right on fella's well I'll keep checkin' back to see if anyone else is coming, but I'm down with whatever. Where in the park should we meet?
|
I could probably make it on sunday for a little while, im in :)
|
Sweet the more the better! !! and we will just meet at the first parking lot and line up and get some pics!
|
Sorry guys I wont be able to make it. I would love to, but my 8 is not working...yet again. It runs fine for about 20 minutes, but once you come to a full stop and accelerate in first gear, it dies. Wont start again for 20-30 minutes of sitting. Back to the shop on monday.
BTW bose is the freaking coolest guy around. He helped me install my new high flow cat which was an incredible chore for such an easy task. The bolts were all fused on which made getting the old one off next to impossible. I owe you man. |
Not a problem bro. I'm down to help anyone when possible, especially with car stuff.
Cool on the meet my buddy wants to come in his wrx as well. |
Anyone is welcome!!! but it we plan on meeting at 2 then leaving around 3 so :)
|
Guys, I'll sure try and be at Sugarhouse Park at 2. I guess just look for the pack of Mazdas, eh? ;)
No guarantees. The wife and kid are pretty good at deciding what my time should be spent on. (grumble...) Remember that I-80 has that bridge-moving thing going-on that day, so it will be only one lane in each direction. I think I'll take a surface street if I can get away. My car needs a good wash & detail right now, but what the heck. Maybe I'll do it when I get back from the park. Mike, I'll bring your premix bottle if I come. |
cool sounds like a few more want to come. I may not be there til like 230-245, I spaced that it's my nephew's b-day so I will be coming from Herriman and may be a bit late, hope I don't miss the fun, hopefully see you there.
Sounds good Chuck, no worries if you can't. |
Anyone in or around the Layton area? Just picked picked up an '07 and looking for people to show me the ins and outs of the car.

I'm in West Valley, but I think there are a couple of guys in the Ogden area. We just had a little get-together in Salt Lake, at Sugarhouse Park today. You should drive down for the next one, hopefully in July. I have an '07 too, 5800 miles. Weekend car, garaged in winter. Sunlight Silver. I'm guessing yours is white? :) |
Good to see a few local rotary owners today, anyway!
Let's plan one for July, give everyone time to plan ahead. Darius, did you show-up after I had to take off? |
well
It was nice meeting a few of you even tho ya guys didnt go on the drive it was a very nice ride! and alot of fun maybe next time!!
|
Nice to meet some enthusiasts yesterday. I had too much going on yesterday to go on the drive although I really wanted too.
We should plan somthing for either the 24th of July or the weekend following, maybe a BBQ, followed by a drive up east canyon or somthing yeah? let me know, we should really get it organized so we can have a excellent meet. |
hmm
If we got more people from this group wanting to do something then i wouldnt have to mesh groups. . . . So maybe sometime!! :)
|
Let's keep the SLCRotary group in the loop. Nice people.
But those Chevy's and Fords and assorted rice... I dunno...lol |
sorry
Sorry about it .. .. I just figured it would be nice to meet new people and go for a drive. . . Guess I was wrong . . . But to tell you the truth Mazda is partly owned by ford haha so not quite sure why you rebel against them haha. . . BUT to each his own if you guys can get a turn out of 10 or more I Would be more than happy to devote my time and tag along but when there is only 3 . . . . not quite sure it would of been a great meet. . . . But there is my insight and hope we have future meets . . . With great rotary turn outs.
|
I'm just kidding, 04.
Ford owns the largest single percentage of Mazda stock, actually- they pull a lot of strings there. Last I read, it was about 33%. I also own a Ford as my DD. I'm an old rotary engine enthusiast from way back. My first was an '80 RX-7 that I bought brand-new in late '79. Loved that car! So I would prefer to meet with other rotary folks, but it's not a hard and fast rule. As long as the piston people don't start insulting us, no problem. The rotary women are better looking, though! :) |
haha
That is very true they are much better looking. . . haha we are all car enthusiests they know not to dis a rotary ive straightend that up haha!! Its all good if we got more rotarys to meet up then i would but no one really responded so i asked my main group to join. . . Rocky mountain ecotec is one of the main sponsored clubs from Rocky Mountain Raceway . . Hence why I joined haha
|
yeah, the car is pearl colored, makes for a pretty sight in the sun. I saw you guys had a meet not too long ago and after seeing the photos, I wish i had known about it sooner. I'll be looking forward to the next meet.
|
Bah! I totally spaced it! That sucks! Sorry guys. I coulda brought my S2K buddy too! at least for that one ;). Anyway sorry I'll be at the next one for sure and hopefully Roxas will be up and running again too.

pictures
Hey for those of you that wanna see the pics of the ride here they are
http://www.rockymountainecotec.net/i...hp?topic=838.0 |
sorry I didn't make it guys, I ended up getting a house and signing some papers :) Looks like I will be on 3600 south and 13th east from now on, yay!
|
Utah??? what is that noise??? The earth trembles??? You got that feeling again???? OH its just me...
Hay guys... About 2 weeks ago I was driving on my way home from a new job I just started and enjoying the feel of a Turbo in my wrx but feeling upset that when i look arround the cabin it feels like im driving a tercel, then I feel the earth shake and hear an oh so familiar rumble in the air and look up to see heading my way... MY OLD RX8... so I flip a BI**H and I follow the car and end up at some recycling center in Ogden. I got a chance to see my old baby.. I felt her up told her I missed her.. Spoke to the guy who owned her. It was very nice to see it again. Looked the same way as I left her.. a ton more rock chips on the aero flare kit but no dents etc. the Carbon Fiber hood could use some wax but it wasnt too bad. It was very nice to see my old car and to say HI. I was able to con my wife into letting me get another RX8, but I have to get rid of the WRX and I feel its not a bad traid off. I have been searching and planning how my new RX8 will be so maybe soon I can get a new RX8 im still looking to find one used so if you guys know anybody selling a used one (black) let me know. |
Good to hear from you, Big T!
That would be weird, seeing a beloved car that I had to sell. Hopefully you'll be back in an 8 soon! Expand your search, a lot of places will ship a car to you for a reasonable fee, or you could bring it home yourself. Good reason for a road trip! |
Yeah what's up T? You could try carmax and search nationally, I know they ship vehicles across the nation for a reasonable fee, maybe worth checking out. Other than that I will keep my eyes peeled.

Guys, I just found out that a guy I've known and worked with professionally for 20 years- he runs a thermoforming faciltiy, I run a pattern and mold shop for composites- is the dad of one of the main computer gurus at Cobb Tuning! No kidding!
Small world! |
That's cool, apparently Cobb just got a new tuner named John, and from the stuff I'm hearing it's a good thing for all.

hey

Probably was me. I've only seen one other white z4 around besides mine and there's not another silver coupe like that in utah from what ive seen and heard
|
How about this fan-fuggin-tastic weather we are getting.:) I know I'm bloody stoked. Getting some new wheels and tires either tommorrow :fingersx: or monday.
Anyone else getting any new goodies this summer? |
hmmm
You lucky guy! I was about to get new wheels but well guess what I got KEYED last night so now I have to spend all my money on a damn insurance deductable. . . THey got my whole hood and down both sides. . . I dont get peoples concept because I dont have any Enemys here :(
|
That is rancid, I think it's random, just people hating on what they can't have. Someone smeared cookie dough on my car, and no one know's where I live so, and I don't have any enemies either so I'm chaulking it up to jelousy.
I got to ride in a mx-5 drift car this weekend at GT Live, all I can say is holy shit. it should be a ride at a theme park, biggest rush of all time. |
1 Attachment(s)
I stole this off of the slc rotary forum, maybe instead of a meet on the 24th or somthing we should make it for one/both of these days. NOPI, carshow, drags, drift competition. July 18th and 19th, at RMR. Let make a huge showing.
|

I wish more stuff like this would come to Salt Lake. |
So is it like a whole car show or how does that work, can anyone enter?
I watched some of that last night, seriously. It was pretty good, there's an ally up in Oregon, you can pay to play with bikini clad bowlers pretty great. And btw, I got my new rims and tires on. Here's a link to my other thread, stop by leave your remarks or not, whatever. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/babys-got-some-new-shoes-149672/ |
no
Its a special entry :( My car is all phunked up so if mines not done by then we can always put yours in the place of mine :)
|
oh well right on. I guess we'll see what happens, yeah.

The girl in the red 8
Several times now, I've passed a nice-looking young girl with short, platinum hair in a red 8, going north on Redwood road. I'm going south at about 4:15 or 4:30, and she's going north and we pass on between the Flying J truck stop and Center Street in North Salt Lake.
Anybody? |
IT'S MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!:lol:
j/k, but seriously I see way more 8's on the streets nowadays and mostly youngin's driving them, why are they not on the damned forums! |
Eyelids?
Hey guys, in a few weeks I'll have some sets of the "angry guppy"-looking eyelids for sale. I'll only have a few sets and I don't want to have to mail them all over, so I'm not going to list them in the regular FS section. I'd rather that locals get them. They come unpainted and are attached with double-sided foam tape.
PM me if interested. |
Well well well, anyone up for small meet this weekend? NOPI is holding their car show, drag, drift event this weekend at RMR. So that could be an option.
But let's talk about the meet next weekend, is anyone still down. what should we do. I'm thinking either the 26th or 27th, we could have a BBQ, or grab a bite, but most importantly somewhere we can park, take pics, show off under the hood, all that fun shit. So let's get some real numbers of who can show up and what you want to do. |
I'm pouring my new concrete patio on Friday, and working on the basement pretty much all weekend. I think we're going to see Hellboy 2 on Saturday night.
I probably can't make a cruise this weekend. :eyetwitch |
You had me at BBQ
|
I wont be able to meet this weekend, my 8 is in the shop because I have some grinding at high rpm's shifting into 2,3, and 4 :(
|
Well I cant do it this weekend either but I thought we were talking about next weekend
|
I'm gauging to see if anyone wanted to do somthing this weekend, NEXT weekend I want to do the BBQ or somthing but we need more than 3 people to show.
