Phil- I got the Mazsport cooling mod from Armin- It's awesome and just in time for the heat. Let me know when is the next meet your going to so that I can get you the cash and I have a bottle of pre-mix with your name on it. Thanks for any awesome mod at an awesome price. I will pass it on to another member as soon as I get the AccessPort (Armin has first Dibs) as long as he gets his 8 road worthy.
Armin- thanks for helping me throw on the MCM even though you gave me rusty tools and heart ache all he kept saying was, "why are you playing?" then after 30 minutes of struggling he would run inside and get me the right tools for the job and then he'd say, "I have all kinds of tools" J/K Thanks for the help.
Gil- I tried to call your house to go and work on the car but I think your Dad answered and said, "He's not home, wait let me check to make sure...yeah his car is not outside, he's not home." Your cell message said outside of range or no reception.
I won't be able to make the meet to night due to the fact that I have to work tonight. Hopefully on Friday.

I'm looking over the wheel right now to familiarize what bolts to loosen to preload... is it the 17mm or the two 14mm?
the DIY said it was the two 14mm that was on the upper...

Someone should definitely plan a group ride/meet... (i'm not volunteering as of yet)..
maybe an inaugural group drive once Armin is back on the road... so he has to plan it...

LOL I went for a drive up to red rock. Went the long way, as my car needed to be run. Running alittle rich as I have been driving it rarely and when I do very short distances. So I needed to redline and just run it for awhile. When I was done, car is now behaving, I felt better. And felt sociable so I looped the meet on my way home.

What’s up everyone~ Brand new RX-8 owner here and recently only moved to Las Vegas a little over a year ago. I'm current stationed here at Nellis Air Force Base and just drove out to California to make my first real car purchase. I’ve always wanted an RX-8...Always had an emotional attachment since the car reminds me so much of my very first car (Ford Probe / Mazda MX-6) Got it in pretty much the same color too :P I don't want to modify the RX-8 too much...I really like the stock look with all the official Mazda appearance packages anyway. If I do anything to this RX-8 it would have to be reasonably reversible. I might get a used 2009 next-gen RX-8 in like 2010 once the price drops so I can afford one~
Just wondering what's going on with the LV crew. Wouldn't mind finding out when the next get together or whatever is to get a feel of what others have done to their RX-8s and just get more familiar with the car in general. I am somewhat in the market for either 1-4 OEM Mazda chrome rims (in decent shape if anyone has any) or just entirely different rims in general. (One of the rims is starting to peel bad, the others just have a lot of corrosion on them). I'm also trying to find an official 2004 Mazda RX-8 car book/manual since the car didn't come with one. So far I’ve just done the basics...20% window tint on all sides except the front, clear corners, and every official Mazda appearance package possible (came with the car) This is probably as far as I will take it.
Don't ask me what the thing on the front is...I can't tell if it is custom from the previous owner or it's an actual Mazda option. It actually has nothing to do with the front license plate either it's definitely just an appearance item. I don't know I kinda like it...I'm somewhat indifferent...it definitely looks unique but I can't tell if it looks cool or it looks cheap. I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to get it off to see if I like it on better or not but I didn't have much luck there...opinions anyone? :o
I posted more pictures in the "Calling all Winning Blue Metallic" Thread. This is pretty much as clean as the car is possibly going to get. I spent like 5 hours doing: clay bar, pre wax, wax, tire scrubbing, rim scrubbing, interior detailing, rubber scrubbing, touch up paint’in, etc.
