Seems like we want to stick with a regional theme combined with a rotary - non-RX-8 specific theme with "Club" on the end.

For Example:

Midwest
Plains
Nebraska/Iowa
Mid-America
Heartland
Husker
Midlands
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rotary
RX
Rotors
Wankel
++++++++++++++++++++++++

We could skip our IA brothers and just be the Husker RX Club.

Rotary Power Midwest
Heartland RX
RX Power

I am used to paying people to do all this ad agency work -- too much right brain effort for me :D

I am leaving for 10 days in Scottsdale :D I'll check in occasionally and see what you guys come up with.


EDIT: Good thinking Hskr8 -- we must have been thinking typing at the same time.

Kain

I like it!- besides, it will keep the haykeye and cyclone fans away

soon as we hear the chimes I can start aon a few logo mockups!!! cool cool!!! we could even get polak to maybe get us some decals (unless anybody ahs some local vinyl hookups??)

RXhusker

Husker RX Club sounds good to me.

I knew if I told you I was leaving for 10 days this would get done!

Now we just need a banner for Memorial Stadium this Fall.

Kain

HUSKER RX CLUB!!! I have indeed started some mockups and congrats on the banner comment- firt time I laughed outloud today

Kain

yes I am stoked incognito is moving to center- supposedly that is his natural position- interesting they are handling his assault charges internally though- pry send him to another anger management course but amos as wide receiver?? he did make some nice interceptions last year huh, oh and ross is still one but horne moved to three- all very interesting!!!

Got my recalls done yesterday and the "L" flash done. I think it does run more smoothly now - esp at the top end -- Borla seems to pop a little less. The only thing they didn't due was the TSB on the hot cupholder/center console. Wasn't a big problem for me last summer but thought I would get it done anyway -- part will be in when I get back. 8's made after Sept. automatically have the heat shield in place -- if you have an earlier VIN you should request it -- I had to take the TSB info off this forum to the dealer -- they couldn't find it in Mazda's offical info.

We will have fun in AZ -- have a house down there on a golf course -- so can just relax. Taking the kids to NHL, NBA, Arena Football, and MLB Spring Training games. Also going to go to Vivid Racing and visit with Huff and see his car. Try to get a few rounds of golf in and ride the Harley we have down there.

Husker Rx Club works for me. I also like the idea of some "track time" down at the new track near Plattsmouth - have always wanted to do that. I have a buddy that races motorcycles down there, sounds like he has a lot of fun. Do you suppose there is any chance at getting some driving instruction along with the track time?

I remember christian peter had to have a coach go home with him EVERY night to keep him in check! and yeah I heard horne was moved back last year for the (Randy) moss factor- only he is not a moss if you know what I mean! so sounds like the same thing- mooneycj- I think we should definitely try to get some lessons packaged with some kind of club deal/arrangement

Here is the info on the cupholder:

FRONT CUP HOLDER / CENTER CONSOLE BECOMES HOT
Applicable Models
Model Starting S/N Ending S/N
2004 RX8 00000000 40113124

Some customers may complain of the front cupholder area of the center console becoming hot after extended driving, causing cold drinks to warm. Due to the heat from the exhaust system (catalyst), the center console (cup holder area) becomes hot. This is due to insufficient insulation between the floor panel N cup holder. A insulation pad is available to reduce the heat transfer to the center console. 1. Remove the upper panel, hole cover (cigar lighter) and storage box from the vehicle. (See WSM 9-17-8) 2. Remove the six screws from the upper panel and remove the rear console. (See WSM 9-17-8,9) 3. Attach the heat insulater pad to the bottom of the front cup holder in the rear console removed at the above step #2. NOTE: Be sure to attach the heat insulator pad so that the bottom of the cup holder is wrapped. 4. Re-install the parts reverse order of removal. Parts information: F151-55-161 Heat insulator pad

Who wants to contact the Mid-Am Motorplex and inquire about car club activities and costs? I have heard the Porsche club "owns" the place -- time for a new Sheriff in town!

RXhusker

The detail shop I have you guys info on has been doing a lot of the World of Wheels cars. If you see a PT Cruiser tricked out with the American Flag and eagles -- he almost took out my 8 blasting out of the garage when I was coming back from lunch today

Hskr8 -- congrats on being a senior "member"

Kain

where is world of wheels and how much is it? I was to go to the cabin this weekend but it is looking like rain and we might as well be stuck in our house with the girls- an outing would be welcome at least it isn't the monte carlo club that owns the place (mid-america)

Kain

well the texas bikini team pry never have any problems finding sponsors well that all looks pretty crazy- I wouldn't mind seeing suki's car for some reason- 13 is quite a bit though.......now I just have to convince my wife the texas speedo team is there- and then when we get there I will have to act surprised and say I thought it was the speedo team but evidently it is the bikini team!

Kain

I think if it does end up being rainy all weekend I will end up going just to get out of the house

Kain

they are called the scarletts! one of the fringe benefits of going to the games but yeah I will- will pry know tomorrow night so will post pertaining to that tomorrow night after my girls go to sleep

Kain

Used to rarely post- only read I like that idea!- when can we have try-outs???

Kain

YOU ARE A GENIUS! A TRUE GENIUS!!! my friend! hey have you ever checked out the veilside body kits?? I really like their new one and it is quite affordable.........

Kain

I like it stock as well- but also blown out- as that is why I did the same- figured screw OEM and wait for some other stuff to come out. I am married- but I like women whether I know them or not- but I can't ask them out either way but yeah- I like import tuner mag cause not only for the cars- but the girls next to the cars are great- anyway, just type in veilside in google- you'll find it quick- I like the kit with the flower graphics on it- not the flowers but the kit-(their new one)

I just set up a 3M Scotchgard install next week with Visual Perfection. I talked to Mark on the phone, he was great. Will probably have him install the front and rear rotary accents as well (are on order). Thanks for the tip, Rx8Husker! Will let you know how it turns out.

mooneycj

Kain

that is the one- with the huge flair out in the front! did you check the prices?? yeah I like this car- almost as much as I liked my 3rd-gen 7! but this one I can live with better- I think if you stiffen it up it will be as able as the seven-especially with the zoomers piggy-back! Well good luck with the floor- I hate when your car is at the dealer- so are you getting it reflashed then??

mooneycj

Good to know of a shop that does that 3M protection... hope it wasn't that expensive


I didn't ask. The brochure lists $250 for most vehicles. I'm sure the RX8 will be more.

mooneycj

RXhusker

I think that is less than 1 MU

Mark will treat you right. Saw a Porsche they ClearBra'd last week -- looked very nice. His installer has a lot of experience. I will let him get some RX-8 experience on yours before he tackles my MS front bumper!

I think he said $395 for the whole package (front, mirrors, door handles, etc.) -- this was the same as I was quoted last fall at the local Xpel dealer. Just front bumper and lower part of hood is probably the $250.

Yeah in our house we had some laminate flooring in the kitchen, the rest of the house is original oak- anyhow we had a dishwasher break and leak all over while we were at work anyhow we replaced it ourselves with some more laminate as we were still undecided about what we wanted to do with the kitchen- anyway, it is NOT easy and I hate the final outcome (in contrast to the rest of the real wood) - so we are planning on laying some nice tile this spring
