Jethro Tull 10-12-2007 04:39 PM

^^I went to OWATC in '05, got my Solidworks certificate there (3-D computer design), but I haven't been up there since. Nice little technical school.

Is that the one you're talking about, the one in North Ogden, across the street from the post office?

I just got my 8 this year, in March. Never saw any on campus for the year I attended there.

Rx8-4-LiFe 10-12-2007 04:56 PM

There is One at the old BDOs thats were the Plumbing classes are. cuase i go there. its a Off campus school

DariusDemon 10-12-2007 07:02 PM

sweet, looks like we'll have a decent crowd. See ya'll tomorrow!

Jethro Tull 10-12-2007 10:24 PM

I washed, waxed, and detailed the outside of the car this afternoon. I'm going to vacuum and spiff-up the interior tomorrow morning.

So, yes, it's definitely going to rain on Saturday, but dammit, I'll be there anyway.

I just put in the Mazda all-weather floor mats so my timing is perfect if it rains.

I'll bring a camera so we can get some photos to put up here.

Looks like it's going to be more than just you and me this time, eh, Darius?

WreakLoosE 10-13-2007 08:32 AM

Ok guys Im new to the area, whats the best way to get there from the 80E at about 5600 W.

DariusDemon 10-13-2007 10:12 AM

haha yeah, hopefully! And wreakloose 80e and 5600w doesn't exist bud! you mean like 80s and 5600w? Either way from 5600w you're gonna want to head west until you run into I-215. Hop on that and head south thhheeeeen... get off on the 35th south exit, go east about a block to Decker Lake Drive, turn north at the light and just go a couple of blocks to the arena. It will be on the west side of the street, you can't miss it. It's where the local hockey team plays it's home games

(Special thanks to Jethro for the second half of my post)

bose 10-13-2007 10:28 AM

E Center Meet-n-Greet
 
Well, we finally pulled it off. It was great to see DariusDemon again, as well as meeting bose and WreakLoosE for the first time.

Here's a photo of the lineup in the E Center parking lot. Left to right is bose, Jethro Tull, WreakLoosE, and DariusDemon.

I got to see WL's carbon-fiber hood close-up, man that thing is unreal with all those louvres!

Rx8-4-Life, sorry to hear about your problems. While we were there a rice drifter came over to tell us bout his club, he suggested Les Schwab for inexpensive tires since he burns through a lot of them doing his thing. Hope to see you next time. We are trying to plan a drive with maybe lunch at the halfway point.

Let's do it again soon guys. And next time all you other northern Utah folks be there, too!

Jethro Tull 10-13-2007 08:53 PM

Bose, have your girlfriend send out those emails with everyone's contact info. She put it all in her cell phone.

Or, you guys can all PM me through this Website with your email address and phone #. I have some nice shots of everyone's cars and will send them to you as soon as I have your email.

If someone else wants the shots, even if you didn't make it today (Rx8-4-LiFe and anybody else), PM me with your email and I'll send them to you, too.

WreakLoosE 10-13-2007 11:17 PM

Hay guys it was fun getting a chance to meet some UT 8 owners. Great picture looks good... I now got a new dest top picture..lol. We got to get out very soon to go driving some Canyons... That would be some fun there... RX84Life Sorry to hear of your problems..> i hope you get everything fixed soon so you can hit the canyons with us... oh yea... buy Toyos BTW...Proxes T1r..;P

Jethro Tull 10-13-2007 11:58 PM

Canyons already have snow near the top, but if we get several days of sun in a row then the pavement should be dry at least.

My wife was suggesting a run to Wendover. We could go out, have dinner, gamble a bit, see a show, and either stay overnight at a casino or come on back.

And I just got word from ToothFairy that she's getting the white 8 in Provo, will be up next weekend to pick it up and drive it back to Cal.

Rx8-4-LiFe 10-14-2007 01:20 AM

MILITARYMAN, did you do a compression check yet? It could be plugs, could be wires. How many miles on your car? Might be time for new plug wires. You may have a bad seal as well. Might need the computer reflashed.

I live really close to you. PM your address and I might be able to come over and check it out on the weekend.

(-White Ninja-) 10-17-2007 11:12 PM

hey anyone..
Body Kits.
Can you buy them to the color of your car.
or do you have to paint them?

Jethro Tull 10-17-2007 11:20 PM

^^No idea. I like my car stock (exept for those clear corners, LOL!).

Try searching the Exterior Appearance forum. I'm sure you'll find the answer to that question.

Choose wisely. Some of those kits are butt-ugly.

(-White Ninja-) 10-17-2007 11:24 PM

Yeah True... Some look Gay lol but.. Cant you lower the 8's without buying new springs and stuff

Jethro Tull 10-17-2007 11:28 PM

There are a couple ways to lower the eight, some are cheaper than others, depending on just what you're after, but you'll have to do the homework. Search a bit, I was just reading about this the other day.

But be careful. I've bottomed-out stock, if you lower the 8 in Utah you'll be scraping bottom A LOT. Might need a bigass skidplate.

(-White Ninja-) 10-17-2007 11:30 PM

Oh yeah.. haha I scrap even with not lowering it haha

WreakLoosE 10-18-2007 05:05 PM

If you purchase a body kit you must have it painted. The only way normaly you can buy a body kit painted is if its the Mazda Speed Kit... (Maybe)

WreakLoosE 10-18-2007 05:06 PM

Oh yea... BTW im by Ogden (Roy) so if you guys wanna do a little meet arround here that would be nice..

(-White Ninja-) 10-18-2007 05:53 PM

yeah I will do Anything around here to lol i get it fixed tommorrw lol yay!

Jethro Tull 10-19-2007 09:13 PM

Tooth Fairy is back on the road!
 
I just spoke with Tooth Fairy and she's back on the road. Picked up her new RX-8 today and is staying the night in SLC, driving back to SoCal in the morning. She bought the one I checked-out for her in Provo a couple of weeks ago.

Also tonight I saw a black RX-8 (filthy- dude wash your car!), appeared to be stock all the way, turning into the Reams on 4700 So. & 2700 W. Young guy driving it. Anybody??

ToothFairy 10-20-2007 01:07 AM

Hey Utans! I'm in your beautiful little state as I type! On the way from SLC airport to Provo, driving on the 15 south bound I saw a white RX8 with a car bra on the front of it (you were going north bound). Then I saw a black 8 driving by Legacy Mazda (maybe was being test driven). Few 8's on the Legacy lot. Then we saw a gray 8 near our hotel in SLC. Will post a pic of this car soon. :)
