Nice! That was quick since NOPI wasn't all that long ago. You gotta let me know when you're headed to an event. I haven't taken my out in a while but she's itchen to leave the garage.

I swear every time I try and show that PC off it blows up on me. Did you ever end up putting a CarPC in your TC? If you haven't and you decide to go that route let me know and I'll hook you up. I became a reseller for Jetway a couple months ago and finally got my hands on some of the new C7 boards

Hehehe, ya no kidding..... had no idea I would be an RX-8 owner when I was at NOPI with you guys. 10 days ago, my buddy told me about one they had at our local dealer that the price just got dropped on, so we looked at it that night, and I ended up leaving the tC there on the lot and driving home the RX-8. I only had the Scion for 13 months... it was just one of those crazy compulsive things... But damn! it's nice to have 12.7 inch rotors up front, 230+ HP, rear wheel drive, HIDs.etc ...oh yea.

I had all my research pretty much done on the Car PC I wanted for the tC (a prefab company out of Canda....yea I know cringe) but I am going to start over now...
I have no problems building from scratch, so I am totally down with getting stuff through you... thanks!

I look forward to meeting up again at a rotary get together...

Very cool. You must still bee flying then. Especially if you have only had her 10 days. So how's she treating you so far? Is she auto, manual? Also If you ever want rims let me know. There's a local who said he would hook our club up with discounts Actually you might have met him at NOPI. His name is Ryan. He had the bad *** blue Supra. Think he was hanging out with Mac (yellow 8) most of the day.

Hey what's up. Good to see you're alive and kicking. How you been man?


I'm more interested in the other footage you might have

 

nice pics from picture 1 to 2 you know what everyone is looking at. So what goes on at NOPI anyway?

 

Yup, still a little high on 91 octane too It's an early 2005 6 speed just like yours, minus the leather and NAV. Bone stock. It's running great so far, with 29K on the ODO, I suppose it's well broken in by now! Just trying to get used to going from 28 MPG to 18 MPG! Man that damn gauge drops like bombs yo!

First thing I am getting is new wheels, going with 19x8/19x9 245/275 for giggles
and then a rear sway to help offset the fatboys in the back (watch me go to 12 MPG!). I gotta wheels/tires buddy that is supposed to hook me up too, but I'll let you know if it falls through... btw, do you know for sure those were 19's on the black gullwing RX-8? That's the wheel I am looking at, G-Games 2 piece 77 Wolf in Gunmetal (Cast/Spun/heavy!).

Are you talking about Ryan Woon? hahaha, sorry I can't help but think of him when you say Supra and Ryan in the same sentence...

Mazdamaniac (Jeff) has the black 8 with the Lambo doors and the wheels are Ray's. Ryan (not Woon) is a buddy of mine who is a parts retaier www.tunerscorner.com (tell him i sent you). BTW Ryan no longer has the Supra, he sold it and got a new M3 convertible.

Lesper- NOPI is mainly an East cost event...go to www.nopi.com for details. The only event out west this year was in Phoenix a few months ago. Mainly a car show and drag racing (2 days but theres always something going on).

Thanks Mac, I do remember meeting you at NOPI-

Makes sense on Jeff's wheels, as Rays makes the G-Games line (Exclusive Discount Tire deal) and they even have Rays centercaps.

Ryan's site has been bookmarked! Thanks!
