I like the idea for your seat's how much are those runnin for? As far as getting the k&n local, not too likely. I would just order from someone online, there are tons of vendors on this site, and many others that sell them. I remember looking for a local one but no one had it.
Tony-good to hear from you. I saw your 8 the other day too, and I was sad. If your want to you can come rev my 8 up.

You wanna see sad? you should see my car. Not only was i hit the other day but I just smacked the center wall on I-15, twice at 4am this morning...I knew i shouldnt have ventured into that **** when I looked out the window this morning. O well, when all is said and done I'm actually gonna come out a few dollars richer lol. But as for a meet? I probably have 2 weeks till Im good to go but we'll see.

Darius, I feel your pain. No 8 owner should have to go through that! I called-in sick today with the flu, so I missed the "fun" in the snow- thankfully.
Guys, this time of year, the twisty canyon roads are too wet and cold for giving it what-for, so we are probably limited to a straight-line run. I'm thinking Wendover, or maybe just out to Miller Motorsports Park for lunch and a look-around, then back to town. Once I get over this damn flu, anyway.
Whatdya think?

The canyons are the best runs for the 8, no doubt, but I'm running the Dunlops and they just won't grip if it's 45-degrees and/or wet. I'd be sliding all over the road if I went up there now, and I don't want to drift right over the edge of a 200-foot cliff! We'll just have to wait until winter is over up there. It will be worth the wait.

The RX-8 is a car with a soul, no doubt about it.
When I was car shopping last year, I test-drove many cars, some much faster than the 8. MUCH faster. None handled better, and in the end the 8 was fast enough for me. It can get me in trouble in a hurry just the way it is, lol.
None of those other cars put a smile on my face the way the 8 does. The only other car that gave me a similar feeling was my '80 RX-7- and the 8 does it better. I made the right choice.

Yea... My WRX is very quick but the handling of the 8 is the best.. Also the way the interrior just wraps you in a warm hug of sportyness is great... in the WRX i feel like im driving a ford escort when I sit down in it.

My wife and I are sick right now with this flu bug that's going around, but I took my 8 out to run a couple of errands (When both husband & wife are sick, guess who gets to go to the pharmacy?).
For the time I spent behind the wheel, I felt almost cured. There I was, weak, sick, feverish, yet I didn't want to get out of the car when I got home. No other car has ever done that for me, and I've driven some that cost 3 times as much.
I noticed a yellow 8 on 35th so. today, with temp. tags on it. Looked like a young driver in a used '04 (the only year they made yellow).
I know what you mean about the looks, Tony. Same thing with the Evo's I've driven. It's like someone dropped a turbo in a Pinto or other little grocery-getter, uninspired car. I just can't get excited over a car that has no visual appeal no matter how fast it goes or how big the exhaust. A fast turd is still a turd.
The RX-8 is a well-rounded package, and the rotary engine is icing on the cake.

spot on, spot on, Jethro.
I saw a black 8 on 215 on Friday he and I were heading east I got off at 20th and he kept going, and yesterday spotted a winning blue on Fort Union and Union Park. (1300 east& 7200 south) heading east on Fort Union, gave him the peace sign and lit up my tires.

hopefully it changes but good lord I need some sun.

Lol I've been usng "Darius" as a screename since I was like 10. My sister helped me pick it out cause it meant like powerful and strong or something like that. I probably slapped demon on the end because "Darius" was always taken and I thought DariusDemon sounded cool when I was 10 and now its my screename for everything and If I change it it'll be too confusing!
BTW I'm gonna call the repair shop and ask them to change a few things. I'm thinking I'm going to have them take all the emblems off. All of them, so it's just pure black. Also I'm going to ask them to put in some clear corners. Then later I'm thinking I'll smoke those, the tail lights, and head lights. What do you guys think?

Darius, if you get the clear corners you'll need to get yellow bulbs or LEDs. The stock bulbs are clear and you risk getting pulled-over with clear corners on clear bulbs.
I went with the cluster of 5 amber LEDs on a common base when I installed my clears. If you want I'll find the part number & supplier for you.
Smoked clears might actually look good on an all-black 8.
