I saw a silver 8 w/ IL Route 66 plates in front of me downtown today... I also see one parking in the garage by where I work (next to Busch Stadium).

 

Nice to see the STL 8s are out. We just had a meet down here in sunny Florida on Sunday. Maybe 20 cars or so, a dozen or so FDs. I'll be back up this weekend. Can't wait 'til it warms up and we can set something up. Anyway, there are a bunch of pics here:

I bought my Yellow one out in Ellisville, but I only make it to St. Louis on weekends periodically.

I live in DeSoto and drive to Villa Ridge each day on 40 miles of twisting 2 lane highway. The 8 was the perfect car for this commute.

I've got about 4k on it so far.

I don't think I've seen a single 8 on the road since I've been driving mine, but I'm mostly away from the city.

 

Check out my thread about the get together tonight 2/4/05 (in the MW forum). Hope to see as many as can make it!

 

Hey, check out more get together talk in "STL meet", also in the MW forum.

 

Hey Ryan, I got a peek at your BB 8 out behind Dobbs the other day when I was driving down Lindbergh. I will be in eventually to get the AC looked at on my truck. I'll make sure to introduce myself, if you are there.

 

I almost forgot to tell you guys that you can identify me now. I'm in the LY 8, with the plate that reads: WKL PWR. So if you see me out there, give me a wave, a wink of the fog lights, or a little honk.

Im the owner of that car now lol... Its amazin and i couldnt ask for anything better!

 

I can't wait for the autox's to start up again! It'll be good to get my car out again (and keep my mazda motorsports membership up to date )!

 

Hey Katie, was that you I saw yesterday afternoon on eastbound 270? It was a gray 8 with an attractive brunette female driving. There was also a passenger that I did not see very well.

David

 

I've seen quite a few lately on my side of town. I saw a blue @ Chevy's in O'Fallon the other night (it was very dirty btw ) and another one on seven hills road. I don't normally see blue's on the road, so it was odd to see so many of them in a short period of time.

 

Who's the Titanium that's always at Diamonds?

 

Just got my 8 a month ago. Nordic Green with appearance package and spoiler. Live in Fenton and take 270 to 70 east every morning around 6:30. Getting the windows tinted today :D and will soon have a Marine Corps sticker on it. Just don't know how big of one to get Honk if you see me,

Bought my Titanium 8 about a month ago. Been reading these forums like crazy. I would like to know which mods other STL area 8 owners have done? I am wanting to get a new suspension and possibly a lightweight flywheel, and any information/input on where to get the work done around St. Louis (particularly best place to get the flywheel installed) would be appreciated.

I currently have the Racing Beat REVi intake and Racing Beat exhaust as well as sway bars installed. If anyone in the area is interested on what these are like installed on an 8, I would be happy to meet them somewhere and show them.

I live in Ballwin.

Hola amigos, guess I've missed this post, but I have a RX-8 and live in Afton. PM me if anyone ever gets together for a meet.

 

my advice would have the dealer install it so that if they screw up, it'll be covered on ur warranty.

u should post some pics of ur car with all the mods, would love to see em.

 

we need a get together. I just got back from texas and I don't know anyone else in my area with an 8.
We should get together this weekend or sometime soon.
Someone other than me should get this organized :D

p.s.
I posted earlier that I live in Illinois just outside of the LOU.

 

I'd love to see that REVi intake. As soon as the ram-air unit comes out, I'm going to get both. Which flywheel are you planning on getting (RB, Mazdaspeed, etc.)? Are you planning on autox'ing it? With all that stuff, you definitely should!!! You can still stay in BS w/ your mods.

Check out http://www.stlsolo.org/ for more information on the local SCCA.

dos: Did you mean Alton, or Afton (never heard of-not that this means anything...)?

 

UR Pulleys and flywheel
RB Clutch
MS Sway Bars
Tein Flex Coilovers with EDFC
RP High Flow Supercat
Borla Exhaust

Some other stuff. You might check out Lightspeed Motorsports on 170 and Olive.

Could have been me. I have clear corners so you can identify me that way.

BTW I pass a yellow rx8 almost everyday he is in the fast lane on east bound 70 near St. Charles Rock Rd exit. I saw it the other day and it has a thick black stripe down the middle now- Anyone here?

Katie

 

Hey Katie,

That's me in the yellow w/ black stripe. Spdspappy saw it right after I got it done, and I think he approved. What's your take on it? So far I have gotten good reviews. I work over in Riverport Plaza off Earth City Expressway, so you probably see me coming to or heading home from work.

Phil

 

Yeah, I approve... It's unique & looks really good (it was bbg80's design). The bodyshop did a great job as well.

 

From what I see-I like it. When I work overtime at work I get off at four and see you every time right about the same spot in the fast lane lol.

Katie

 

Thanks Spds and Katie for the approval. Like Spds said, I designed the paint job. So please don't go out and copy me. I prefer the unique look.

You know Katie, in a car like the 8, it doesn't belong anywhere but in the fast lane.

 

I'll save judgement for the 80's bumble-bee look till I see it in person. It has me scared though
