Hey that looks like my car

I've seen 3 other 8s in the last week. I saw a blue one on Saturday night and today I saw a black one (needed a wash bad hehe) parked on the road, and I saw a yellow one driving home.

Wow.. that's a nice pic.. what kind of cam is that...

That place sort of looks familiar.. where is that? The old Sears Dist?

Are you running with no front plates or did you just photochop it out?

Questions galore!

I have a Canon G3 (4 megapixel)...it takes pretty good pics. I took off the front license plate bracket and I plan to leave it off when I get my plates. I think it's illegal in Hawaii to run w/out front plates but there a a bunch of cars on the road that don't have any. There is a Jag in my building driven by a guy in his 50s and he doesn't have a front plate so the heck with it LOL. If you get fined it's only an equipment violation, not a moving violation so it won't affect your insurance.

That pic was taken at a parking lot by Comp USA on Keawe St. I posted a whole bunch of pics in the gallery forum.

Are you using Zaino? There is only one guy in Hawaii selling Zaino and he sells out of his house in Aiea. The Zaino Store will not ship to Hawaii so you have to go to the Hawaii distributor.

I think I've just seen that silver one you meant. It was crusing down to the northshore while I was just coming back up.

There aren't too many silver ones, are there? I've seen only 2 so far (incl mine)

Not from HI, but visit there often. Last August I saw a red 8 in the KTA parking lot in Kailua-Kona -- it was an automatic. Otherwise it was identical to mine.

Maybe it was RX-Nut? He has a GT. It couldn't have been me cause I don't have the GT.

Wassup peoples

Hey guys,

New to this forum just picked up my winning blue rx8 on Octoeber 21st. I was just wondering if the HI owners were going to start up a club and if any of you have bought any after market wheels yet?
