Ouch! Ever notice the scar by my left eye? 2 iron on the backswing courtesy of my brother.


I'll take a couple pair of panties and a cut of the 'medication' you've been taking. Preferably new on the panties :D

I'll try to keep July 8th open.

RXFORFUN

What in the wide wide world of sports got you guys working on RX8 panties. (I like the modeling idea part though, and who wanted to go to Hooters. connection mayhaps)

Hooters or Mckenna's either is good by me on the 8th, good food either way.

Worst gash I ever saw (on a human anyway) was from a 3 wood verses head. Hope all is well RxHusker!!!!!

I'm printing this out for my concerned mother that wishes I would just focus on golf instead of taking up hockey as well for reasons of safety.

*sighs*, gotta love workin late on Friday evenings!

RXhusker

Hooter's it is -- I assume the one on 120th & Center -- Is there another one? Believe or not I have never been to a Hooters before -- though I have threatened my wife with getting her a tee shirt and shorts :D

I had a really deep gash right on my cheek bone -- 5 stitches -- it was the wait in the emergency room that was the killer. My son was more upset than I was at the thought of hurting his dad -- lots of blood -- it was a mess.

RXhusker

I am at 9,000 miles right now.

I think the post is a bunch of B/S. Nobody has demonstrated that the ECU makes any changes at magical mileage markers (like 5k or 10k). The FD's had some sort of mileage trigger in the ECU at like 5k (I think -- I'm certainly not an expert on this). Rotaries have always been known to break-in well and gain strength as they aged -- but to say that at 10k something magic will happen and improve mpg or hp is absurd IMHO. My mileage has gotten better -- not sure if break-in or my other mods.

I also think the Renesis will prove to be a strong engine for boost applications -- it's just that Mazda protected the ECU so much that nobody is having much luck "cracking the code". I read that Racing Beat invested a couple hundred thousand on equipment to crack the ECU coding and so far has nothing.

RXFORFUN

I need to double check sources, but I am pretty darn sure at one point I read something where even Mazda admitted that there was a point like 10k, where the ECU would change over its programing. What changes or increases I do not recall, but just reading the post triggered a memory about this very topic and a discussion with a friend.

I am clear for the 8th, Hooters sounds great. I have not had their wings in a while.:D

RxHusker hows the battle wound?

Kain

I pry won't hit ten for a long time we can always keep our fingers crossed though! hooter's it is!!!!! I will bring a pair of beta (test) panties!!!!

Kain

I was on omaharx7.com last night just browsing real quick. anyhow I saw there is some car show at 84th and center tonight (june 30, wed) and the one guy said he is bringing his fd- was thinking of going- rxhusker should pimp his ride!!!!!! would be cool to go- I had plans but am trying everything I can to get down there!!!!

RXhusker

Any idea what car show they are talking about? Time?

Kain

I am not sure what time- my work blocks that site for some crazy crazy reason! but I will go to maybe meet some of the rx-7 guys- cause a few of us used to be them

RXhusker

Wonder if it's kid friendly -- my wife is doing something tonight -- so it is my two boys and I -- guess it wouldn't hurt to at least do a drive by.

RXhusker

The car meet was fun. No other rotarys were there however. My 8 got rock star treatment :D There were a few 350Z's and S2000's -- mostly Vettes and muscle cars. Wish I knew how they advertised these events so we could know in advance -- it would be awesome to show up with a contingent of 8's.

Kain

when were you there>? I did not see you! I got there about 7:30 ish and there was a fd there next to the red viper. My neighbor had some of the muscle cars there and he said it pretty much goes on every wednesday- and most people get their cars there right after work. I saw a couple z's as well-both were pretty much stock. did you see the lotus esprit>? or the studebaker avanti>? OH and there was a 1st gen yellow 7 there but it no longer contained it's rotary and one more thing- in the parking lot of the theatre there was a PAIR of bright orange volkswagon corrados that were all decked out- I thought they were cool! maybe next week sans rain we can make a big group appearance>?- or wait till the next week as we would have had our hooters meeting by then-

RXhusker

They meet every week on Wed. night?

I was there at around 8:30 -- I saw the Viper leaving as I was pulling in -- didn't see you or any FD's. I did see the Lotus Esprit -- almost mistook it for a Ferrari until I got a better look at it. I didn't drive through the parking lot at the movie theater.

Kain

was it a black wrx and was the man maybe hispanic looking>? cause a car fitting that description tried to race me on center yesterday during lunch even though there was multitudes of traffic! his car did sound QUITE mean! yeah we should plan on two weeks so at the meeting we can try and talk more "members" into going

blizz81

*sighs*...while you guys were out looking at cars, there I was, sitting in traffic school. Get to go back tonight from 6-10 - that'll make it a total 24 hours worth of traffic school over the past 6 years. I can't believe some of the questions these people ask...

I might have to check it out one of these wednesdays if I'm not down at the ice rink... Let me know if you guys are ever planning to go as a group.

RXhusker

Blizz -- you better buy a radar detector

On the way to the car meet last night there was radar set-up all down Center Street just waiting for people wanting to show off their cars. Glad I hardwired my V-1 so its always on now.

blizz81

I think I'd still have the same chance of screwing myself I don't speed a whole lot anymore...generally no more than 10 over during the daytime/good driving conditions and no more than 5 over at night.

Of course I say this after last year, blowing by a bike cop doing laser at about 95 in a 35 in the maxima on a sunny sunday afternoon. The one time I let another driver tick me off and really get on it....luckily he decided not to come get me

Kain

I know this really good racetrack here in omaha! It is between my house and work! every monday through friday

RXhusker

I speed very frequently and have only gotten two tickets in my life -- one in college (85 in a 55 on I80 back in 1987) and one 10 years ago in Iowa (65 in a 55 -- real ahole cop on that one). My point is -- the V1 is worth it's weight in gold -- that and I am VERY observant most of the time.

Sputnik

You are very unlikely to find a VG-2 or other radar detector detector in a state where radar detectors are legal. That's a bit of money for extra equipment and maintenance for a device that doesn't help enforce the laws in that area.

Meanwhile, please refrain from posting street racing stories on here. Thanks.

We would love to have you guys. :D

Kain

ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! hskr8 got in trouble! oh well what can you do- tell us the rest of your stories at hooters! I almost got a yellow 8- my wife would not let me (cause she doesn't wear the pants in the family- BUT it's what is IN those pants that she wears) due to tickets and I am sure I would have had like a good 5 or 6 the last year if I was in that yellow- HOWEVER! I think Omaha is one of the most pro-speeding towns I have ever lived in!!!!! the extreme lack of police generates a "we have way more important things to worry about" type of response unless you are weaving in and out of traffic. just my 2 cents but man-you ever drive down there in Lincoln????? they pull you over for going 2 over the limit! (and the lincoln cops will always oblige you with a complimentary strip search!

Kain

we'll just trailer them up there and charter a bus and drink that "flatland drive from hell" away!!!

In fact, we've already created an Nebraska forum on our website (http://RockyMountainRX8.com) and it wouldn't take much to add Iowa, etc forums too.

Membership in the club is $20 a year and, as RXHusker can tell ya, we're pretty well organized. You guys would make up a regional area of the club, so you could run your own events or join us for the main ones, or both. And we're developing some buying power and influence with the RX-8 tuners and vendors... check out our raffle prize list for proof of this. :D
