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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.
