you normally are an autoxer you should probably invest in a rear wheel alignment. It looked like your rear camber was way off from where it should be.
|
Oh boy, thats no good.
|
So drive this weekend?
|
I won't be able to make it this weekend.
Maybe next weekend for me to join in. BC. |
No problem blade, we ill work something out sometime. Got a question for you i just keep forgetting to pm/email you. In regards to my comp test and such. Ill get ahold of you tomorrow though.

This my friends is what we need to be working to right here, we need to get something like this set up. |
Gotta love the NY/NJ guys...great bunch of people.
|
Ya, we need to get a headcount of how many available RX8 drivers are in the area so for the counts at like 4 or 5. Please correct me if im wrong. I saw a red series II at BurgerKing today in Gunbarrell, never seen it before though. Why don't we set up something for next weekend to go for a little ride and meet up at BW3's somewhere and grab some wings?
Maybe im the only one that is very envious of that video above lol. |
This cruise was fun as we had to go up a 4 story parking garage to get the shot.

Pic is not working as far as i can see man.
|
Got a new engine last week seen three 8s in for the same thing. Anyway I am a chef in the springs screw wings dinner and beers on me if we meet up down here.
|
Sorry about the image folks...was moving some stuff around on my website and forgot I had just linked to it. All fixed...
|
Hey 8ya,
Im assuming your going to Penkus, which one though (Woodman or Motor City). Had my engine tested at Woodman last month and failed compression but they wont touch it until I get a new cat and get rid of the CEL im getting. |
I went to motor city and diane was my service rep. You must have a mid pipe. Better go to U pull or dons sports car salvage in pueblo and pay for a used cat and and get a free engine. Good luck! When you get her runnin hit me up!
|
Hey I was wondering if there are any other 8 owners in the Canon City area. I saw a black or black cherry RX-8 on highway 50 and turning on 9th Street yesterday. It had the plate in the window and it sounded like an aftermarket exhaust. I've seen many other 8's around town and I'm surprised that no one is on the forums. But maybe I can't find anyone lol

Oh it was a great event that the IndyRX8 guys put on. Unfortunately lack of interest and the amount of work that they put into it has made it so they didn't host it this year. :( In 2009 though we had a caravan heading to the event that was 30 deep heading from Dayton to Indianapolis. Unfortunately for me I guess, you guys seem a little more loose knit then we are up here in Cleveland. There for a while we were meeting monthly with 10 - 15 RX8s regularly attending. We would do things from just going out to dinner for some fun, to ripping apart a part out car, to doing parts installs for others.
|
8ya,
Yeah it had a midpipe on it when I bought it, put a Mangnaflow cat on it but the CEL came back. Saving up to get a DaveSport cat because everyone says that one doesn't through a code or maybe even the cat midpide from the RX7 store. Cant wait to get the engine swapped so I can play again. |
Ya i keep pushing for anything, but no one bites, i dont get it lol. Hopefully we will get something here soon.
|
You might try the spark plug fouler mod for the o2 sensor it might hide your CEL long enuf to get your new engine approved. It took my boys away for like 300mi. Slvrmzdrx8..... your right we need to get something going before summer time is gone....
|
I'd let ya borrow my OEM CAT Ender if I was out there but I'm still having house hunting problems. Heck...I know a bunch of people out here that would be willing to loan you one just so you could take it in...even some with bad ones that would be willing to let you borrow it for the chance of getting a new one. Where's the support of the club out in Colorado? Anyways...8ya is right...a fowler might just do enough for you to get rid of the CEL long enough for them to get you a new engine.
