hey crucesrx8,
I see about 2 or 3 RX8s a day here in Cruces, but you're the first person from Cruces I've actually seen on here!

I'm still here, but I don't check in very often, and I still keep an eye out for 8's around town. It seems of late I am seeing lots more then I ever did when I had mine. I do miss the 8...

Miss seeing you around here as well Kewl!!
Yeah I am still around. It has just been so quite in here of late that I would hate to be posting to myself. The worst thing would be is if I started to reply to myself.

I didn't see any posts on the AutoX last summer...do they still hold them?
stinger, how has that new engine been behaving? I see for the 09's they have made numerous changes to the engine...it would interesting to know more about what these changes were done to correct/improve.
remember, sometimes your own replies are the best ones...
....good to hear from you, hope all is going well.

The church AutoX still happened last year, just moved to a different church. I only made it a few times and was always the only 8. Guess that is my fault for not posting it. Anyway...GO NM RX8!

Hi All,
I'm still around check into the forum once a month or so. I sold all my toys and just in a boring ford Focus, must say I love my 38+ mpg and sync software... will look for a new toy next year or so once this economy figures out what its going to do. I still have some RX-8 parts for dirt cheap. Posted them in craigs and in prior treads. I do miss the old days of the car crew...
Alison and I are getting married next year. So I thank my RX-8 for getting to meet a wonderful lady. ha-ha.. who would a thought a car could actually do that.

New Tires
Any recommendations on where is the best value in ABQ for tires for my 8? I'll also check the Tire Rack just for comparison. Thanks for any assistance.

I got my Pirelli P-Zero Nero's at Discount Tire. They weren't the cheapest tires, nor was Discount Tire likely the cheapest price in town, but I felt they were the best value...free repairs/rotations and there are lots of stores around, here and the country, so getting service was/is easier then many places.

Just set up a tire package on Discount Tires website and when you call they should be able to beat it by a 100.00 by phone.
Happy tire hunting.

I agree with NMOcho...go with the 245, the ride is better all around and they look better on the car. I also agree with Discount Tire...although Costco and Sams are good too, I've gotten tires there for the truck, I found there are more Discount Tires around then either Costco or Sams however.

Hey 8 OWNERs I still have those sweet NEW racing rotors for a steal 175.00 dollars.... any takers...??? Just call around and try to find even stock rotors for your car. I'm lazy and really don't feel like shipping them out of state. But it may come to that after a year of trying to sell these damn things. LOL Justin...

Just wanted to check in and say hello. Picked up my red '04 about a month ago and loving it. Any advice for an RX-8 n00b in 'Burque? Btw, noticed Rotary Rx is no longer around, any alternatives? University Mazda was ok, but I'm not completely sold on them quite yet.

If you need a nice set of Slotted/Drilled rotors I'm selling new ones for a steal at 175.00. Stinger hasn't taken them yet. LOL so still there for the taking. The are easy to install, just be sure to put new brake pads on them.

Sorry to hear about Rotary RX, but Justin has the right idea, get on the rx7 forums. It is rather sad that most of those on the forum here are former 8 owners.
Justin maybe you should keep those 8 parts, you might find a good deal on another 8 and can use them yourself...just joking. I still have my excess 8 parts...and maintenance manuals...y5ou just never know...
Trick...good luck with your 8...if all else fails with questions check in here and Justin or I will try to help.

royce, congratulations on the 8...you will find it is a remarkable vehicle. There are some really nice roads for driving the 8, but be careful...they tend to patrol some of the best roads
Good luck hooking up with other 8 owners...there are lots around, but not many on the forum. Sadly since several of us who started the forums have now lost, or sold our 8s. If you can stand the tire wear consider attending a track day at the sandia raceway...find an instructor first who will spend time with you at the track. You will really enjoy a day on the track.
