Still trying to sell this BHR flywheel w/ counterweight.

I know about the colorado mazda forum but it is pretty inactive and I don't want to spam it up just to get enough posts to sell it there.

Jay719

how much you looking to get for it?

It is currently $645 on BHR's website for the flywheel with ACT cw03 counterweight and this is brand new so I'm hoping to get $500 obo. imgur: the simple image sharer The last two pictures are of the flywheel and counterweight.

Hey everyone. New to the area(Colorado springs) and new to the rx8. Hoping to eventually meet up with some people to hang out or just cruise or go to events.

Anyone know of any good tuning shops for rotaries?

James' Automotive Services

Give them a call and check it out, it's in Longmont

Bishopbydefault

Thanks clad. I'll definitely have to go and check them out.

Hey NoCo, new to these parts - seen a few RX-8 around Fort Collins, but sports cars are few and far between, and nearby tracks practically non-existent. Any meetups going on?

djgiron

I see alot of 8's around, but there are not really any meets that I have seen or heard of.

Colorado seems dead about the rx8. I have a 2004 8. I guess being they aren't made any more since 2011 and the bad rap the rx8 got by poor marketing, coupled with Ford motor company making the rx8 sacrifice lubricity for emmissions well, there you go. Colorado is dead about the rx8.

djgiron

Well, it is not dead, I see them all the time. Just not a community for them here. Plus, it is almost winter, so most will be parked (like mine) for the winter. Maybe next spring we can get a few ppl on here, and the ones we see around, to meet up for a nice mountain drive.

Hey, welcome to Colorado. Like dj said, with the winter here almost all cars are driven semiannually. I autocross my 8 and we have several with us including my brother and his 2004. You can find us at rmsolo.org and members are from Colorado Springs to Boulder and Loveland. Some participation in Time Trials with a couple of great courses, High Plains to the east and Pueblo to the south.

There is a Mazda club, but there isn't much activity there.

Hope to catch up with you sometime at an event,

Mark

Likewise Mark, and I'll check out rmsolo.org. I sure do miss all the awesome tracks back east... But then again CO is paradise in other ways

So, since summer is almost upon us and my 8 is almost ready for it, is anyone planning a cruise or anything?

Roeark

I'm in FTC, I only ever see maybe one or two in the area up here.

Tomorrow is an autocross at Front Range Airport. Check rmsolo.org if interested.

Let go of my 2004 RX8 in 2006 and missed it for 10 years. Just scored at 2010 RX8 Grand Tourning and I'm filled with nostalgia. I never see any down here in Ken Caryl either.

JordanMendoza

Im out of colorado! Canon city Colorado to be specific, I have not seen to many out here either.

reni04

And they are getting fewer and farther between as time goes on. I now have 103,000 miles on my 04 automatic.

spdtckts

Just got a new engine in mine. Hopefully it'll be running around the springs soon.

reni04

Got to ask what happened to your engine and how many miles were on it and did you pre-mix or not?. I have premixed my engine from new and i use fully synthetic oil in the engine since new. Just wondering .

So, Colorado meet? I'm waiting on emissions and a shock and I'll be registered.

spdtckts

the car had 101k. I had personally put 20 miles on it lol...drove it to work one day after buying it registering it and changing plugs wires and oils. I go out for lunch and I hear a loud pop see a bunch of white smoke. Eventually get it home and start trying to figure out wtf happened. I pull the cat and about a half gallon of coolant comes out. I bought it as a project / autox car. Bennet racing hooked me up with a new pack.

While replacing the engine I also did the sohn adapter (super easy) trying to over come the start and die issue right now.

reni04

Are you experiencing the start and die issues with the new engine?. I am amazed my original cat is still working on my 8 with 103,000 and premixing all the way ?. There is enough info on this site to probably figure it out. Best of luck to you sir.
