New rx-8 owner here, I live around the New Orleans area, Gretna to be exact. Any meetings?? Any Parts for sale?? Lmk just send me a pm or email..

 

^ I'm in the NOLA area as well, Kenner for me. Would be sweet to meet some more 8 owners around here.

 

Benny, what year is your 8? Sad Panda, how's the 2004 GT holding up? I Just traded in my 2004 Sport for a 2011 GT.

 

Skwidd, She runs great, but i recently developed a power steering issue. It's been acting crazy, It first would go out when its raining only, a few days ago it spun the wheel all the way to the right then left before going out at a red light. I disconnected it for now. Other than that, no real complaints.

How long ago did u trade in? I saw a black sII passing right in front of Paretti Mazda about 2 months ago. Got some pics of them?

Other than that they have all been sI's.
In fact last night a dark colored 8 passed right by me while I was backing out a friends driveway. They pulled over right after, I rolled by real slow but couldn't even tell if they were looking back. My eye site is pretty shitty. They followed me down the street till I turned.

I really need to change that little saying under my name.... lol

It's a 2004...

 

I had a power steering issue with my 04. The electrical connector went bad, so power steering went out. Your issue sounds really weird. I traded my 04 in and bought the 2011 on 7/6/11 from Ray Brandt.

benny, LOL

 

That's crazy! That's where I bought mines at lol, what color was your 8? The one I got is black...

 

Is your 8 black with tinted windows, blue puddle lights, RB ram air and RB intake, RB radiator and oil cooler screen, and cargo net in the trunk?

 

WTF! lol... That's the one I have... Anything I should know?

 

Yeah...I figured you had mine. If you are interested, I have clear corners and a NIB front mask for it.

I'd take $350.00 for my OEM midpipe, and $50.00 for the OEM ashtray. Cash payment, you must pick up the parts
PM me if you are interested.

 

Bump so we don't fall off of page 1.

 

Really? We fell off of page 1? You guys should be ashamed of yourselves! I guess I'm the only 2011 in town.

 

2006 in Metairie. Enjoying my BHR midpipe, smart key needs fixing, and drifting in Sears' parking lot is going necessitate new tires, LOL.

 

I'm in Metairie almost everyday, got pics of your ride?

 

Check out my facebook page mark B kruse dc. It looks just like yours grey, but no body kit. So far just a BHR midpipe and KLM intake. Coils are next.

How do you like the BHR ignition system?

 

Facebook blocked to only friends, I would add you but you might not like to see the things I post lol.

I'll keep an eye out for ya, I do not currently have the sunroof wind blocker on, other than that you can spot my fogged out passenger tail light from a mile away lol.

 

Hey Mark, if you were in the Rouses parking lot today by causeway and vets around 11:30am I saw you. Lol
