Wish I could have made it earlier... When is the next little MN meet? I have a couple Ideas...there is a coffee shop in Lilydale that hosts a car show every once in a while, i'll talk to the owner and see what's up. What Cities do you all live in... I'll start with my town of residence, Eagan. (maybe I can centralize a location or something) As some of you know I am in Minnetonka. I know that everyone is everywhere. I agree there needs to be more of a organization of these things. Specific day and time. At least once a month or even a few days, I don't mind Fuddrucker's :yumyum: I always have Sundays after 5:30pm Available. Saturdays, I need 3 weeks notice, but usually off work by 4:30. We've met at the MoA parking lot once, across IKEA. There are a few parks out there, with large parking lots! |
MadeULock, you took good photo! Thanks for the electric tape! It was nice getting to meet everyone yesterday.

hey guys anyone have a caliper piston tool i can borrow? I am doing my rear pads so yea i need one thanks.

OK
I am willing to organize something for this summer, say June, for a meet. I will even go as far as to call in to reserve a room at a restaurant or something. I can plan it on a Saturday (it being in June will be sufficient notice for those who need a heads up to take the day off) What do you guys think of all that? Please list what city you live in, so I may calculate (throw a dart at a map of minnesota) a location. |
Love the idea of a big june meet and greet. Besides the first weekend, i'm definitely down. And as a new member to RX ownership and this forum, I think it sounds like a great idea. Thanks Thompsolonian for volunteering to organize.

How does Saturday, June 19th sound?
We could meet at the usual spot (Fudrucker's) or at a Perkins or something. I would like to keep it simple, dinner and a drive, maybe a party at someone's house, or finish it off at the perfect ash with a cigar or something. I am making a google calendar event. Just look up RX-8 MN. I appreciate any ideas, pm me if you got any! |
Checking the Fifa schedule... Fine with me as long as it is after 12pm.
|
Saturday the 19th works, i like fuddruckers and drive. Oh, and I live Downtown if that helps.

alright, so we have June 19th, at fudrucker's, with a drive in the afternoon...
what time is best, 3pm? 330 pm? I can call within the next month or so as a courtesy to let them know what/when/how many to expect. Any volunteers for photography? All i have is a camera on my phone. It would be a great oppurtunity for the MN group to get a pic of them in their ride, with the window down, and a pic to post in their profile. If there is something else that sounds better, or a different thing you want to do, pm me with your ideas, or just post here, i'll do a poll to see if anyone likes any of the ideas the come my way. I'll host a party at my place in Eagan after the drive if anyone is interested. |
I will try to swing through if I can, would be nice to say hello to some other rx8 owners.

Sounds good. Speaking of photography I'd like to get my wife to go so I can snap some rolling shots. If she can't go maybe we can shuffle some people around to get it done. :ylsuper: Also if anyone knows of some fun roads in the area it would be nice to plan a route. The only ones i know are up in stillwater. :Freak_ani

Roads around Lake Minnetonka... only go 30 - 40 mph :dunno: but curvy and nice view of the lake. Hwy 3/Robert St, on the southside of 494. I will ask some of the guys from the G35 forum... I have a friend that may know some places.
On the other hand Interstate 394 section before you get to HWY 12 is a good section to do some actions if someone has a video camera. |
I have a pretty decent HD video camera that I could take videos and pictures with. I work and live in Wayzata so pretty much anywhere in the Metro is game for me. The piece of 394 you are talking about Luckycat is a pretty good place too for videos.
|
that sounds cool, Im in Moorhead MN, so I wouldnt mind drive down that way either for the day.
|
Will 12 Noon work with everyone. It's a larger meet, so the earlier the better.
|

I'am down for a meet. I just got my car done. Lets do it!
I'am in alexandria, MN I move to fargo in May. But im still down for whatever. |
So did a date get set yet? I kind of need a lot of notice to take off from work.
|
Its been awhile since I post. I am down for a mee,t but will not be in my RX8. Its going under a major transplant..
|
I know my car has some sort of aftermarket springs or struts, but not exactly sure what. I'm starting to look at summer tires- do I need to be careful for fitment with 235s at all?

I don't think so. I have 235s with 30 offset 18" wheels and no rubbing. My car is lowered 1.25" This ad has some wheels I am selling. (the car wasn't lowered then.) http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...661697872.html |
