Dave, glad you decided to post. Nice to know someone is out there pointing Rx8 fans in the right direction. There are a few local guys that were at one point very active on this thread but time takes us all on our different paths. The good news is most of us still own the Rx8s and doing well. I will try and get some to post in this thread again. Hopefully we can spark up some good interest in a bbq meet or something similar.

Yeah, he said I should join RX-8 club, but I've already been here for a few years.

I can't make any promises about coming to meets... I've been a member of so many car forums over the years that I'm just about over it. But then again, I keep vacillating between selling the car and keeping it so who knows!

this weekend is cars and coffee at Dupont Registery

Saturday Dawn to 10:00 AM, this particular meet may go beyond the normal time frame as there will be several cars showing up from the Gold Rush Rally. Hopefully I will see some of you guys there.

June's Featured Guests
goldRush Rally 4

See all your dream cars at June Cars & Coffee!

The goldRush Rally 4 will head to the duPont REGISTRY™ headquarters from an overnight stop in Orlando before the rally reaches its final destination in Miami!

50 additional exotic cars will be in attendance, including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Bugatti, Maserati, Viper, Rolls-Royce, Maybach and more!

UPDATED - Parking: The duPont REGISTRY™ Cars & Coffee staff will be directing show cars and attendees to their parking spots. Please follow their directions, as we have drafted up an ideal layout to accommodate for everyone who attends.

Extended Hours: Hours will be extended to accommodate the rally, as they will be arriving around 8:30 A.M. and staying until 10 A.M.

Is this George?

This is Kyle, Jose's friend, are you still having problems with the 8?

If so give me a call and we'll see what we can do to help you out.

Yes it's me. Got it started after cleaned plugs and swapped out a coil. Doesn't like to start again while hot.

Where is Dupont Regsitry located maybe I will show up this weekend.

Glad you got it started, you're still on the original engine right? With that high of mileage it may just be time for a rebuild.

The Dupont Registry is over in St Pete off of Ulmerton Rd....

Dawn to 10:30am, how early is dawn? 7 - 8 am??

It is like 2 minutes from my work but 40 minutes from home.

If I am brave enough and think car can make it I might try to go.

Yup, original engine. Missed extended warranty by 5,000 miles or so.
