Dude, when you are ready to get some coilovers check out GothamRacing.com. If you find what you need call and ask for the owner Steve Kan. Tell him that you know me and are part of our club and he'll give you a discount.

Is anyone from the Baton Rouge area who drives a white stock rx-8? I saw this guy on I-10 in BR who flicked me off, but i just figured he was jealous because my 8 looked better than his!

Saw Giz this Sunday at church. He asked me, "Was that you on some RX-8 message board?" I don't have an 8, though, I have a 6. Know anybody looking to sell their stock 18s?

I'll check around. I almost got a 6 before I got my 8. If I would have gotten a 6, I would have put stock 8 wheels and lowered it. nice choice.If I spot you, I'll take a pic

I got a recall on mine, so I turned it in to get it taken care of along with some other stuff, and they took care of it in two days.

The recall had something to do with emissions and the powertrain warranty

I'm in Baton Rouge, spend most of my time around LSU.

My check engine light came on a couple weeks ago so Diamond went ahead and did the recall on mine while it was there, ironically enough it was the cat that needed replacing anyhow.

It's back in as of today to get the cat on, they didn't have the part at the time.

Man I've neglected the RX8Club! Sorry all. Marrero, LA here.

Hey Ted, call me for the next meet, not just pm on here. I don't get on much anymore.
And lemme know about SS9, I'm goin'!

surfrgurl, just take your car in for the vac test & take it from there.
Take it to Ducote on the westbank, see Kieth.
My 8 passed!
