Very nice.

I appreciate your time for the information; I mailed Kristopher to add me to the list. I’m also looking forward to sharing my passion and hope to learn a few things about upgrades for the body and engine. I’v only had mine for four months and have not yet added to it. I can not wait to see what kind of creativity other have applied to their cars. BTW; looking for a paint artist.

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a new RX8 (Black, GT, Appearance pack, Rotary Acc pack, Front splash guards). I live in Bellevue. Please let me know if there is a meet near by. I like the car so far except the mileage :-).

I fidn difficult to maintain. Looks bad as it always rains here. Let me know if there is a good detail shop near by. Its been only 2 weeks since i bought my car and i have wahed it 6 times untill now.

Last time I went for washing at pink elephant. Asho...., I find lots of scratches in my car after the wash. I am looking for a good shop who can buff my car without charging an arm and a leg.

Well, I jsut got a Grand Touring model, all the options except the multi disc changer, unless I jsut havent figured it out yet. The nav system is pretty sweet. anyways its an 04 black exterior,, and black leather interior. I love it already. I will be posting up many things trying to learn more. I am finnally back. Here is the small list of Rotaries so far,

71 Rx2 Coupe, 72 Rx2 Coupe, 72 808 Coupe (planned on making it rotary), 5 different first gens and 3 different 2nd gens. and now my 04 RX8. I am currently looking to pickup a RX4 and a REPU. BTW Rotaries Rule.

Welcome! Yes, there are many of us in the area. Just poke around the NW Forum and you'll figure out who we are. There are monthly drives that are planned and coordinated by kristopher_d -- they are a blast (yes, even in the rain!).

P.S. Ti-grey's are the fastest

They're always posted in the NW Forum. I think you've even talked about going on one or two in the past

Here are examples of what you'll usually see... Kristopher_D is normally the person who starts the thread.

Yup, Kristopher usually titles his posts like "[month] Drive." Just keep an eye out for them.

Hello

Hello forum, just bought my first 8 and can we say love. Wanted to say Hello and get know some of you all in the area. I am living up in Arlington and work out at the airplane plant AKA Boeing.

Not only am I new to the 8 but also new to the NW, moved here from the South and got rid of my big oll BUBA truck as my co-workers put it. Figured I can save some $$$$ and drive something fun.

Welcome to the NW and to Boeing! Bummer, you just missed our monthly drive today - we were up in your area too... We met in Mt. Vernon, drove the backroads to Bellingham, came down famous Chuckanut Drive, then over the Anacortes for lunch. You can see the details in the "Shamrock Shuffle" thread. Kristopher_D is the person who puts these together, at least for the northenders, so be on the lookout for the April drive, and check out his website - The Winding Road.

Almost exactly 1 tank of fuel east of Seattle, if you set the cruise at 5 over. It's a 3.5 hour drive to get there, but some of the roads are great!

Hi there everyone! While I don't have an RX8 I do still own a Mazda. Proud owner of an 07 Mazdaspeed 3 in Sunlight Silver. Mods so far on her include the Mazdaspeed CAI, modified stock exhaust, window tint and a 6500k HID conversion kit.

I'm hoping to join in on some of the drives, schedule permitting, hope you guys don't mind a lil ol 3 hanging out with you.
