I will post the next meet, I am hopeing for good weather and a strong RX-8 showing. I am tired of being the only one out there defending the 8 against all the crappy rumors going out there..I hear a new one every meet and I end up takeing some WRX owner or non beliver out for a ride they won't forget...

Hmm..sounds like some people need to be beaten about the face and shoulders. Are you guys not having one tonight? I'm going to be at Short Pump this afternoon, but I could come back tonight if needed.

9-k Rever, you weren't on 95 yesterday, were you? I got passed (on the SHOULDER) by someone in a black 8, and they ignored me, even though they were stopped next to me for almost 30 seconds. I assume it was not you, as the license plate was O2BNIT and they guy driving it just LOOKED like an a-hole. If I see this guy on here, I may just ban him on principle for being a moronic jackass.

Nope not me, 9-K Rever is my real plate and I am not a A-HOLE. I when I see another 8 I honk and waive. I am always looking for other 8's. I thought I was the only black one in Richmond for a good minute..I am usualy the only 8 on the road when I get out. But I do most of my driveing at night and if I am pushing the 8 its on the back roads. But the group is all meeting at a friends house tonite cuz we are scared of the Mall during the holiday season. Send me a PM and I will give you directions. Lots of cool cars there. But, once again..if you don't come..I will be the only 8....But there will be lots of beer. I have some awsome RX8 video's I will let you borrow. Mostly in Japanese though ( I speak Japanese I used to live there for several years)

Ahh..good question...I would say get a RE-Amemiya spoiler..or the Mazda speed one..but if you ask me every one is going to have that. Personaly thats what I am going to do also I am going to get steel braided break lines and the Mazda Speed exhaust and mabey the fly wheel..but the fly wheel will make it hard for an every day driver. But, a cold air intake would be cool, better than your every day K and N filter but, I don't want anything to change the sound of my 8 by too much..besides the spoiler I want people to look at it and think its a stock 8.. Oh, and my suspension is going...but that will be last on the list..
