the eclipse had rx-8 head lights and tail lights. I thought it was a red 8 with a body kit from a ways back but the closer I got the wierder it looked. I didn't have the pleasure of driving my car down there thanks to the dealer but I did see two 8s parked next to each other both days. Was that ya'll?

LOTS of rice this year and that was about it. There were a few nice company cars there but other than that it was a rice bowl.

Indeed, I think I counted 4 8's in the show, the red carbon fiber, the MS Nordic Green, the SINGLE car in the show - a Stock Winning Blue over in the Mazda Compact section, and another one which doesn't stick out in my mind. I counted between 10 and 15 7's. Rotary was very VERY unrepresented at this show, we really need to rally for next year!

We really should get about 20 or so 8s and go. If you pay $100 it gets you entered in the show and gets you three runs on the dyno. It's a great deal plus we could probaly win the club entries event and split the money :D

Damn a 20 car caravan of 8's would be impressive. Just Gimlet and I following each other turned some heads. We should really organize something for next year!

We should be able to do it. I usually cruise with some vw's, 350's, and some other "tuner-type" cars. We turn heads around town all the time. None of the 8s up here are into that kinda of stuff. One other 8 has a mod done to his and that's his rims. I'm pretty sure mine's one of the most modded ones around my area :D

cat back exhaust and midpipe, undrive pulleys, cold air intake, air filter, getting custom leather blue/black, replacing all of the red interior lights with blue ones, clear corners, maybe MYABE full exterior MS, and when a real system comes out slapping a turbo on her. that is just off the top of my head, there may be more
