Talking Long time lurker making intro

Hey All,

I've lurked around here for awhile but haven't really made an intro. zgot my 8 at the end of September used. 18,000 miles Brilliant Black 2005 Touring. I've seen lots of 8's in the area and have been told by the ones I've chatted with that this is the place for all 8 owners to be a part of.

I am a member of MazdasNW.com and attend their monthly meets. There is a few 8s in the group and they all say I need to come to the weekly Dicks meets in the summer when they start back up. I assume they're posted in the NW thread right?

I look forward to meeting some people and getting some ideas on mods for my 8.

-Rey

Lurk no more. The Dick's meets are posted here and should start more regularly soon. There are lots of people to help with mods, but I'm not one of them I'm a stock'er!

Congrats, welcome, and I'll see you around.

Cool, welcome! I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've met Brad (Rawrx8, Galaxy Grey w/ a cage and red racing seat) and Sean (Brilliant Black with a sweet stereo and carbon hood).

We do meets at Dick's on most Thursdays in the Summer. We always make a thread either that day or a couple days before that's some kind of pun on the name.

And welcome to the right club!

I'll be returning from Iraq here shortly, and I will pretty much offer up access to the lifts on Ft. Lewis if you want to make the drive down.

Thanks for the welcomes. Yea I know Sean and Brad those are the main two I've talked with. Sean's 8 is coming along nice, not sure when you guys last saw it. I am excited to see some more 8s and show off the few mods I have done (mainly lights). Dondo I think I've seen once around Renton a few months back. You gave me a flash but I was spacing out and didn't flash back.

How soon are the weekly meets starting back up? Any meets you guys have besides the Dicks? Any one have interest in joining up for a meet at one of the MazdasNW ones? They have a large monthly meet and I am typically one of two 8s there. There are a few RX-7 FCs and FDs that are there but it is far from enough rotarys. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I look forward to meeting you and getting a chance for you to show off your mods that make your car unique.
