Chris, you're still wearing the North Carolina hat, huh? Sorry 'bout your bad luck. =P

Mark - you painted your wheels? What color is your 8?

Tirminyl

Yeah, I rattle canned my wheels last year because I was trying to decide on what to have them painted as. I was going to go with black but I did a dark grey instead. I just put them back on last night as I have been rocking winter wheels. I will have them professionally done at some point. My 8 is black as well.

A guy in my office, he drives his wife's black RX8 in every now and then. He had the OEM 18" shipped to Colorado and got them chrome dipped. Can't decide if I like it or not, but either way I'm trying to convince him that his wife needs new wheels and to sell me his stocker 18" for my Mz3.

Not easy to convince a 50+ year old guy that he needs to buy his wife aftermarket wheels.

Right, you just have to convince the wife that she needs new aftermarket wheels and you'll have those babies in no time. LOL

OK everyone see ya at 7:00 keep your fingers crossed for the weather so far so good! But don’t hold your breath because it’s about 5 and a half hour away and personally I don’t think you can do it lol

I win the stock game! Nothing non-stock on me save for a coat of paint on my second set of wheels. Oh, and the Valentine 1, but that doesn't really count.

I'll be there at 7 with the little man unless it is pouring rain. Heck, might be there anyway.

Smog2k

Awesome to meet everyone tonight and for graciously accepting a Mz3 guy! Can't wait until the 14th.

Oh posted a few pics of the Veyron I talked about tonight just to prove this actually did happen. I did have to change my shorts after getting the pictures next to this car. 1000hp people!!!!!!!! 2 of them were outside, the other 2 were inside.

Had a great time tonight! Thanks to Jenny for stepping up and organizing everything.

It was great meeting all of you in person - what a cool group of people you all are! I hope my little guy wasn't too much of a busybody. I look forward to our next get-together - I learned a lot from all of you and had a really good time!

Mark, my sincere apologies again on behalf of both myself and Alex for the flying milk. I owe you a beer, soda or other miscellaneous beverage of your choosing.

J.D. (& Alex)

Tirminyl

JD- It's ok. I got a good laugh out of it, no biggie man.

Aaron- I missed that story. Im jealous. Not 1 BUT 4!?!

Nice meeting you all tonight! My pics turned out crappy. I have not mastered night shots. Plus I didn't get to take many.

webgrl

We'll get more pics at the next meet. I'll see if I can borrow my mom's SLR camera for that.

I had a great time, too. It was especially nice to hear from Chris and Jayna that I can actually do some stuff to my car without a degree in mechanics. And thanks, J.D., for making me feel comfortable about auto-x. I guess I will be out there this year after all!

Now it's time to get the other thread pumpin and get some more people out! I've done a lot of recruiting in the real world - I talk to every 8 driver I see and mention the forum.

And nowwwww I have to do some stuff to my car before the next meet!

rotaryfan04

Hey everyone thanks for coming out last night. Its good to put faces to names, were looking forward to the 14th.

Jenny good looking out on that camera we will have to get some good group shots. I really like your exhaust, let us know what mods you’re getting!!

Aaron I cant believe the dealer even let you stand next to it lol you might have left stare marks on it, 1000 kick *** points for you! Also how did you swap out the shark fin on your antenna?

J.D and Mark I will have to call on your collective wisdom for the wheels I'd like to touch up my stockers and both of your wheels look really good

Ryan Thanks allot for making the meet I know you’re pretty far away, it was awesome to see your doors in person and you kit looked great like I said the wheels really set if off!! Also thanks for the offer to hook up wheels and suspension parts you’re the man

Everyone one ells thanks for showing I’ll have to talk to you guys more at the BBQ in April.

webgrl

I have spent all day on this freakin forum and other websites trying to decide what to buy first! LOL I am looking at the K&N intake, clear corners, and a couple different body kits (I like the front bumper of the Ings+1 kit and the side skirts of the Mint Blue kit). The clear corners are probably the only thing that will get done before the next meet... the body kit will obviously be a while!

Chris, you are so mixed up on the KC thing in the forum names, huh? RYAN was there last night... he is kcmo. Matt was getting his body kit installed - he is kcvandal. =P

Ryan, got some questions for ya on the wheels/tires things... I'll pm ya. Also, where'd you get your body kit painted and how much was it?

SexyRotaryGoddess

Rotaryfan04 is such a nerd! just teasing Chris!

Smog2k

It was a pretty painless swap. Ordered it from Visual Garage for around $60. Its fully functional so you don't lose any stereo quality. A single wire is screwed into the factory antenna slot with a supplied bolt and you're good to go. That was the easy part, I spent probably 20min. aligning the damn thing to ensure it wouldn't be a rudder on the top of my car. Find the center of your roof and the center of the fin you're good. Just make sure its right the first time, because once its on, its ON.

rotaryfan04

Well I saw a white rx8 at the school today with some aftermarket rims looked good so I left the person a invite to the form and the BBQ on the 14th not sure if its a guy or girl or student or teacher but its a 8 so there invited none the less.

P.S jenny were you able to find a pic of missyk's car?

webgrl

Sweet, definitely invite anyone and everyone you see in an 8!

She has the "Cars" avatar, right? I did find some pics. What body kit does she have?

rotaryfan04

Hey Aaron are the intakes and exhaust universial between the I and the S model of the 3? Also babyboyblue I think is his handle but the buy at the meet last night with the 3s got a Mazda speed intake! Can’t wait to hear it.

rotaryfan04

I think it’s the R magic lip kit on the front and sides not sure what the rear is, but it’s lowered with 19 in rims just FYI

SexyRotaryGoddess

Yeah I want to hear his intake too. Did he have aftermarket exhaust?

rotaryfan04

I didnt see

rotaryfan04

K&N drop in forsale in the part sections for $37.50 jenny

rotaryfan04

Hey guys I'm trying to get a meet off the ground for Monday the 25th I’m thinking a BBQ, a friend from Michigan is coming down Charles Hill and was wanting to meet some of the owners in KC if anyone is up for it let me know.
