takahashi
04-10-2005, 06:58 AM
I love to go... Willie I will nice to see your coilover. Did you have the Tein Felx? I need to see if it is stiff enough for track.

So far Jazzy, me, Krazie, and you. For people that are thinking of turning up. I am giving away the RX-8 workshop book (the blue one you see on the web) on the CD.

BTW Is the function pre or post dinner. Should we have a full tummy before the meet???

I will probably be free to go as well. Taka are you guys meeting before and then driving to the lonley planet or just all meeting there?

takahashi
04-10-2005, 08:03 AM
For the CD LOL

Danielle coming as well?

Taka are you guys meeting before...

Well that is why I am asking if people will eat beforehand.... :p
We can eat somewhere in Dockland/Port Melbourne beforehand. I am up for a light dinner. I am not keen for a feast. I ate too much this weekend :p

ILIV48
04-10-2005, 08:11 AM
Yeah... Danielle will be with me. A light meal down there at the docklands/Port Melbourne sounds good.

Sounds like you have over indulged this weekend too. Been working hard the last 5 months to lose 20kg so far but this weekend I have been really bad. I will be spending xtra time on the treadmill & bike this week!

04-10-2005, 09:16 PM

takahashi
04-10-2005, 09:40 PM
So you have your spring done. or spring and shock combo (aka coilover/suspension)?

I love to sit in your car.

EmperorJazzy
04-11-2005, 01:08 AM

Looking forward to seeing y'all there....

takahashi
04-11-2005, 01:23 AM
Gee I should bring my wife too. Otherwise, I feel left out LOL

OK at least we have 3 couples. She likes the rotary and we will have time out without babies. I will ask her tonite. Wish me luck.

I am going to see a few of you tomorrow....

I have prepared a DVD full of goodies for the meet.

In the DVD of data. It includes:

1. Mazda US DVD update. Need computer that has DVD player and sofeware program like InterVideo WinDVD to play. I can make normal DVD if you like me to.

2. Mazda RX-8 Manual

3. Taka's private collection of (near complete) RX-8 clips from Japan.

Please let me know if you don't have a DVD drive in your computer and I can burn the first 2 into seperate DVD and CD, so you can play it in your DVD player at home and also the CD ROM drive in your computer.

This CD collection will be distributed to subsequent RX-8 meets. For free as long as I have money to buy the blank DVD :p

I also have the tech highlight CD too (which is a year old)

Just returned from a great cruise. Thanks to all the organisers a great mix of mazda cars from rx3 to 8 and a good range of all the cars in between. Four RX8s turned up and with the fog on the way it was lucky Taka had his "euro spec" rear fog light to lessen the risk of being rear ended.
Gary (xatnep) :D

04-16-2005, 05:55 PM
Shit I did not check my mail before I go... sorry Jezza.

PM me with your address, I will send one in your mail.

That was good fun, thanks michelin man organising this. We want pictures.

04-16-2005, 07:50 PM
Yeah was a fun drive and learnt some new roads to go have gun on.

Enjoyable until just before home, when my CD player started to malfunction again (already replaced once). It just starts not wanting to read CD's by skipping to a different track every couple seconds then after doing this for a while will just eject the CD - no matter what CD not just the same one. If I turn it off and then back on it will work for a little while and then start doing it again. It also started getting a pretty loud metalic rattle from the the area of the CD/radio which sort of sounded like a cricket (insect variety) that if I put my hand on the unit and apply some pressure the noise would stop. Remove the hand & it would start again.

Arghhhhhh!.... how many times am I going to have to go to Mazda to have this car looked at. Very frustrating and sort of ruined the night. This car doe's it seems at times want me to trade it on something as it just keeps having new problems. Get one fixed then a couple weeks later a new issue. This will be the 8th time the car is going back for a problem to be rectified in my 6months of ownership. A fantastic first Mazda experience!

OK vent over, until I contact Mazda Monday :mad: :mad: :mad:

takahashi
04-16-2005, 08:14 PM
The only disappointment of the drive is not able to open up as much as I want because of the police!

Well and the green RX-3 too!

Not to mention the blue car in front of me :p

EmperorJazzy
04-16-2005, 08:48 PM
Hey Guys,

Sorry I missed last night. I did cruise down to Williamstown incase you'd headed down there. Only came across 1 RX8 (silver, gun metal) going down Melbourne Rd. IF that was anyone from here, they may be disappointed later this week. There was a speed camera on the side of the road, and it looked like he got pinned with an almighty FLASH!

Anyway, as Taka mentioned, last night, there were too many police around. I had a fang around albert park lake, and then cruised home.

Love to see some pictures gents.....

ILIV48
04-16-2005, 09:08 PM
Not to mention the blue car in front of me :p

Well what about that huge DICK that was following me all night. Every time I looked in the mirror there the penis was. Taka do you have no shame. :D :D

In case any of you are wondering Taka had a little extension surgery yesterday in hopes of aiding his performance :p
