Delayed response here, but that is the weekend of rock on the range here in columbus. That's where I'll be at all weekend, otherwise I would be up for something.

Getting together was great - we need to do it again soon with more people.

Take note of Marlon's post above. $30 for the weekend is a great price with all the stuff that will happen then. I'll be going up Friday & Saturday that weekend. Maybe we can organize a caravan. Let's get a good showing from Columbus!

Sadly I have to get rid of the 8. It's a great car but I need to lower my payments so the 8 is being downgraded to a 3.

That said, I have a few things to dump off if anyone's interested.

1) Four (4) Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires. Odd size - 245/40/18 - but they fit on stock wheels and did great during February's snow storms. Lots of tread left (~9/32). Asking $300

2) Four (4) BBS RK wheels. 18" x 7.5". They work with the stock tire width (225) but not with the snow tires above. Great wheels, though. They're about 3 lbs. less than stock wheels. Asking $400

3) XCarLink iPod adapter. Plugs into the sat radio jack in the back of the stock RX-8 head unit. The RPM store is selling these for $125 shipped. Asking $100


4) Two (2) genuine Mazda oil filters and one (1) Purolator filter. Asking $10 for all three

If you're interested e-mail me at colnago1331 (at) gmail <dot> com. I live in the UA/Grandview/Campus area. Can generally meet almost anywhere in Central Ohio depending on my schedule. I can also take pics of anything and e-mail them to you.

I need more info on it, the link in the post at the top of the page doesn't seem to work for me no matter what computer I'm on. As of now I'm completely clueless about the whole thing.

Bummer. Surprised I never saw you around, since you apparently live very close to me. I went with Mr. Tint for my windows as you suggested, quite happy with the job, albiet I kinda wish I had gone down to 20%. But at least I'm not too worried about being pulled over for it.

I have some interest in the blizzaks, but I was looking more towards July (good old 3 paycheck month) for picking up some winter tires so I'll have to think about it.

Yeah, I miss her already and it's been less than 24 hours.

Glad Mr. Tint did a good job for you. I hate the tint law in Ohio but to some degree I do understand the reasoning behind it.

Check with me about the Blizzaks in July. If I still have 'em and you want to buy them they're yours and I'll throw in the oil filters for free if they're still sitting there too. I just measured them this morning and they've got around 9/32 tread left.
