Welcome Jumah and congrats on the Green GT. You should see me driving around, as I live next to Standley Lake and always cruise down Wadsworth.

Enjoy the ride!

It's pretty much all I drive. I usually wave at other 8's when I see them. there are 2 or 3 that regularly run C-470 about the same time I do on weekdays, I think they all are under the impression I am insane for waving at them every time I see them :)

Standly Lake uh? Is that the black one that buried me on 104th Ave a few months ago at like 5am? I freaking ground 2nd that morning. How embarrassing is that? (And here I am admitting it. lol) I don't mind being out driven by another 8 owner though, was laughing my @$$ off the rest of the way to work that day.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome all. I am sure we will be seeing eachother on the roads!!

Yeah i get that too sometimes. I at least try to honk if I don't see the 8 until it's too late. I get the same weird looks, like I am stupid or something. I dont really care though i would give a wave to any fellow 8er. :D

Jumah, it wasn't me that burned you on 104th. I have a red RX-8, and that's too early in the morning for me to race. :D

It's the only time I would do it on 104th. And then only in the summer. Would never do that during th eschool year. I have a vested interest in that. School zones are like, the one place I can manage to keep it under the posted limit.

Oh BTW, I spoke with Navteq today about map updates. The disc will be available this month for around $199, and Mazda is supposed to send out a firmware update for those of us with early model '04's So be on the look out for that disc, and if you don't get it by the end of the month, call the dealership, as the new maps won't work on your navi without the update.

I don't know about spending $200 on the new disc. They would need to remove that (darn) Caution startup screen, and fill it with some cooler, 3D graphics before I would consider it.

Overall, I'm very happy with my current NavTeq disc, so I'll wait until I see the final product offering.

Hi Jumah, keep an eye out for the hot yellow in your neck of the woods and don't stop waving. You might see me as I zip around from school to school in the Adams 12 area. Mostly anywhere from 136th to 104th and Lowell to Colorado Blvd.

Hey my kids go to school in adams 12. (Charter school). Small world. I doubt I could stop waving even if i wanted to. I used to be a field tech for TCI (Then AT&T Broadband, then Comcast.... Next?!) And we had a standing unwritten policy of waving to one another as we passed on the streets between jobs..... I still wave at them from my personal vehicle out of habbit. Talk about getting crazy looks, You can see it on their faces, "Who is this fool in the nice car waving at me for no aparent reason....."

*sigh*

And such is my life.......................

Colorado Springs
 

I'm down in Colorado Springs. Owner as of late July :cool: .

Heyas Silver Shot! Gratz on your new 8 and welcome to the forums!

Finally
 

Finally got my baby, (ok I got it on 8-20 but I've been too busy driving to post :)
Nordica Green GT with Chapparal interior. And just in time for winter. WOOHOO!! Time to start lookin for a beater of a 4x4 for the snow days.
:)

Why is Colorado so damn quite? :D

Getting ready for PPIR Saturday (open to all cars/marques) and Sunday (Ferrari of Denver Customer Appreciation event, .... well it is a red car.) Just had Mike Mowry, Precission Imports on 4444 S Federal put in a Tien "Flex" coil over kit; along with a full, new set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 265/35's and order in a set of (? I think these will be) the "93c" compound Performance Friction brake pads.

If you want some Rocky Mountain division noise Zuhalter, you should get your self and your car down to PPIR for at least Saturday's event. I don't think it's not too late to contact QuickChicks (Leslie Howard) and get signed up.

Cheers

Weekend Meet
 

Hey, it's supposed to be nice next weekend. Anyone interested in one last meet before the weather turns completely sour?

I would love to this weekend, but I am going to be driving my 8 down to New Mexico. I would be down for anytime after that though.

Meet
 

Well, I deploy fairly soon, so just wanted to get in some cruisin before I go. What's goin on down in New Mexico?

Just have family stuff down there. I plan on being back in Colorado next week and would love to get the colorado people together.

Colo Rotary meet Nov 6th @ H.S. 12pm
 

We are having the final Rotary meet of the year Sunday Nov 6th at Hamburger Stand (3rd and Union) at 12pm. Hope to see a bunch of you guys there!


Will a moderator please send this message out to everyones email for those who rarely check the board?

Mike B w/ 3rd Gen RX-7
Mile High Rotary President

Yes...I will finally have my finished FD there.....heres some pics

I tried to post on RockymountainRX8 but it came up with an error....can someone please post on there for me?

Mike, Where? Denver? Colorado Springs?
Omnicron may be able to help you post it on RockymountainRX8.
I won't be able to go as I'm finishing up the year's Motorcycle Trials State Championship circut on the 6th but it's good to know that we're still around.
Cheers! -Joz-

I'll be there for sure.

Joz, that is in Lakewood. 3rd and Union. It is just off of Alameda and Union and near 6th and Sims. BTW do you drive a titanium grey with strakes?

Also, I believe the Rockymountain forum is no longer working. I may be wrong, but at the last meet we discussed removing it for lack of traffic and most people come here.

Mine is Silver w/ strakes. I'm mostly on the east side of Centennial with regular trips to Erie. I've removed my badges too (but still haven't filled in the holes!). I've been driving with just the holes since Feburary. I REALLY need to get them filled and painted!
Sorry for the confusion about Lakewood.
I may be one of the only ones keeping the hit counter working on the Rockymountain site (if there is one). I have it as my home page in IE. 98% of the time I use Firefox, but have to do my timecard in IE. If you think there's traffic it may just be me hitting the site. I don't think it's been updated for quite a while and this site is quite good as long as us Coloradans keep checking in on our forum. I keep loading the site just in case something is going on and to help keep it alive if we need it.

Maybe it was a silver I saw driving down University. I only caught a glimpse.

I saw a Blue and a Yellow on NB I25 today, why don't I ever see any when I am actually in my 8 damnit!

Farewell Second Creek!
 

Well, I just had to pay a visit to Second Creek (just East of Commerce City) today. Apparently they're closing. The place was packed with all kinds of machinery! Just in case anyone has forgotten how much fun an 8 is on the track: IT ROCKS!!!!
Much nicer to spend 4 hours with friends at the track than at work!
All I can say is that I'm looking forward to our next track day!
Cheers,
-Joz-

Any SCCA or other car club members in the Denver area? I'm planning on doing one of the free days at Second Creek this week.

I didn't know they had free days this week...is there a way to become an SCCA member on short notice? Also, does Rocky Mountain RX8 club count? I dunno

Go to the SCCA.com website and call them up. I mean I doubt people will be checking for ID or anything, so I'd just show up and see what happens. It's worth it to join SCCA though for $65 a year, especially if you want to autocross.

Want to take advantage of the nice weather before it snows?

Or maybe you missed the Rotary meet last weekend (shame on you). If
my car is going to attempt this drive...surely your rotary will make
it. So bring it out! This cruise is for anyone with a nice car!
If you want to go, let me know and we will meet up ahead of time so
all of the Rotarys will pull in together.

When: Sunday, November 13

What: Import meet and drive

What time: Meet around 10am

Where: Meet at 9 second racing (6900 w. 117th ave, 80020, 303-499-
7223) to hwy 93, and head south to hwy 72, which parallels Golden
gate Canyon, Take hwy 72 West, hwy 72 is an awesome drive, come back
down through nederland and boulder canyon and then stop somewhere in
Boulder to Eat. The guys from Evolutionm.net and AWDpirates.net
reserved the roof of a restaurant there to eat at, but depending on
how many people show up, we may not have room for everyone.

Well, shame on me for not checking. Looks like I missed all the RX meetings this year. The first time I got an email at home about a meet last year. Will try to check back on here in the Spring then. The days are starting to get colder now but I'll take the 60s all week anytime. The weekend looks to be cold.

I have had my 8 since August, and i live in the outskirts of Denver.

You should frequent here more often, we need more Colorado people.

Colorado Springs here.

'04 Winning Blue

I'm in Springs too. Black 2004 probably dirty as hell right now. :wavey:

Hope to see all of you at the March 06 meet....heres the details........

It's that time again.....Colorado's 1st Rotary meet of the year will be held at Hamburger Stand again at 3rd and Union (Lakewood/Golden) at 1pm. At around 4pm we will take a short cruise up to Red Rocks and take some more pictures with all the cars with a killer backround!


I need help spreading the word to make this our biggest meet yet! Our prior meets we ended up with about 6 RX-8's, 12 FD's, 8 FC's, and 1 FB, but expect to have as many as double that this time. We are expecting a total of about 40 Rotary cars total or more.

I had Omicron email everyone on RockyMountainRX8 and let them know about the meet March 26th. I will see everyone there!

Thinking of moving to denver. I love the snow and i am sick and tired fo south Fl with the really hot summers and hurricanes. I also love to snowboard

Welcome!

I am very pleased to be driving a brand new 2005 RX8. Silver, no spoiler purchased at Mazda dealership on havana. I live about 5 minutes away from cherry creek (15 from down town denver) So yea, I'm patrick just wanting to say HI and let you guys know I'm here :ylsuper:

Heading out to denver Friday night. Anyone want to recomend(or urge against) and mexican food joints around there. I only have dinner plans for Rasta Pasta one night and i have another 7 that i need to fill my time with.

Thanks

Bennys on 7th and um like by penncylvaina or so. Really good restaurant, and of course theres always chipotle. Mm hmm. :)

thanks. Anybody ride breck regularly enough to know where the secret stashes are? I havent been there in about 4 years and im looking for the areas where most tourists dont ride. Best glades and bowls. Help in that area would be cool too.

Not CASA BONITA. The place is kid friendly, but also a tourist venue and overpriced. And the food is not the best.

gateway mazda..
 

So they dented your car ey? thats terrible to hear, did they do anything about it or are you just stuck with it? Im taking it in for the first time tomorrow, and seeing as how i just hit 1000 miles I dont want anything bad to happen to it.

Newbie in parker
 

Just got my 04 rx8 used from burt mazda. (the place i just so happen to work for haha) its silver no spoiler but that will change when i get some more time. I cant wait for the meet, traded in my eclipse for this so a completly different type of car and so much more fun! :ylsuper:

Figured this is as good a place as any for my first post...
just bought my '04 RX8 last friday, so far so awesome, definitely loving this car. Reminds me of my turbocharged Miata in all the right ways.
Anyway, I'm also trying to figure out a dealer to take it to for the fuel tank recall, as well as trying to push and have the starter/plugs/battery replaced in the "cold weather service" thing I've read about on here. It's my daily driver, so I want to get it together now while it's warm rather than wait for potential problems next winter. Has anyone had that service done, and if so, where did you go? I'm in lakewood, but I'm willing to drive if the dealer doesn't suck. As far as that goes, how is the car in the cold? I'll get some snow tires next fall for sure, but they won't do anything if the car won't even run.
Hopefully I'll get some pictures this weekend, and it's good to see several CO owners here. I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time here...

Welcome to the board and what not.. We love you, unless u say the wrong thing like handicab or really anything that's wrong. But i still love you

Hi all,

Been on the board for a little while now, and am just getting around to listing here.

I''m running an '05 BB w/Aero package, no wing, and tinted windows.
I'm down in the Springs, so if you see a BB waving at ya, it's probably me, (or my best friend in his...Kyodai)
Hope to see you all around town, or at meets!

Cheers!

Since our big Rotary meet won't be until August.....I would like to hold a mini meet at this event. So all gens please show up.....It specifically states that this is for all models tricked out or not......Do not think of this as a Car Show! Just show up! I will have more details for you later!

Just spotted a very pretty ( I may be biased) Titanium Gray on Stout at 17th in Denver.

Hi all
 

Just moved to Golden from Austin Tx, I have a 2 week old 05' BB and was looking for some good roads to go exploring on. I would also be interested in any mini-meets over the summer.

Any of the mountain passes will be good roads for you. Try heading up I-70 and taking the Hwy 40 exit, Berthoud Pass is very twisty and a nice drive. You will end up going through Winter Park, Granby to Kremmling. Then you can follow Hwy 9 back to Silverthorne and take I-70 back to Denver. It will be an all day event for you but some nice places to see and stop to eat. There are factory stored in Silverthorne also (if you need to coax the misses into spending the day driving around the mountains!)
