Well, looks like I'll be putting new sparkplugs in this weekend. Current plugs have about 27K miles on them, so I'll be changing plugs and oil on saturday.

I'm down for whatever, but we need to all get out and do something.

UPS confirms the expected arrival date is friday, so I'm working on the car this weekend.

Man, we should see what the local miata peeps are up to. They manage to find fun roads. I think the 8s will do a nice job of hanging, although I know my miata outhandled my 8.

Well i was on 610 earlier heading toward the east, and saw a Gray RX8 with the mazdaspeed wing, 4th brake light, and the chrome mazdaspeed emblem *the one u buy on ebay*. Anyone know him?

We tried to get him to look over so we could ask if he was on the forum but he wouldn't look, even when i honked. *I was in the work truck BTW*

No idea.

Plugs came in today. Hopefully the weather holds up tomorrow so I can do oil, plugs, and wash. My car is f'ing filthy.

Oh yeah...search on here for puddle lights. I'm going to get a set.

/edit: Found the thread. I'm ordering some. If anyone else is game, we can have an install party or something like that.

Also, since my 8 is BB, I'm getting blue.

h8ted...you wanna venture to the S Shore to do the install? I saw he put you on the list of ordered.

We need to get Bill on this one. I think he would dig the puddle lights.

I think you need the bypass valve or whatever in case you get water in the intake. I sealed up my RB intake and Bill mentioned that might not have been a good idea because if water gets in, it may go into the engine. Without sealing it, the water should get out through the gap that is normally sealed. Is this making sense?

Zoom verified it as a group buy. I have no clue why they need to do that.

oh u mean the flexible rubber bypass valve is there. i was thinking of something else. hehe

My intake also come with a waterproof screen that goes over the filver. *basically its a sock that goes over it, in which it doesn't let water through it amazingly*

I'm gonna have fun on xmas eve chatting with them about that.
