Why cant we just do something up here around 54 and 41 then. Even if its just Kris jason and I. I mean I really dont care. Jason you know i like talking about cars lol, its not all about beer with me (although beer is not all bad). Just throughin it out there. I never got to see Kris' car finished. let me know guys. and if any one else lives in the area dont be shy through some ideas out there.

The saiga is bad ass btw. wish i had the money to buy up some nice guns

Mysql: I'll go along with you. When you going? I am work this weekend so if it's then I can' t go.

RWD+LSD=ZOOM: I live a few minutes from 54/41. I am up for any meet within a resonable location. The problem I have is the meets that are set up sre usually the weekends I have to work. I'm waiting on my coils to arrive and then I will be running again. I still need to get together with Mysql so we can go to the gun range. Set something up and I will go providing I am off and my coils are in. I have a coil failure CEL and need to wait. Shouldnt be too much longer.

hey i just bought a turbo is there any one around here (Palmetto/Bradenton) with some experience that could help me out. I know a lot about cars, and how a turbo works. Just never installed or worked on an aftermarket kit. If any one could help it would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

I installed mine with the help of BHR. Pick a weekend and if I am off I will help you out. It' really just connectiing legos once the turbo is mounted.

im going to try and do it, starting Monday. but i need to get ahold of the oil lines. I bought the kit used and cant seem to find the oil lines for the turbo.

Does anyone know where i could fnd some. or possibly buy the parts myself at a local hardware store

Cattywampus
06-07-2009, 03:02 PM
Check GReddy's website. If not I would guess you could do it with different lines. The hard part will be trying to find the AN3 fitting that goes to the oil pressure sending unit on the engine block. It took me a couple of days to find one that fit. Good luck. Also check around with small hardware stores. They seem to be the only ones that carry that fitting. I got mine at Ace Hardware.

Hey Tampa,
Are we still on the Map!
Do you still love your RX8!
Let's get together and show off, make heads turn. People love to see our vehicle all lined up. We all like to make new friends and get together with old friends. I'm still some what new, so I just thought I would put that out to some of the vets out there. Tampa is a fun place, so lets have some fun. Open for suggestions.

we will be having another meet here shortly (rotary4life.com) that should involve one or more race facilities and race series organizations. As cool as these events are they take time to put together. When I get back to Tampa I can garantee more frequent meets and drives. As of right now I am in Pensacola another 10 or so months. Keep an eye for the above mentioned beause we have already initiated talks.

How about a Meet and Greet this Sunday? Someone pick a spot in tampa and lets get a few ppl together! It does not have to be about racing, just food and fun. I know there is few of us out there who want to get this thing going on at least once a month basis.

Well guy tomorrow does not sound like a good time for everyone. I have to go a play tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. So, why don't we find a date that would work for everyone and plan from there. The only time I am not available is the July 9-13 going on a cruise. Also, channel side sounds like a good location. I'm easy to please, so location is not a big deal with me for the most part. However, I do have limitations (ha,ha). I am glad to see everyone is interested, may we can get together soon.

Maybe I'll try out my charm on mall management and see if I can get us hooked up on something.

The worst thing that can happen is they will laugh in my face.

For all those attending or any other who are thinking they might show up. Please bring your significant other. I just had a 30 minute conversation with my wife who thinks that all we are going to do is stand in the parking lot and look at each other cars.

I spent this time explaining that its about the community as much as it is about our rides.

OK so I went there today and parking will be at a premium. They do have a upper parking garage that is about 100 yards from the entrance to Bay Street where the bars are at. Also there is parking directly underneath. There were far less cars under then out in front.

In fact if you go past the Bay street entrance and hang a left you can go about a 100 ft and make a right into a parking area. Turn right before the security booth and there was some parking that was empty under some industrial fans.

I park there this afternoon it looks like the bes place.

That being said. The blue martini is having their little black dress party Saturday night and it is a very strict dress code. Dress shirt, slacks and shoes.

I did talk to the hostess at the place next door. Bar Louie they said we could call ahead and reserve a table. But I need a definite head count by Wednesday night.

So I need to know if you are making it for sure and if you are bringing someone.

maybe you might want to post on www.flrx8club.net, there are lots of members in tampa that go to that site. It died down alot lately but you can always try to add to the roster. I have texted a couple old members to see if they want to come. If they do, I would not worry about adding them to the table.

International Mall, at a place called Bar Louie. It is located at the far North West corner of the Mall. We will have a table reserved under RX8club. Here is a link to the place.

http://www.restaurants-america.com/barlouie/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewLocation&locID=17

If you want you can have your car valet right out in front. But I suggested that we park in the park garage underneath the bar.

If you are out in front where the valet attendant is you go north toward the stop sign. Make a right go about 100 ft make a another right into the parking area. Then turn right one more time before the security booth and the parking will be straight ahead.

We are going to do it again. We are thinking Aug 8th, which makes it one month away from the last one.

We already had a suggestion for Quaker Steak and Lube for the next meeting.

I would like to suggest and afternoon meeting so we can get some shots of the cars during the day. But if there is another place please suggest it as soon as possible so we can ensure a bigger turn out.

If we go during the evening we will have to do it Friday or Sunday. Saturday evenings is bike night and all otherr casr clubs litter the parking lot. Finding a spot where we can all park together will be rather hard unless we commit to getting there early enough. Whatever the consensus that day is I will be there.

its just you.... if you eat more greens your vision gets better.... i.e. salad

You mean carrots for vision. The salad keeps you regular!

By the way Kris and I voted and the next meet you better have a burger, steak or something like that. If not we are going to have to keep your man card that you lost with that salad you ate.

Dark it can be done solo. Just put something on the ground to place the bumper on when you are done loosing the bolts. I took mine off in about 10 minutes.

An extra set of hands would reduce the chance that you scratch something. But I did it myself in under 10 minutes. :)

front bumper is a solo job, but you have to be careful with the sidemarker lights as it can sometimes "stick' as you're moving them around.

Also be careful with the actual fog light itself during installation. I bumped it and it was not useable. Also hook them up prior to installing the bumper again and make sure they work. I put mine back on and then found out. They are a pain if not careful.
