yo!

this is thanh with the blue 8. I'm diggin the 8 representation at the rotary meet... let's keep it up!


jorge: dang, you're one lucky kid to have an 8. lemme know when you find that exhaust of your dreams
steve: nice to find another old guy to share my thoughts with.
OMD: so thats you in the flat black 8? looks good man, you pull it off well with the sub-zero rims.
jose (i think?): with the yellow 8. damn, i hope you get your tranny fixed, what was wrong with it again? i asked if it was slipping but i forgot if you confirmed it.


i can't make the next coming meet b/c of work but I'm glad Houston has this club... i can tell its a pretty darn good group of guys who know them rotaries.

Hello

Recently picked up an '07 RX-8, and just wanted to say hello to the rest of the Houston area folks. I live out in the Sugar Land area, and would be willing to help out with mod installs and other DIY work (as my limited time permits).

I'd love to meet some of you guys the next time you all get together.

It was a great turnout for the meet. It was nice meeting other RX-8 owners. It's been a while since I have been to this meets. inTEGrate89, nothing is wrong with my tranny. I just have to replace it if I get the greedy turbo kit. I'm looking forward to the next meet!

Looks like I missed a great gathering. Accepted a new and better job three weeks ago and I am stuck on nights for awhile, probably till June or so. But just as soon as I can, I will be at these awesome gatherings..............

Thank you. I actually had the taillights and side markers smoked out by a body shop that is no longer in Houston. The headlights I had them tinted with actual film tint. But my friend, Abraham , at Erace Performance can help you out. He smokes out taillights and headlights. He does really good work. You can reach him at 713-861-7619. Thanks .
inTEGrate89, I totally forgot you wanted to hear my Greddy exhaust. My bad. Next time.
O-M-D, your car looks very nice in that paint job. It was good seeing you again. Don't worry, my Eclipse Spyder will soon be on the road again!
