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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

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!

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
