Hey got my 8 on tuesday and put around 40 miles and burned a quarter of a tank. Just wanted to say hey to all you kcers out there. Representing from o-town (olathe)

Welcome aboard. You're not the only one in Olathe. Though I've had mine for over 3 years now.

From time to time, others will get together for a bar-b-que, or a social event at some local resturant. Just keep an eye out.

sounds good thanks for the info! what is the stats on your car? red 04? i used to work at sherwin williams and there was a badass looking red 8 w/ a mazda speed spoiler i believe outside a shop on the road just south of 135th

Welcom to the forum, you picked the best color lol. Black rx8 in lenexa.

SHOWOFF

Welcome. If you see a Titanium Gray around 151st in Olathe with a full Auto Exe kit that's me or my wife.

OlatheRX8

My car is a basic red 04. I didn't get all the extras. I've only put in a cool air intake unit.

There are others who have "cooled" up their cars with the extras. And they do look sharp.

finally took some pix sorry for the quality taken by my phone www.liquidstudioswebdesign.com/pics

I have a black one in Lenexa. I've only seen 1 more out here and it was on 435 and 87th.

rotaryfan04

Mertrix didn't we meet at QT on 95th street one night?

Mertrix

Rotary I go up there a lot, but I don't remember talkin to anybody regarding the 8.

frollo

it could have been me around 435 and 87th or so because thursday nights are volleyball at 435 and midland at the dome anyway consult the pics if it looked like that one then it was probably me

on a side note do you guys know if you can remove the stupid plastic thingy w/o leaving holes?

Mertrix

we should all meet up some night for a drink or summin. It's always good to meet peeps with similar good taste

I remember the owner saying he had a custom exhaust if that helps, as for the getting together part pick a time and place I'm in.

I assume you're not talking about Mark (Tirminyl) who has the Mazdaspeed cat-back, correct? His is also black.

BTW, I own a red '04 GT and live in Olathe. Mine has window tint, clear JDM front corners, and some lame-*** 17" Motegi wheels with some all-seasons (winter mode) but outside of that it's stock and will probably stay that way outside of some lowering springs maybe. Don't see much of a reason to modify this car since it doesn't seem to do much. lol

Apparantly I live by this guy. haha

I see at least one or two modified RX-8's in our area each week, Showoff. Do you know of a gray one that's lowered on stock wheels with a funky carbon fiber hood? I see it all the time. That and a black one with the full Mazdaspeed body kit and a set of staggered wheels.

rotaryfan04

When did mark get an exhaust? He had stock at the last meet, but then again I haven’t seen him for a while. The gray with the carbon fiber hood might be gameguy he said he was getting a hood. And mine as you can see from the avatar looks stock but looks can be deceiving lol. Any one in for a meet?

frollo

i'm down i need to get some clear corners and find a homie hookup on a set of winter tires and rims might also have to get a smaller wheel set to drift it a bit

rotaryfan04

Anyone else for a meet? also I might be able to help with the wheels, size brand etc.

frollo

i might need some help as well as i want to see about sliding my 8 a bit and i need winter tires so i will probably be looking at some winter tires / rims. So if i am going to do that i may get some undersized rims for sliding rubber .

but the big project i am looking forward to is my car pc i have been wanting to do one for a while now. I was looking at doing one for a few years now in my contour svt and now that i have the 8 it seems a much easier project.

Have any of you done a car pc yet? i know there are several pages on this forum about it though somebody to bounce questions off of is always a better option. I don't see it being a problem though as i build pc's and have done so for years, as well as home theater installs with the occasional car stereo install

rotaryfan04

man KC sure is quiet!!

frollo

yah i know its quite sad however i'm gettn more and more serious about adding my carputer! anyway i just got my car waxed and all that good stuff so i could park it due to the nice weather we were having /roll

rotaryfan04

Have you purchased all the components for the car pc yet? If not there is a forum member in the for sale section selling everything but the screen for 200 bucks I believe. Just FYI

frollo

ooo thanks i havn't bought anything yet

SHOWOFF

Never seen that gray one. I saw that Black Mazdaspeed car again at 151st and Ridgeview driving in the snow again. I can't even get down my street on these BFG's.

frollo

i have a black one though not mazdaspeed and i can't do anything in the snow!! i am still on the stock tires though. Let me tell you everybody that talks to me about my car says it is basically everything but the tires thats the problem. That is horse crap those tires are worthless in the snow.
