Hey Katchoo, I don't know if anyone has approached a dealer, but they usually sponsor club events, not the club, but you can always ask. Some dealers give discounts to club members they are affiliated with, but you have to establish a good working relationship first. I am a member of the Tidewater Mopar Club. You don't have to drive a Mopar to belong, but I think a club for only RX8 owners would be good. I don't have the time right now to try and get something started, but I'd be interested in being a member. If you have the time, see what you can do.

 

I was in a Corvette club back a few years ago and they sponsored the whole club...pretty cool with lots of active members.

Anyway, if I ever get on good terms with my dealer (didn't buy the '8' from them) then I may ask the question.

 

OMG! I just became a "member" verses a 'junior.' YAY

See? Posting stuff about other stuff pays off!

Now, when do I get my official mebership card and decoder ring? Heh heh

*scampers out the back door before the gathered crowd notices a crazy person has been let loose in the forums again*

 

haha im just going to show off also, i just turned into a Senior Member. HA HA <snort>

 

<snort>? OMG...HE SNORTED!

That is so...so...

Well it is! Don't argue with me!

 

After ten long weeks our RX8 has finally arrived. The dealer was pretty good about it. Mazda never did give them a delivery date so they had the district manager do a search for one that matched what we wanted. The dealer included the spare tire at no extra cost since the car had everything else we wanted. Of course it would rain today......

 

Well, I get to take mine in today for service. 2 Recalls and now the check engine light came on.

 

Do you mind if I ask what the recalls were for?

 

Hey- I'm based at Oceana Master Jet Base. I have a Titanium 8. Had mine since November and it's going into the shop in the morning for the recall. Going to Hall Mazda--hope it goes well..

 

Another owner with a recall? We're getting nervous. What's the recall for?

 

The recall was for the airbag and some type of tranny damper.

Of course they FOUND NOTHING on the check engine light. I ased about getting the latest ecu flash and was told it doesn't exist. Pretty friggen bad when "I" know more than "Mazda service".
I guess from now on, I'll try Hall for service. First Team sucks. My car interior was dirty, the radio was left on SO LOUD it startled me (I turned it off when I dropped off car) when I turned the key on. They broke my keychain, had to wait for a stupid *** to figure out the paperwork for a loaner (1/2 hour), and the same when returning the loaner.

When I drop off my G35, their service procedures are actually pleasant.

 

Wierd....I have used First Team (1 time) and was very happy with thier work.

Maybe just a bad hair day at First Team.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who does handpainted pinstriping? We've talked to people who will do the tape pinstriping, but we'd rather not go that route.

 

I had my car since july, im stationed out of fort story and live at the ocean front...if i may ask racebanon did u put different rims on the car? cause i saw one the other day w/ some. Im about to take my car in for the recalls....so far a lot of the people i talk to say it was an in and out fix. Nothing to be worried about really, ppl dont even recognize the difference before and after taking it to the shop. well if any of u guys are thinking about getting aftermarket exhaust i got the borla back in december if you are in the oceanfront and would like to hear it. I am also curious if you guys added any aftermarket parts?

 

I own Audio Connection on Laskin Road (accross for Hilltop North) , and I would love to hear the exhaust!!
I am there M-F.

Thanks

 

Hey i would like to speak to you as well! Ill gladly bring the car around so you can hear the borla...but maybe you can help me out. Before i got the 8 i had an suv w/ a coustic amp and jl audio w3's in some kinda bandpass box that they make. I've been trying to get rid of it for almost a year now...(well not really trying that hard but wanted to see the best thing to do for it?) If not, maybe you guys can make a coustom made box for me???

btw my name is art :P

 

Sorry, we do home audio only. Can't help out on the car audio stuff.
But I do look forward in hearing the Borla. No big rush, when ever you are in the area and have a minute.
Bill

Art,

Good to meet ya.

Thanks for stoppin by, the Borla sounds like me.
We'll keep in touch.

Hi Mazda bretheren!
I'm in Virginia Beach but I am a 3rd gen Guy. I have building and porting rotary engines for over 20 years, lots of fun. I thought I'd pop in and check out the new rotary crowd.
