I'm going to back out of this one and head over to the pavillions instead.
Since Barrett-jackson is happening this week, there may be some cool stuff at the pavs.
Mac and Tim mentioned that it fills up really early. IE: noon so if you want a spot get there early.

Because people like to show off what they have. It's like when Nascar comes into town. The whole west side is nuts.

Just talked to Poolside and we're meeting at the Bamboo Grill at Deervalley Mall around 12:30pm before heading to the Pavilions. Anyone that wants to join us is more then welcome to do so. It's an awesome asian food place and it's pretty damn cheap for as good as it is. It's west (on the right) of the main entrance to the Theatre.

A friend of mine has been telling me about some great riding out past Globe. But even getting to Globe would take forever for some of us. I like the Tortilla Flats drive of those who went not too long ago don't mind doing it again. Bartlett lake could be cool. It's all paved yah? I don't know that I've been out there. Is it north west?

Will my engine cover still fit w/a front sway bar?

Yes it will fit with some minor cutting to the cover, I had to cut my new CF Cover (see the pics you took). As far as runs Im all for doing something my way (Queen Creek). When I meet up with Boxacr at his place to go to Speedworld, Wickenburg etc is already a helll of a drive...but...you know I'll show up anywhere.
Good seeing you all yesterday.

Mac name the place out your way and I'm in. I'm sure Easy_E1 would be happy not to drive half way across the world as well. Hell give the other Tuscan guys a call or email and see if they want to join us. Should be fun.

Just sent out an email to everyone. I'll leave off the company info on the forum to avoid problems w/ the moderators . If you have any questions feel free to email or PM me.

"I just talked to a friend of Mac's the other day about offering the AZ RX-8s a discount on parts. He's a good guy, I just placed a wheel order with him yesterday

Here's his response and company info. -

"It was great doing business with you. I would love to offer a discount to the RX club. I would say that on most parts I could give them 10%-15% off my advertised price for most product lines. For some products this would fall below my cost, but I am willing to give them the best possible deals.

Ryan"

OK I'm back until next week. I would like to get some events scheduled before midterms so let me know what you guys and girls would like to do. I've been talking to Mac and we have a possible ride on the weekend of February 25th to either Canyon Lake or a ride through Globe. Let's get this going again!

I open to either. No preference.

Globe makes for better driving, once you get out of town. For us west siders that is saying something.

Canyon would be a shorter trip allowing time for other obligations that day... but still on the east side.

Either way, if I am in my 8 I am pretty happy. Don't think that I am bitching about driving to the east side!

I will try to show for both, if we do both! Just make it one a weekend!

Awesome, congradulations on moving on up the ladder! You were always bad at making phone calls so I didn't take it too personally. I was starting to wonder what happened to you. How's the house coming along and how did the floors end up? I'm going to be pretty busy over the next coulpe of weeks but you and I need to go out for a drink before the month is over. Cool? Tell the wife I said hello.

I'm up for Globe. Never been that far east and I hear there are some great roads out past that way.

Another...congrats on the house man. That's AWESOME!
