If/when I ever start to seriously mod this motor (post-warranty), I think it will be wise to have 2 engines. Be working on one while running the other, so you're never down more than a week or so when you blow one up.

JT about those eyelids I'll just wait until you have yours done, my paint guy is extremely busy so I'll just wait until your's are done as well.
I wish I could go to sevenstock this year but there is no way in hell I can get the time off, unless business goes down the ******* and I have no more work, but I don't think that will happen, doing so much record breaking right now we probably won't even slow down during the winter. too much work.

Hey, I saw a silver one parked down from Broadway Centre Theater today. Was it any of you guys?
Sorry to hear it Bose, I need a roadie. That's good though that business is booming especially with our economy so bad right??

Hey everybody, I see that a new Utah thread is opened, the old one got deleted, and I have no idea why. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've got a '04 VR sport/appearance package. I've had it for about 2 years. Before that, I owned a Titanium Gray (AT) that my wife and I bought brand new in 04. After I found the 6-speed VR for sale, we had 2 RX-8s for about 6 months until the lease was up and my wife wanted a CX-7 (more practical, or something )
Here they are:
Both have had engine replacements, and the gray one was in the shop 4 times from various accidents.
I'm getting the red one back from the shop today -- a girl in my parking lot at work forgot the parking brake and her car rolled into mine. Sad thing was that I'd parked away from other cars to avoid door dings!
I'm usually down in Utah county though I am often in south salt lake as well. Hope to see some of you guys around.

Welcome back, Nick!
The Utah sticky is still there, but it does look like some other Mountain threads have disappeared in the last day or two. Only admins, mods, and the thread starter can delete entire threads, AFAIK...
I've got an '07 Sunlight Silver, bought BN in March of '07, currently with 6,400 miles on it. It's just a weekend car, I don't commute in it or drive it in winter.
My wife's Subaru will be paid-off this winter and she's thinking about either an 8 of her own, or more likely, a Miata. We only have one kid and she's nearly all grown-up, so no mini-vans for us.

In and Out of the shop
Hey guys, just got my car back from the dealer I had some grinding going into 2nd 3rd and 4th so they replaced my syncros under my extended warrenty and I paid to have them replace the rest of them while they had the tranny apart. funny thing happened though, while they were doing this somone broke into the shop (at the dealership) and took a couple catalitic converters (one of them being mine ) so they replaced it free of charge . So if any of you are having problems with a part just take it to the dealer and have somone steal it while its in the shop ha ha ha.. Really though, I have heard that cats are becoming quite the high comodity and people are stealing them while you go into the grocery store anybody else hear about this?

I would be but I only have stock system so I'd just get laughed out of the place. I don't really listen to music in my car usually get listen to the car talk. I'll probably check it out though.
I have heard of CATS being stolen recently, it's because they are made of two high priced materials. Platinum and Rhodium don't know how much they are worth can't find the figures and don't feel like looking it up. At least they were honest and didn't say it was plugged and it needs to be replaced so they could charge you for it and get money from the insurance co. too.

Catalytic converters have been stolen from trucks twice here at work, from the employee parking lot in broad daylight.
An RX-8 wouldn't be a thief's first choice due to very little ground clearance. They prefer SUV's and pickups because they can get under them without having to lift them first. But if it's in a shop, they've got all the tools they need right there. I suspect it was an inside job.
Just today a co-worker told me that his gas tank was disconnected and drained, right in his driveway.
I'm going to get one of those infra-red driveway alarms. I park my old Explorer in the driveway. Our Subaru and my 8 stay in the garage at night.
