Whomever was driving down Mayfield Road at 11AM in their Sunlight Silver RX8 with temp tags. Please tell me you either had 200lbs in the trunk for traction. If not...you need an alignment...ASAP!

I assume you guys would want to do the usual Saturday meet? Just give me a few weeks notice on whatever days you decide because I work Saturdays 4pm-11pm so I'd have to ask off.

Ok...after talking to the only person with ideas around here...Steve...(Thanks Steve)..I've decided on the following.
Feb 27th - AutoShow
March - Dave and Busters
Apr 9th - Bowling
The two dates coincide with other dates in which I know I have to be in town. So far I've got nothing in March keeping me in town so I'm open to suggestions.

Josh, did you ever figure out your truck?
And those dates look good for me at this point in terms of being able to meet up for a brew or two or four.
For some reason, this winter seems longer and shittier than last winter...

Yes the truck is almost completely finished but not quite.
Heads refinished, new lifters, push rods, gaskets etc. Had to replace the spark plug wires because two of them were bad. Autozone replaced them underwarranty good thing considering there was only 30 miles on them. So now it runs as a V8. Only problem i'm having now is the battery isn't charging. The accessory belt tensioner got broken at some point i figured out so I don't think the alternator is charging it. This should be the last problem with the exception of a slight oil leak from somewhere.
I finally just took it to a shop to have the tensioner put on because I don't want to break another. Hopefully it will be done on Thursday.

Well... Ice Storm, huh? That's pretty hilarious.
Baldwin Wallace still made me go to class last night... Bronco had literally over an inch of ice on the hood.
Makes it hard to believe the first NORA Autocross is only 60 days away.

looks like my CRV. I couldn't get into it yesterday. oh darn, couldnt go to work. lol.
I swore i could hear my 8 in the garage laughing at the CRV though.
Went out last night with several pitchers of luke warm salt water, ice scraper and some patience and worked on the passenger door. took about 30 minutes. Got it open and started the engine. let it run another 15 mintues to get warm. from inside, i broke through the ice sealing the driver side door. An hour later, all windows were cleared and i drove it to the store.
Lunchtime today i pulled dinner pizza pan size (and larger) sheets of ice off the hood and roof.
Ohio weather FTW!

Hey guys, new to the forum (but I've been trolling a little bit). Figured I'd pop in and say hi to errrr one. I'm back in the RX8 market and looking to get one here hopefully soon. Hopefully.
If anyone knows anyone that is selling their RX8 here in Ohio anywhere let me know. Or if you can, please direct them to my thread, would be much appreciated. I have one under NE w/s and under the general one for the whole site. But I'll leave a link here for convenience, https://www.rx8club.com/ne-sale-wanted-140/wtb-mt-rx8-ohio-211590/

Tinted 35% all around

Racing Beat Midpipe (OEM Cat included)
Agency Power Catback (Stock Exhaust included)

I think that's everything. With all the extra stuff I think $20K is pretty fair.

^^^Theres a 2004 Gray 6pd GT down in Columbus with clear corners and a Mazdaspeed front bumper and side skirts with 84k miles for a little over 8 grand.
I saw it in one of those car dealer magazines at the bar last night. I took a copy of it for reading material on the toilet. If you want more info on it let me know and I'll post it up when I get home.
BTW, hai everyone. Figured I'd stop in and say howdy. Plus apparently the rx8club missed me since they sent out one of those cool emails saying so. hahaha
EDIT: holy **** I haven't logged in since October. Right around the time I stopped driving the 8 for the season.
