Thanks a tonne for helping out today. The car is peachy. I feel better knowing the clutch bracket is welded too. Weather was pretty brutal on the way home.
Your 7 is completely awesome btw.

Dam I hate the cold.....

 

Yeah, I took some Toronto guys for a walk from Cobo to Lafayette Coney Island and it was freeeezing.

 

I'm in Dearborn Heights, just got my Rx8 a few weeks ago. Is anyone here close to me? Also, are there any RX8 meets planned when the weather starts to warm up?

 

Keep an eye on this thread, something will pop up, it's pretty quiet in the winter.
We are going to have a meet in feb in Windsor, if you don't mind coming over the border.
You should join up here also.

When the weather gets warmer there will be a nice cruise!

 

Im surprised you havent seen me driving my 8 around. Im on warren and telegraph

 

sterling heights in the house..

...lol

 

the real question is are there any women with 8's in the area...? just wondering

 

There used to be one here that was from Holland or Muskegon. I don't remember which. I don't remember any from SE MI.

 

the michigan rotary club is a great place to meet other people who love the rotary engine. They are planning a big club meet in the spring time. The date is tbd still. They also have other random gatherings or reasons to hang out. The rx8 club is great for being able to provide a larger amount of information on the rx8 specifically. Definitely join the michiganrotaryclub.com forum for local gatherings. We would love to meet you in person.

 

Moseph, I can't believe I haven't seen you around either. I did see a velocity red a few weeks ago though on ford road and I saw a gray one today. Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm excited to be a member of this community. I wouldn't mind going over to windsor either, I have family there. I will definitely be checking out the michigan rotary club. I can't wait until the weather warms up a bit so I can finally drive my car.

 

if you have a winter set of tires you could drive it now, be careful tho..the 8 is very light

 

light cars stop/turn better in the snow. if you drive like me your wheels spin on the highway at 9k, that is the downside to a light car.
I love driving my car in the winter.

 

It came with a set of michelin pilots from the previous owner. I think the pilots are "all season" tires. I've driven in the snow a couple of times, it was pretty stable as long as I was gentle on the gas. Moseph, do you drive it in the winter? If so, where do you go to get it washed?

 

There is a touch free car wash by my job in Plymouth. It's 6 bucks but well worth it. Can't wait for the summer, so we can ride out. Put some pics up of your 8

 

There's a machine car wash near Wendy's on plymouth in ann arbor. The touch screen was not working (probably due to cold weather) and they gave me a free $10 wash :p

 

Im thinking about driving up to a big *** parking lot tonight. turn off my traction control and have some fun..

 

+1

 

Rawrrrrrrr. I need to look for somewhere....

 

that is exactly what i did....

side note...watch out for fire hydrants and those cement pedestrian poles hidden under the snow... my friend learned the hard way..
