Ok so I am a new rx8 living in toledo oh, was wondering if any other rx8 owners living in the general toledo ohio area?

i live in walbridge and keep my car in perrysburg

Holler!

Toledo isn't so far from me.

Lets all be best friends then !lol

lol "holler"... where u at chad? and where do u live ambulance? me n bumblebee r looking to maybe make a river road ride in the near future.

I live like an hour away across the lake / windsor.

oh lol, i mean that isnt the far but thts still a hike and u kinda have to cross the border! u listen to 89x?

yeah i hear you guys are going to put the clutch reinforcement on.
Im in Toledo.
what id like to do is get a gang to go to Put In Bay. That would be hilarious to fill a boat full of rx8s

Yeah man, I ;ive 2 mins from the tunnel and I cross over about once a week. 89x is great in the morning. I usually listen to 97.1 sports talk when I'm working though.
I've been driving to ohio quite a bit lately to get parts for my car. Toledo is always "the beginning" of the drive.
Ever come to windsor? (when you were 19 to drink only half counts )

I'm getting my clutch reinforcement soon!

i have a friend who family owns property up in canada so between passing through and gambling i can say ive been through enough times lol

lol, ya we were planning on doin the clutch bracket this weekend if the weather permits. 89x is the only windsor radio statio that transmits strong enuf to get down here and it transmits out of detroit too so im sure that helps but ya i listen to dave n chuck when ever im in the car at that hour. im 22 so i can drink here lol. put in bay sound like it could be fun, i might be up for that.

woot woot. we should all plan to head to the rx7 store in july as well. might be a fun trip

in columbus?

yessir

I'm thinking of rx7store in Columbus. I would like to get my car dyno'd for shits'n'giggles.

i dont need a dyno myself but id sure like to meet everyone and drink until i cant feel feelings

lol, well the weather needs to cooperate before we can do anything... hopefully things start clearing up soon, i know next weekend is going to be just as depressing as this one.

Did you get your clutch brackets installed?
I just got mine in the mail.

we've had them for a while but the weather hasnt been cooperating so we havent put them in yet...

wish i wouldve gotten in on that group buy

let me know when you guys are going to install them, maybe I can come and join the fun.

wish i wouldve gotten in on that group buy

just post up on the group buy asking if u can still get in... u might get lucky especially if people who added their names havent paid up yet! it wont hurt to ask!

let me know when you guys are going to install them, maybe I can come and join the fun.

well it will be the first weekend the weather plays nice. this saturday is looking like a maybe since theres a chance of thunderstorms so we wont know till friday pretty much but ill post up when we know for sure.

hey all Chad D yur car modded much. it always seem to be a before and after with everyone elses cars

we r probably doing them tomorrow afternoon... its looking like a little after 3pm so if u wanna stop by

the guy at autozone said "nice car" to me which turned into a short conversation. he told me someone had come in earlier with an rx8 and said "i wonder what these triangles are for on the front and the back"

on another note. right next to autzone on central i always see a blue rx8. is this anyone?

its either baghli (Al) if its a MT which i think it is, or my old bosses girlfriend she had a AT

Today, we'll see how work goes and I'll call if I can. My car is not very modded. I have a complete ap exhaust, rims, I have coilovers but they are not in the car b/c I sent the front two to get repacked/I have stock ride height and it's driving me crazy!. My next thing I'm saving up for is a cobb from mazdamaniac.

If you mean autozone on REYNOLDS then yes that is me! The autozone on central is the new one next to chipotle but i think ur getting the 2 mixed up. I live in the apartment complex right next to autozone lol...

whoops. i meant Reynolds lol. i saw you pulling out as i was pulling out of autozone. i had to get a new bulb because my brake light wasn't working. my running lights would come on but it would never get brighter when pressing on the brakes. funny enough i changed the bulb and all is well.

lol, well ill tell u what man... installing the clutch bracket will not be as easy as fixing the bulb!! i never want to do it again lol

did you guys end up doing the Clutch B. install? How was it? I ended up in the middle of bfnowhere with a blown transmission in my p.o.s. Morgan Olson work truck.
"the road you're on isn't on our gps" -towtruck driver-
no one knows how to read a map of follow instructions anymore. I ended up having a 15 hour work day. at least it was gorgeous out, and I had a big jug of lemonade.

haha sucks man... ya at least it was nice out. ya we got it done... barely though lol... it sucked! have fun with it!!

How long did it take you guys? I'm going to do it next w/end, hopefully it's nice out.

it took about 3 hours for 2 and a lot of cuts because the is not a rounded edge on the pedal or bracket.. we had to open up a few hole to get everything to line up. skip step one, then put the outside bracket on with the long bolt and drill through that it will help you line up better. but its not quite as easy a perdicted though i may have f'd myself thinking that way. i dont even know the improvements yet because i havent driven the car. al said it took the slop on the pedal away

great thanks for the tip.

what mods do you have chad

My car is not very modded. I have a complete ap exhaust, rims, I have coilovers but they are not in the car b/c I sent the front two to get repacked/I have stock ride height and it's driving me crazy!. My next thing I'm saving up for is a cobb from mazdamaniac.
I also have RC 750cc injectors, ms short shifter, a nice greddy shifter knob, 10inch L5 solo and some ---puddle lights, JIC majic coilovers and front strut bar and clutch bracket (that i haven't installed yet). I'm starting to get the fever.

lol idk how i missed your other post. yeah its a fever for sure. ive just been deciding what route i want to go. Im starting to figure it out though

I ordered my BHR kit a little over a week ago (woot woot). i think theyll end up getting to my house while im on NC on vacation though. at least ill get to come home to upgraded ignition!

word! I have new coils and plugs sitting in boxes, gonna install after a seafoam blast.
I wish I would have gotten the BHR coils though.

yeah i got one a few months ago with my after tax mods i have nothing bad to say about them or the service from charles. I bought mine used he added the missing parts and rebuild my plug wires for cost of shipping

just fyi, if you guys got some water/condensation in your tail lights, i bought a tube of silicon that says it wont come back. Id be more than happy to fix it up for yuh since i have pretty much an entire tube left.

where do u apply the silicone?

I'm pretty sure you put it where the gasket is.
I am 99% going to the rx7store meet in July, I took th whole weekend off, so if any of you guys are going maybe we could caravan. I don't know anyone else that's going from Windsor/Detroit.

i may be up for it im just waiting on a few parts that are due in sometime between now and then

ya, count me 75% in lol... i wont know for sure until closer to the date.

does the rx7store even have a set date? at first it was a Wednesday but they moved it to a Saturday i think?

or if i get asked to work we will see when it get closer if anyone can come up with dates

lol ya. we kinda need to know the exact date... i get my work schedule on a biweekly basis and class is a big factor. what week in june are they figuring?

I thought it was the saturday. I don't really care, i'll take it off.

sat what date? i have weekends off and i can request any day off as long as its m/w/f but tuesday and thursday i have class

I don't know, I heard the 17th but prob someone just talking smack. Anywho........I don't wan't to enhance this mythical date if no date has been set. I'm going, just have to keep my eyes open in the future to see what the posted day is. I wan't to go the day before and maybe get my car tuned. I have new injectors and fire is blazing out the exhaust all the time, the bumper is getting burned up the back. I can notice it in the paint.

well keep us updated. i would really like to go.

I knew I read it somewhere/ thanks.

post seems pretty dead sadly.... i hope it goes through, i would love to dyno mine for that price! if its on a weekend then im in 100% and if its on a m/w/f then ill b in assuming work lets me off.

Hopefully my hopes are not shot down. I've never been to Columbus.

lol, well id be up for a road trip regardless but ya it would be nice to get that dyno price.

Dudes. I'm headin' to Toronto in July to get a tune via MazdaManiac. Under 100$. Here's the link.
http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=195294
If any of you want to go you can touch base at my house in Windsor, than to Tdot

i may concider that i need a tune. Im all modded up(two things to go till turbo) and cant run anything to the full potential. I have a fourm member that is willing to run me throught the tuning process so we will see. Also ill pry have to get a damn passport

Thanks for the heads up, i dont think ill make it though. I dont have much to tune lol.

Also ill pry have to get a damn passport
Unless you have a Native Status or a military card you need a passport. Canada has "enhanced license" but not sure 'bout U.S. Just get one, it is worth it to have.

Yeah the us has the licence thing but Windsor and me =s trouble. We missed all the good events at putinbay until Halloween I think

You would only have to be in Windsor for 30 mins. Then we drive Northeast for 3 hrs, I have a couple friends in Toronto, so we could have a place to go. It's like the same distance as columbus, so I doing this one. I'm gonna go check out a hockey game in Columbus in the winter so I don't need to check it out that bad. I am familiar with To b/c I used to DJ there all the time.

kmart has some car wipes on clearance for 2 dollars with a picture of a red rx8 on the front. i bought one for the novelty.

radio shack has remote control rx8s on clearance..have one of those too .... lol

before i put it on the official buy sell section, i figured i might as well ask if any of you guys would be interested in a rx7store straight pipe.

You guys ever watch the mudhens? Hows the facility? I'd like to change it up and watch some aaa ball.

thank you for offering the mid pipe but i do have one. I might even have to sell mine to make a 4 inch one when i go turbo. Chad the mudhen stadium is very nice espically for triple a ball. people i am working with now help build the place. i do not remember ticket prices but all the seats are very nice. ive been behind home, in the outfield picnic area, in the suites, and up the third or first base line.

i love baseball so excuse my bias but...yes, get into the mudhens. When i was younger i would sneak into ned skeldon stadium and watch damn near every game. Its even more entertaining to watch if you're a tigers fan.

on a side note, my midpipe is an official mud hens midpipe... so buy it.. ill give you a muddy of a deal...

I used to go to the old stadium with my grandfather all the time. I'm gonna look-up their schedule.
...sorry , I already have a ap dual-res mid-pipe.

any of you guys going to the Hydroplane race on the D river on the weekend?

anyone work at the sprint on airport/ reynolds

anyone new in the toledo area?

Not new, been around awhile, just don't really post.


I did see a black 8 earlier in the week, at Secor near the Home Depot. Not sure if it was anyone here or not.

only one 8 owner that i know of on here besides me and my old bosses girlfriend has one just dont think he gets on the fourm.

does anyone here own or know the owner of a stock lighting yellow. I seen one the other day over by owens and kind of shed a tear about another one around in yellow.

I had to sell my car, but for happy reasons ! Anyway, I have that mid pipe still along with other random stuff that I'll sell for cheap. I also have 6 quarts of idemitsu oil, plastic engine cover, plugs, coils , wire set with 20k on them, and a stock cat back.

do the plugs also have 20k on them if not I'd be interested in the trailings. also which midpipe do you still have I may take that off your hand. maybe the oil too.

What was the happy reason for selling your car?

maybe he picked up a supra or a vette, not too many things I would define as a happy reason.

i have the agency power dual resonated 3 inch pipe. the plugs have 20k miles on them as well. PM offers on whatever you guys want
