Well it was a geat meet except for Jill, glad to hear you are home safe. As for the rest of the drives is was exciting. Getting to know you all was good as well but I am going to have a hard time rembering everyone. Nice pictures buy the way, got just about everyone. I hope to see you all next time.

P.S. I will get my pictures up ASAP but for now I am back at school 24/7 till graduation.

kwescott

Just provided to spur on more of you towards the MS kit :D

kwescott

5 of our favorite group shots...

kwescott

These are Erica's favorite of what was not already used....some with a little extree added to them.

kwescott

Ok, I'm tired now.... :o

vipers

damn ....those are some great pictures....... too bad i had to work maybe there would have been more of my car...... looked like you had a good time on sunset

Outlaws eXtreme

Maybe Riccio can just get the real MS front bumper, instead of having to go Urethane ... If the damage is bad (crack), don't repair it with bondo, just go for the real thing...

Glad everything was alright though, no harm was done..

ill post my pictures soon, i didnt get very many this time. i guess i was not in a picture taking kind of mood. i should have given the camera to Michelle. then she would have had to take video and stills. :D

KrazieKave. what happend. we missed you. I'm sure what ever it was is was important. i know you wanted to go. Hope all is well.

Riccio, glad to see you were ok. that was a phone call i didnt want to get! you should have seen michells face, she was quite worried. you should have seen me turn around. you would have been proud!

Kwescott, Nice pictures! or should i say ERICA Nice pictures! i like the cartoon me. i'm hot as a cartoon! :D

everyone else. thanks for coming, hope to see you all on the next meet. we will shoot for one longer run instead of 3 small ones.

KrazieKave

Glad to hear/see you all had fun. I'm sorry about what happened Jill... sounds pretty bad.

I went to a USC Graduation on Friday (13th) then afterwards went to my cousins house to celebrate in Palos Verdes (near Redondo Beach). we were there till midnight, then when i proposed to my parents to leave they were like "Euhhhh, We're sleeping over." then i told them i have been anticipating this for a month and such and they're like meh.... get a life...

so then saturday morning I checked my messages hoping rx8squared left me a meesage w/ his number so i can call him back. I called him back and he's like WTF are you? then i gave them (rx8squared and lesper4) directions (that werent too good) (sorry). I heard you all picked them up on the freeway which is good!

Lesper and squared: sorry i didnt show-up at the sub-meet but i will be there next month! (if you are going to come next month) I'll be there for sure!

Kwescott sorry about this super long essay :P

in hopes of seeing ya'll next meet
-Krazie

Riccio

Ok - since you guys (and gals!) are probably interested in this:

New windshield to be installed in RX8 tomorrow night.

Will then take another flat bed trip to Auto Werks in El Monte - where, Peter thinks he can have the car back on the road and looking good in less than 3 weeks.

So, aside from the obvious $$$ involved, things are actually looking pretty good.

Riccio

Except - anyone with a good suggestion on the BEST place (price/delivery) to buy either a Koyo or Fluidyne radiator for my baby?

Thanks,

Jill

poorman

The radiator is shot?

It didn't look that serious.

vipers

her front fascia is urathane....just like the ms bumper.......and it didnt crack.......it did exactly what it was supposed to, it bent and twisted ....... the bumper might be salvagable..body shops can do crazy things now-a-days!! either way, she also still has the stock front fascia

i tried finding a place for your radiator......
http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/k...diators/mazda/
http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda...=2&id=joA6cjAG (note..this one was the cheapest)
http://www.pwr-performance.com/mazda.htm (this one is a prw alum. radiator)

there were a few others i found...but the prices were always in the $400's
hope that helps

Riccio

Yeah - the radiator seems to be leaking from the bottom right. This is a GREAT excuse to go ahead and upgrade (I'm a BIG fan of cooling upgrades).

Thanks Vipers - greatly appreciated!

speeddemon32

yeah, the bumper really did what it was supposed to. it bent out of shape, but after sitting there for a few minutes it went back into place. i seriously didnt see anything wrong with the bumper (besides paint)
also i am a little suprised it got into the radiator myself. it didnt look like it went that far in.

anyways, nice to see you will have her fixed fairly soon. makes me cringe just thinking about that sexy car not being on the road.

speeddemon32

he he, she said "FAN" of colling!

Riccio

HA HA - see? I'm funny and I don't even know it - a "natural" comedian!

I think maybe a rock, twig (or signpost) got the radiator - don't think it was the bumper.

Jill

speeddemon32

yeah, i ment the damage.

I didnt think the damage got that far into your car. i didnt mean the bumber. if the bumper went that far you wouldnt have much of a front end left.

must have beed a rock, or somthing like that. (like you said) i doubt it was somthing from the car that caused that.

anyways, let me know if you want me to post those pictures riccio. (i wont unless you say so) your trophy picture turned out pretty good.

KrazieKave

on a lighter note:

remember that carbon fiber titanium grey rx8 i was telling you guys about acouple of meets ago... (the one that was rear-ended)

well... he's back on the roads! i saw him today drivin' around...

vipers

id say the radiator was damaged during your "off-road" experiance when you were on that hill...... we all saw the final resting place, but i bet that bumper was pushed in alot further than that DURING the whole thing....it probubly pushed itself back out after the disaster like its supposed to ...i mean, you did knock out 3 of those reflector signs.......those are in the ground pretty good!!

kwescott

I would try and persuade riccio to at least allow the posting of the trophy shot...come on riccio We were all there, and I for one, would like to see it...

rx8squared

I had a good time this weekend. Its good to hear that riccios car isn't too bad off. look forward to next time and maybe a longer ride from start to end! See you all at the next meet.

Personally I think the picture should stay off, makes me cringe in my stomach. Maybe we should save it for the next meet in person. As for the repairs / mods sounds like you might get a better car out of it minus the memories and the dent in the pocket book.
