I know this is a bit late
 

Try checking out this site.

Yes I know this was from WAY back in the day but I have not really seen any real info on this so far here. I have to really start looking into this soon since it looks like I may be moving out that way towards sept time frame. I registered in the website to get the ball going early still have not gotten the activation email yet but hey it has only been a few minutes :P.

Seems like the Dunlops asre the better choice. I'm a little suprised. I have heard good things on the Blizzaks.

I guess one would have to check out which has longer life. I have not been in the snow yet with my 8 so have lived with stock so far. Will have to get a second set when I get up there. Has the club died or something? I have not seen any real activity in a while and I sent my info to join the club website but still no action :(

The website has had no activity. Most of the 8 owners aren't on very much, and it is VERY hard to get us together. For the most part, I am up for things on weekends, unfortunately things have worked out in such a way that I have an 8 to 5 job. The 7 owners do a lot of things, and they are a good group, but sometimes it seems we are the step kids, and I mean no offense to the 7 owners.
If anyone wants some help organizing I will do what I can.

When I do get up there I will be in the Grand Junction area, but I will still be up for doing almost anything with the group. I am not sure what my schedule will look like but will do what I can.

Wow! That is an old post! I eventually went with a set of Pirelli P-Zero Neros. And love 'em! There was a loooong discussion on them here.
I've had the set I bought 18 months ago, and am still very pleased with the overall performance. I hated the Potenzas, simply because they were just unpredictable on the snow... no, I take that back; they were predictable. They simply sucked. Haven't heard too much on the Dunlops. But a quick check of the tire forum might be in order.

We are also getting close to announcing a Rotary Meet here in late August / Early Sept! Stand by for more details!

Hey All

NooB here, just bought my first rotary vehicle 2004 Red RX8, I use to own a 2001 Prelude SH so it is a big change for me. I do love my new RX8 do mini meets ever happen in the Colorado area?

Windows have been tinted, picked her up on Tuesday with 16K miles. I'll get better pics up later next week.

so when are we going to have a meetup guys? I really want to get out and meet up on either a Saturday or Sunday in the next couple months before the dreaded Colorado winter hits. Let me know if anything is happening.

We should try to make a run up to Cripple Creek when the Aspen trees start changing color.
Nice curvey road, could be fun.

Im from NM but will drive up to CO if anyone picks a meeting party. There is one down in new mexico on the 27th. PM me and I shall join you all.

(psst... or is that not allowed ;) )

Lets agree for a Estes Park meet on September 30, 2006.

Colorado Mazda meet Sat Sept 23rd at 1pm
 

Our last Rotary meet of the year will be Saturday 9-23-06 at 1pm at Sill-terhar Mazda at 120th and Wadsworth. We have the entire parking lot across the street from the dealership which will hold about 100 cars.


At 3pm we will be taking a cruise to Central City / Blackhawk to take some pictures and take the Super hwy (4 lanes and very curvy) back to 1-70 to head home!


Like before....I will need some help with printing out flyers to take to all the Mazda dealerships in Colorado. Can someone make a flyer for this meet that looks cool! Make sure it has at least a picture of an RX-8 and has my Name and number (303-929-1998) at the bottom for any questions.


I need someone who will visit the dealerships in the following area's

Colorado Springs
Fort Collins / Greely
Boulder
Aurora
Northglenn / Westminster
I will do the Denver Metro area



Since our Spring meet had bad weather (very windy) and we skipped the Summer meet.....let's make this fall meet the largest one to date. Our Spring meet even with the wind we had 30 cars total (11 FD's, 11 FB/FC's, and 8 RX-8's). Our previous Spring meet of 04 was our previous record with 20 cars total.

Mike B

Well hopefully I will have time to take mine into the shop and get the door ding fixed...long story...Hope to see you all then

I am looking for a roomate around the lakewood/denver area. Lookiing to move in november/december. Hit me up if you think you might be interested. Thanks,
Will

How much are you looking to spend for rent? I did the loan for a friend of mine that moved to Florida almost a year ago and still hasn't sold his condo yet. The condo is close to Hampeden and Sheridan and is trying to sell it for about 120K or rent it out. If you interested, I can give you his number. Email me at MichaelB145@aol.com

Or if your interested in buying a house I can do the loan for you as well.

Mike B

Emailed. :)

MichaelB145,
Are we still on for the meet this Saturday? If we're on, emailing all Colorado/Wyoming club members would be a good idea. I don't know how do do it, but its been done before.
Let us know,
-Joz-

The meet is still on for this Saturday......I have posted everywhere including.....

Mile High Rotary Club yahoo group
RX7club.com
RX8club.com
RX8web.com
RockyMountainRX8.com
ColoradoRacing.net
COSR.com
HighAltitudeimports.com

Plus Silterhar Mazda will have every RX-8 from there inventory in the lot across from thier dealership where we will be located. I will try to contact Omicron to see if he has a way to email all the RX8club users with Wyoming and Colorado listed for location.


Please spread the word....if the weather is decent it should be our biggest meet ever....Last spring we had 12 FD's, 12 FB and FC's combined, and 8 RX-8's.

Mike B 303-929-1998

Call me if you need directions

I'll be there.

I hate to reschedule this meet for those who could have made it on the 23rd but can't make it on the 30th but today I looked up the weather on www.weather.com and it easily made up my decision showing the 30th is supposed to be 71% vs 56% and raining on the 23rd.


Very few meets do I actually call every person in my phone and I will be doing this to create a huge turnout. Even though this is an official Rotary meet....I opened the meet up to "all Mazda's" as well. I will be parking them in a different area. Please spread the word!


What: Mazda Meet
When: Sept 30th 2006
Where: Sil-terhar Mazda at 120th and Wadsworth
Time: 1:00pm - 3:00pm Then cruise to Blackhawk/Central city for pic's
Who to contact: Mike B 303-929-1998 or Adam 303-469-1801

aw, too bad this wasn't on oct 30th!! I am visiting the denver area for about a week towards the end of this month before I move up there in Dec. If anything's going on/anyone wants to meet up let me know. I am planning on going out drinking with a friend of mine a couple nights but other than that, looking at apartments, and schools in the area, I will have a lot of free time to do whatever. Can't wait to get up there,
Will

Oct 30th will most likely be cold! And nothing goes on during the week. If you get out here on the 29th....there should be some people meeting at Sonic in Littleton.

Hehe, I bet so... I will be getting there about the 25th and will be there through the end of the month. I will let you know when it gets closer as I'd like to meet some car fiends before I move up there. Thanks for the response,
Will

You will really have to check out Sonic at 96th and Federal in Westminster Colorado. We have had about 300 cars there every Friday night.....that would be the biggest meet you will find while out here!

i will be going to Denver the 1st week of jan to go snowboarding in veil an dother parks....

Ok, who else is tired of all this snow, my baby has been out of the garage all of 4 times in the last 4 weeks. :mad:

Yes! I am so tired of the snow! I tryed to bring her out once before christmas to get a christmas present, and well 400 dollars later I had to replace my oxygen sensor due to the car being scrapped on the icey ground :-(. Today will be the first day I try taking it out since. I am very excited to drive it again, hopefully my side street isn't that bad.

The bright side of all this snow and not driving the 8, is it kept my miles below 15000 for the new year. but thats all.

So yesterday I tried to start up the 8 but it wouldn't start. My first thoughts were the battery because it had been sitting not driven in the cold for 4 weeks. However, the lights worked and radio and all that stuff. So second thought was that it flooded, well I was right. Turns out my dad had started her up so he could move it to dig out snow but he didn't know about the warm up and yep, flooded engine :-(. The good thing is, I used the instructions given by Mazda to fix the engine flood, and it worked! So all is well again, alright.

My girl has been out for two days now, just in time for more snow. :crying:

Well atleast I've been doing some snowboarding and the 6 is much better for hauling gear anyway.

I just got mine this weekend after havin a dsm for nearly 4 years and im glad i made the switch :mdrmed:

Heading out to Colorado Springs, Ft. Carson area by early April. I'm comming from Ft. Hood,Tx. Hoping to see more people out in that area with 8s. See my profile for pics. Colorado springs, get ready!!!!!-

I live in dallas but I go to vail everytime i have a break. I saw a red 8 with a sticker (cant remember where or what the sticker was) in the vail village garage. was this ne1?
-BigRed

4 ID huh..im at carson in 3 BCT. i've got a black 8...you can see pics on cardomain...or videos on youtube( youtube.com/swedishmax ). there are a couple of other 8's here...the big problem here is the altitude...it seems to affect the renesis a bit more than other engines... the power loss is terrible. hope to see ya on the roads.
-Max

Brand new owner here. Just bought my 2006 (10k miles) Silver 8 last week. I love driving it so far. I am in the Denver area. Can anyone give me their 2 cents on where they like to take their 8's for service? Mine doesn't need anything yet, but I want to be prepared when I do. Thanks!

Im finally at Colorado Springs. Where are good places to hang out. Whats up with the Import scene here. I don 't see much. But some are cool. Let me know.

RX8club meet May 6th / www.milehighrotaryclub.com
 

Everyone, please sign up for www.MileHighRotaryClub.com and go to Events section to get details on the 2007 Annual Spring Rotary Meet!


Sign up now and spread the word!

most of us in the springs hang out at the shell gas station on the corner of acadamy and briargate or the sams club on south academy near fort carson. There are quite a few 8 around here but i havent had a chance to speak to many of them and the import scene is auctually pretty big. everyone mainly comes put to play on friday and saturday nights

I updated the list of Known RX-8's with your name. If you run into anyone else with an RX-8, send them to www.milehighrotaryclub.com and have them add their info!

How do youl like the car. I bought mine 3 years ago. maybe you've seen me around. I bought my car from gateway mazda but take it for service at mazda of lakewood. much better servic over there.

So far I absolutely love my car. I don't think I have seen you around. So you like the service center at Mazda of Lakewood? I bought mine from Centennial Leasing and Sales, and they don't do service so I need to know where to take mine.

^ Ya. It's a great car to drive. From my experience Lakewood had great servic until they got a new service manager. He's probably just learning how everything works around there though. It's still better service than out in aroura.

If you want, I'm going to Bandimere this wednesday, come on up. I"m trying to get other 8 owners form the colorado forums to go and run their cars. I never see any 8's up there.

I started a new thread about our next Rotary meet but heres the info....we will be meeting in the far North East corner lot of Colorado Mills Mall from 1 - 4pm. Then for those who want....we will be taking a cruise up to Hog Heaven BBQ in Conifer. Should be a fun time! Hope to see you all there!



Mike B

Yooo man...

I'm from College Station, TX. I moved to vail in november. But, my 8 is two toned silver/dark grey. And I am actually selling it :((( It makes me so sad, but I cannot afford the payment and am getting a Jeep so I can get around better during the winter. Hit me up when you're coming to Vail, we'll shred it up during the day and get crunk & drunk at night. I'll miss my 8 so much.... my favorite car I've owned definately. And a lady trapper ;)

Reminder...Rotary meet this Sunday! I know of a couple 8's coming but looking for more!

hey anybody here from junction im up here for buisness/work for a couple more days if anybody is from around here give me a call 1-505-947-1158 or mikemccln@hotmail.com

New RX-8 owner here. 2004 Titanium Gray 6spd Touring. I've had it about a month so far. I traded in a Mazda6i, so I've been in the Mazda family at least for a little bit. This is my first rotary, though. Hope y'all will also check out www.coloradomazdaclub.com too. Lots of Denver and Co Springs folks. We just started up.

How does everyones 8 handle in the mountains, like going up them? Im moving to colorado january of '09 and would like to know everyones opinion on the "climbing" part.

I took my 8 through Tahoe on the way to Reno and it was some what struggling to get up there but handled like a dream.

How is it at high altitude?

I haven't really had much of a prob in the mountains but i don't go up there much but when i do its a blast in the 8 :) in the snow I'm sure it wouldn't be fun lol
