tuesday sounds good to me! and I love the brisket there! ALSO! there are always a lot of good spots in the back of that lot-EVEN when they are busy

RXhusker

I think Tues. works for me -- will verify my schedule at the office tomorrow. Any place is fine with me -- I have gotten addicted to a little Indian place in Miracle Hills (next to the mongolian barbque place) called The Taj (I think) -- awesome food and cheap

I have been trying to track down a MS flywheel but they are on national back order

RXhusker

I'm clear for lunch tomorrow -- just let me know where and when -- McKenna's is great with me.

Kain

anytime 4 me and I like Thai quite a bit= so either is fine with me

Kain

hey rxhusker= what about the sr motorsports one>? also- I called woodhouse to make an appointment to get all these things fixed on my 8 and they said there is no such thing as l or m flash??????????

mooneycj

Sorry, Tuesday doesn't work for me (my golf day).

I prefer to keep the drivetrain warranty (use MazdaSpeed fly). You talked to the wrong person at Woodhouse apparently.

Kain

yeah I asked the guy why there is hundred's of posts about it on this fourm- he said I should recheck my sources! maybe I should just go to olsen then for now on?

RXhusker

If you want to stick with Woodhouse --- I would suggest calling and talking with the Mazda Service Manager and explaining how disappointed you are that his service writer isn't even aware of a Mazda mandated ECU flash and that he was unprofessional enough to suggest that you didn't know what you were talking about. I would then ask him what he is going to do to keep you from changing your service account to Olsen.

Kain

the ONLY reason I somewhat prefer woodhouse is it is not PACKED everytime I go there. and that is all- I am going to call tomorrow and ask for the manager- otherwise I think my decision is already made and I will be calling angie tomorrow- olsen is just not on my way to anywhere!

RXhusker

I'm not sure if this is good or bad? Do you want to go to the doctor whose schedule is always open -- or to the one with a long waiting list that you can only get into with a referral? I don't know much about Woodhouse's Mazda dealership -- the way they run the Ford dealership would make me think that their volume would be tremendous -- I had a car from them previously and always had to schedule service way out -- not sure why their Mazda service is so slow?

Kain

I just heard on the news that the woodhouse in blair has 70% of their vehicles majorly damaged! and they have a LOT out there! I will try calling jaime tomorrow- if not on to olsen! so are we on for tomorrow or is there another day this week we can accomodate cjmooney>?

mooneycj

I'll sit this one out unless you want to do lunch at 11:00 (I golf at 12:15). If it rains tomorrow, I'll join you guys.

RXhusker

Looks like its supposed to rain around Noon tomorrow -- maybe we will see you at McKeena's after all -- you know its going to rain -- we have an RX-8 meeting planned.

Kain

it looks like you were up pretty late rxhusker anyhow- my sitter is sick again today my wife said she could come and watch the girls for awhile this morning till she has court at 1 so 11 at McKenna's would work excellent for me! can we confirm this time and location>?

Kain

oh! & we are talking the McKenna's @ 74th an pacific right>?

RXhusker

That works for me 11 @ McKenna's 74th & Dodge

Kain

it is always fun! and the BBQ was pretty good as well! I loved seeing the mazdaspeed in person I love the front! we need to figure out a day each month we can all meet

Hello all. Another Omaha native signing in. this is my first post, but have been following the line for awhile. finally got my 8 after a year of dreaming, sunlight silver with grand touring. LOVE this car!!!! worth every second of anticipation.
reading the posts, I feel Im coming in late but wouldnt mind meeting other 8 enthusiasts.

Kain

welcome!!!!! please come to the next meeting!

blizz81

See more and more 8s on the streets every day, it seems. These people need to fire up their browsers and come on the board

I've been peeking at the thread to check for meetings (love Husker's track pic) to find one that I can make, unsuccessfully so far. Still looking for that golf outing :D

Getting closer to selling the maxima, and as it seems, going for the 3 as planned. It's real tough to find one to my liking right now though - Woodhouse has one that's exactly what I'm looking for, but with navigation. They really lowballed the maxima for a trade....but if one of the two lookers I have on the line bites, or if I bite and compromise on my price a bit, I could go after that 3 on the lot next week. Otherwise it seems ordering entails a good wait for what I'd want, and getting a new car once summer is wrapping up or over is no fun. We'll see.

Jeff - I wanted to ask you if you could hook up the contact information for the guys that did your clear 3M kit again. I'd like to talk to them and see what they could do for a 3, perhaps even including lower door panels since people have been losing paint there even. Might be tough springing for the navi when I keep in mind at least $500 off the bat for such a kit. How's your kit holding up btw? Any complaints?

I'll be keeping an eye out for future meets....maybe I'll have a new mazda to show off by then...won't be as sexy as the 8s in company, but....

RXFORFUN

A bit quiet lately around here. Would like to do a meet-n-greet but will be out of town end of this week and first of next. Just to get the ball rolling how about next wed or thur (6-16 or 6-17), maybe grab some lunch and talk? Curious (and interested) about the club!

Blizz -- I love the new 3 -- looks great!

I can hook you up on the clearbra -- should be less than $500. Mine is holding up great -- MooneyCJ also had his done at the same place. IMO the Navi is a waste of cash -- I assume you can read a map being a new college grad right

I think I am open next week for a lunch meet -- I can debrief you guys on the Rocky Mountain RX-8 Club meet -- it was a blast -- I think we should petition to join the Mountain Forum and leave the MW Forum -- much more fun drives out that way and Colorado is much closer than our MW brothers in OH, KY, etc. -- since when are those Midwestern states anyway

Kain

and people drive in colorado NICE and CRAZY! my kinda place next week sounds great to me!!!
