(W2500 X H1950 pix 500kb )
Last up date : jan. 22. 2009

Although it became late, I was able to make the RX-8 owners map of Australia and New Zealand.
If you found miss about your data, please post up your correct data on this thread.
and you want to add to this map, reply to me.
When I add your name to this map, I need your 8's "color" and your "location".
The map of New Zealand will be added if NZ owner appears.
This map is '2003' RX-8 owners, but including some "2004" owners.
You can see other country owner maps, in my other thread, (RX-8 owners map USA-CAN) on a multimedia section.
Thanks all

Follow the link to the full size one. Perfect!

A classic problem in cartography / mapping is to get the text small enough to fit lots of labels on, but large enough to read comfortably.

simondebbie
03-24-2004, 11:46 PM
Well, the long and the short of it was that the fellow melbournians may remember a flood of sorts that occurred dec last year.

The results at my house was that at some stage during the evening a river of sorts was created right where my 8 was parked. In the morning there was no visible damage etc other than some evidence (such as the fence knocked down) that there had been plenty of water on the property.

Nothing about the car that looked suspicous but...... on turning ignition over two jets of water came out of the exhaust.

To cut a long story short $15k parts quoted to fix, insurance replaced car with new one, and the old car sold at auction flood damaged for, get this, $56k.

Crap experience, but hey, nice new 8 now!

takahashi
03-25-2004, 04:44 PM

Hello. I'm new here.
I bought my RX8 at the end of March, and it's an overwhelming improvement from my RX7. (FC3S Savanna, white)
I'm a NSW Sydney-sider. Titanium Grey. I've got lots of stickers on it, a straight rip from Takahashi Keisuke's from Initial D. You can usually spot my wheels on George St in the CBD.

Has anybody been brave enough to pop open the hood and modify their RX8 themselves?

You were the first RX8 I had ever actually seen on the road, since I got mine. Since then I have also seen a red one with the appearence package, crusing in auckland as well.

Thanks for the welcome, Gomez and Hymee.

Can anyone (perhaps East Moon?) tell me what is happening with the map of Australian RX8 owners? After a couple of weeks of watching, I've reached three conclusions:
1 nothing is happening
2 East Moon intends it to be restricted to 2003 owners
3 East Moon doesn't like anyone else messing with it.

If I haven't got this right, will someone please let me know? I'd also like to know if there is a reason why someone shouldn't start a new map to include all current Australian owners.

Ron

PS Will someone also explain what a "sticky" is, and how it is created?

Hymee
08-19-2004, 11:27 PM
Jellybean,

A "sticky" is what a moderator can do to a thread to keep it at the beginning of a list. It gives it prominence, and helps people find it. People can request me to make things sticky.

I'm thinking of un-sticking this thread if it doesn't get updated. East moon seemed to get pissed off when taka touched it. I should do one, after all I work with digital mapping systems :eek:.

How about you pm East Moon and see if he is planning an update?

(It is often also found after the results of a stiffy, but L&L will need to explain.)

Cheers,
Hymee.

takahashi
08-20-2004, 12:12 AM
"sticky" is created in a thread by Hymee.... I don't want to tell you how he does it :rolleyes:

We can do what we want in the Australian Forum are we.

I am thinking a better map since Australia is so large and most of the name is on the east coast - there must be a way to make it look easier to read.

I've PMed East Moon to try to clarify his position with respect to the Australian Owners Map. It seems to me that it would be of considerable interest to some of us to have an easy method of locating other club members and I'm prepared to support (with hours and effort) any attempt to create and maintain another map though there are obviously better qualified people than I to do the original design. It is probably clear that East Moon's method of labels is already unsustainable as the number of members around cities like Sydney continue to grow. Perhaps coloured circles with an initial (or two) supported by a key -- or individual state maps?

If you are interested, contribute to this discussion so that we get, in the end, something that satisfies as many people as possible. It would be courteous to take into account East Moon's opinions if he replies to questions already asked in this forum, or to me personally.

What do you think, folks?

Welcome guys

Jellybean, I think seperate state is a bit discohesive. I don't want seperate identity of the northern and southern state.

If EastMoon does not mind, we can make the Australian land in a Q version (cartoon style). More wider in the eastern states and limit the land in the central desert. The dot form with initial is good. But it will be best to keep the whole name for something as short as Hymee, or Taka ;)

EAST MOON

The new map is a slight improvement

What if we make the size of the land according to the population... you see NSW is so small and pack with people. NSW and Victoria have half the population of Australia.

If you want to keep the current graphics, I guess you can leave the Australia map on the left and do "zoom in" on the right hand side, as you are doing now.

I have the population of Australia by state for you

EAST MOON

ps: I want to your ctiy data. :rolleyes:

What I need to do using my "offical" skills, is to put up a website with an interactive map, where you can all subscribe and enter you details. The interactive map could display summary stats for each state/colour etc., and allow you to drill down to more details , or zoom in to more detail.

Then I could add a bit where anyone with GPS (and some other geeky bits like an IPaq / smart phone or similar and a SIM card could hook in and have a real-time position updates displayed on the map. :D

Sounds fancy? It is all possible with current technology, after all, that is what I do for a living!

Cheers,
Hymee.

Why are you up so late? I have an excuse or 2....

That is a good idea Hymee. There should be an autolog for the RX-8 spotting and fessing thread too.

Can we do it with mobile phones???

Hymee
10-29-2004, 01:41 PM
Late??? I'm sure there is an oriental proverb for looking at things from a different perspective! Early, my mate, early!

The wireless update of GPS data to a web server is something I have written code to do (successfully, I might add). Do you want me to give away trade secrets? Yes, it did involve a mobile phone, and used GPRS for the data transfer. The data transfer between the GPS/PDA combo was Bluetooth. We have even used some neat Bluetooth GPS devices.

The browser accessible maps with "real-time" updates (i.e moving dots) is real cool.

BTW - I wanted to add some (smart arse) comment regarding your connection with the population stats and your work, but I couldn't figure out something inoffensive. I guess at the end of each day, you and all your mates ring each other up for a tally, then cross a few off the totals, then you ring all you maternity mate and get another daily tally and add some others on?

What would the total daily Births and Deaths figures look like for this country?

Cheers,
Hymee.

My car topped out at 215km/h. Not very impressive, but I think (hope!) it was the heat. The Lambda was pig rich (<.75 - off the scale), so I think the ECU was riching up it up to protect the Cat, hence a substantial loss of power.
