View Full Version : St. Louis - Spotted 8 Zone
Sparks91188 05-01-2009, 02:23 AM Well I will be out of town in Chicago the 7-10th of May, but after that I will be home. Also I have one of those fancy Seibon TS Dry carbon fiber hoods that is suppose to get here later today. I am so excited for it. They are crazy expensive, but I got a wicked deal on it. We just need to figure out where would be the most central location for everyone and what would be the best time (idk about anyone else but I work like 40 hours).
RyansRx8 05-01-2009, 11:44 AM Yeah I work full time too but im off sundays and mondays...I'm guessing the majority of ppl are off sunday? Might be a good day to do it on
perks11 05-02-2009, 04:52 PM ^^^ha ha you guys gotta work full time. thats why i love bein a college student! and i know how you feel sparks, my wheels dont get here until tommorow, and im goin cray cause i have to go back to school and cant get them put on until next weekend
perks11 05-02-2009, 04:52 PM o and forgot to say as long as its on a weekend and im home, im down for a meet where ever
Sparks91188 05-03-2009, 03:04 AM Actually I am a full time college student (15 hours) as well. I only work those hours to buy nice things and make bank even if it is only min (7.75 p/h) I say not to bad for a 20 year old lol. Anyways Sundays are good I just need two weeks notice to have one off since I work weekends. I will say I won't be able to meet up until June since I will be on vacation this week, which takes up a Sunday off.
Howwls8 05-03-2009, 03:08 PM I saw a clean black RX-8 with vanity plate "HOWWL" spotted on 270E getting off @ N Florissant. Unfortunately I was in a rental. :( Nice ride! :wavey:
Sorry it took from April 16th to see this, but that was me; sounds like I was on my way to work at Dobbs up on Lindbergh. Thanks for the compliment!
perks11 05-03-2009, 07:16 PM sparks i understand, just givin ya a hard time. i work but not near enough hours to be considered full time and i work in the athletic department so im not really sure that counts as work...lol
Sparks91188 05-05-2009, 07:06 PM hood is in and installed. I just gave her a bath today.

mybluezoom 05-10-2009, 09:50 PM The hood looks awesome sparks. I think if it is a weekend thing most people would be able to make it.

DjarumBlk 05-31-2009, 07:04 AM I'm one of the black RX8's up in North County. Just thought I would pop in and say hi! I've seen a few around up there, too. :)
RyansRx8 05-31-2009, 11:35 AM Right on I live in hazelwood/florissant right off lindbergh...I saw a black rx8 yesterday i believe with black rims and no wing i think looked pretty cool was it you?
maskedferret 05-31-2009, 12:27 PM I used to live in south county but now I live in north county just off of 270 and W Florissant. I've seen a couple black 8s here and there on the highway.
I am currently @ my parents' place in St. Peters and spotted a yellow 8 with vanity plate "WOWMOM" off K @ Penn Station.
RyansRx8 05-31-2009, 02:25 PM I haven't seen any white 8's around here love the color though

maskedferret 09-01-2009, 12:50 AM I caught up with a Black(?) RX-8 w/ Illinois license plates heading home tonight on 270E around Florissant. I got a little too happy on the accelerator :D Sorry, just never had a chance to play with another 8 on an open road before. Hai2u!
baseballgenius80 09-28-2009, 12:13 AM Saw a yellow/black 8 at Busch Stadium

Elephant Rocks ... I saw that you tried to PM me but my box was full, so I just cleaned out some space.
RyansRx8 10-09-2009, 03:04 AM Yellow 8 going north on Lindbergh today around 12:30 seemed to be stock anybody?
Sparks91188 10-09-2009, 03:07 AM I love Elephant Rocks such a great place.
Cissell 10-10-2009, 09:31 PM Saw a nice Black 8 up at Baxters in IL. Nice Mazda on the windshield.
Not many 8's on this side of the river, nice to see an other one.

RyansRx8 10-12-2009, 11:59 PM K saw a shit ton of 8's today I remember like 2 though...a black one going north on lindbergh around 345-4pm then I saw ANOTHER black one on Mckelvey in Maryland Heights around 830pm but I just flew by you so it would notice the beastly 1.3L beneath since they were driving like a grandma with a shopping cart...both seemed very stock indeed :(
Sparks91188 10-13-2009, 02:49 AM Drove behind a black 8 on 159 head towards 270 last night. Then today saw an 09 red 8 parked outside my work around 4ish I think. I didn't see the driver.
maskedferret 02-02-2010, 12:03 AM Black RX-8 caught up to me getting onto N270 from Olive tonight around 2330. Seems he wanted to play. :D: Sorry, I just got out of work and really just wanted to get home.

spdspappy 02-03-2010, 07:51 PM Sparks: I think I've seen you on base before, right? I don't normally drive my 8... It sits in the garage, but I am going to order another car seat so I can start driving it when it gets warmer.

baseballgenius80 03-23-2010, 02:06 PM I won't be spotted for a week or so. Got decommissioned by a nice chunk of concrete dropped in the middle of the road on 64/40 by some Semi. The 8 is currently at the body shop getting a new front air dam and new rear bumper cover.
Also, anyone know some who could lay down a bead weld? Body shop pointed out that my dual exhaust pipe is cracked at the point where the pipe splits off to the two mufflers. Just need a little patch laid down.
Suggestions in the STL area?
Twiztid 03-23-2010, 07:15 PM ouch i hit a tire once and it screwed my mustang up pretty bad.
DukeDerox 03-26-2010, 06:14 PM So my motorbike didn't have enough gas to get to the nearest station. I went to walmart to get one of them red gas container thingys. Went back to my car and it wouldn't unlock. I was all "WTF MATE?" Then I looked to my right and there was my RX8 in the other row...

baseballgenius80 03-30-2010, 10:10 AM Got the 8 back, all fixed and looking better than ever. Soon to be spotted again......
