For the statewide event, where it is being held is roughly 460 miles from el paso. Straight shot on I-10. so at least 1k miles for the trip.

That being said. There are going to be a lot of 8's from many areas showing up. And hopefully we can get 4 EP 8's to show. with 4 people in a room it is pretty cheap. Check out the thread https://www.rx8club.com/texas8-171/%2A%2A2009-rx8-texas-statewide-event%2A%2A-168225/.

All details are there. it is awhile away but if any of us plan to go we need to know who is going ASAP so we can make reservations at the hotel.

 

That state wide event looks like it's going to be one awesome meet =D Sorry
guys, I'd love to go with you all with my RX-8 but sadly I'm too young to go, my parents wouldn't let me

<-------Bad part about being 19 years old =P

But i definately encourage everyone else in EP to go. If i could, i would, so
don't miss the opportunity if you can go. The rest of us would love to know how it went ;D

 

I am down to go I just need to see if I can get the days off from work.

 

Well i dont know bout the state wide meet but im down for another local meet....the only problem is that i dont get out from school till 10pm....what do you guys say bout heading over to the cruise night on Wednesday?

 

I'm down with that.

 

definately down with that, time and place, TIME AND PLACE!!! (=

 

Whats happening fellas?.... I'm effin bored... Start planning already... about another meet up. Are you guys gonna be there tomorrow night at TC? or... on friday night like last time?! FYI, On friday according to the weather forecast its going to rain so what do you guys think about meeting up tomorrow night 9-10?

 

taco cabana tomorrow night sounds good but i wont get out of shcool till 10 i can meet you guys there no later than 10:15

 

10-10:15ish looks like a good time to meet tomorrow night. Who all are down for this?

 

Thats really late but im down.

 

ok Im gonna be there at 10pm tomorrow night!

 

so 10 at Taco Cabana on Lee Trevino Wednesday Night Confirmed. Hopefully the civic dudes will be long gone by then hahahahaha

 

yo dude I set up the meet for 10pm jus so you can make it to the meet you down to right?

 

The meet today is rescheduled to 9 tonight. Behind TC. That's the timing most people prefer so there it is 9pm! See you fellas over there (in like 1 hour or so!)

 

Okay guys, i need some input. What color should I powdercoat my stock wheels?

I can't decide between gloss black, or gunmetal/gray metallic?

 

i would go with gloss black...love the way black on black looks

 

Hey guys... when are we going to be doing the fog light wire tap procedure? Doesn't it have to be during the day? not when its dark. I'm thinking about getting HID fog lights. Can anyone recommend me where I can get those for my 8?

 

Yea , sometime during the day

 

I'm soo confused!! I think the gloss black would look awesome during the day, but you wont even be able to see them at night. Plus, I think I would miss the stock silver. I still need to tinker

 

I'm good to meet up probably after 3 or 4 on tuesday. Anyone else?

 

3pm on Tuesday I'm down. My question hasn't been answered yet are there any HID xenon fog lights for the 8? cuz I can only find halogen based bulbs.

 

^^ yeah dude, the fogs are h11s so all you would need to do is find an h11 HID kit.

Once you find that, make sure you get a matching relay harness. This connects the the ballasts for the bulbs directly to the battery so that you don't risk frying the stock wires. The relay harnesses are cheap anyway, so its not a biggie.

Is this the kind man? If not can you find me the xenon fog lights... I'm kind of confused with the title of the product ,they show different HID models such as "H1, H4, H7, 9006, 9007" I'm not to sure if that kit is the right one for my car and can you also plz show me where I can get the harness from too.

 

Aj, ebay is the way to go for hids, the reason why it has all of the bulb sizes is cuz whenever you buy the kit you have to choose your bulb size and color tempature....most of the kits on eBay are plug and play so you won't need the relays .... And yeah the fogs are h11's.... I don't have the eBay member name from where I got my last set but I'll get it asap and send it to you ....I got one of my friends a set of slim ballast hid kit for both his headlights and fogs for about $160...so like $80 a pop

 

^^Yeah what he said about the bulb type and color temp, you just specify when ordering.

About the relay, it will work without one, but you risk burning your wires in the long run since they are only made to support the current that the stock halogens draw.

The relay connects the ballasts directly to the battery so you eliminate that risk, only using the stock harness as a "switch".

The relay will also just be plug n play with the HID kit that you decide. Just search ebay for h11 relay harness, and they are relatively inexpensive, maybe 15-20 bucks.

Really up to you though man.
