I think your going to get a "NO" on all that :D

 

damn...i was about to ask the same thing.

keep us posted scalliwag. and also about what we talked about a few weeks back with pulling the renesis motor? any ideas on that project yet?

 

I learned yesterday that a co-worker sold his 90 mustang lx convertible with the 5.0 motor to another co-worker for $2500. I was like...dude! I've been telling you that I'm looking for a daily driver.

 

I was wondering how long did your first set up tires last? I am trying to get some custom tires made for my rx-8, but it may be a few months.

 

About 13000 miles, custom tires ?????

 

I think my first set lasted me for 40K miles. Who is making custom tires?

 

yup, I have a friend who owns a tire shop and does high volume business. What I wanted was to get some custom tires with white raised lettering (like racing tires) that said something like "Goodyear" one side and "RENESIS-EXILE" on the other. Something like that. Haven't worked out all the details. Do you think anyone else would be interested? I used to have a Matrix XR and put Goodyear Eagle NASCAR racing tires on it...very sweet!

 

What did you have done on the Matrix that needed those tires?

 

The pilots up here just gave me a callsign: Trixie. Does it suit?

 

I didn't have anything done to it...it just looked rather boring with the original tires, so I thought it would like much better. moding cars is a relatively new experience for me, as i had been quite the poor student for many years until rather recently :o

i'm looking forward to learning quite a bit from the rest of you. Did I mention that I was in love with my RX-8? :p I got busted today checking out my own ride!

 

dazy, who are you flying with? are you with other rx-8 pilots :D

 

Flying with some Air Force pilots during the day, but I have my very own cockpit on the road. She's under renovation right now. :D Maybe I should get a sticker with "Trixie" and put it on my B-pillar like the jets.

 

wow, sounds really cool. what type aircraft are you flying in?

 

In the F-35 JSF simulators. We haven't built it yet, still working on the design.

 

Trixie is a code word for "call girl" with fly boys so I don't think you want that

 

no, i don't. unless they mean it as a compliment--i'm gonig to go ask.

 

Alright, he says he didn't mean it that way, that it just popped in his head and it's more of a nickname type callsign. I like it.

 

dazy, i guess you work at Lockheed-Martin? I met someone the other day who works there as a engineer mechanic type, told me that he had been working on the JSF and others before that. He told me that some F-111 had just been scrapped, and that he had worked on the F-15 Eagle too. The rx-8 is the closest I'll ever come to flying...probably the reason i fell in love with the rx-7 12 years ago.

 

Yes, I do. I could never be a REAL pilot, but the sims and the 8 are just as good. Probably a good thing since flying makes me sleepy.

 

whaddya mean flying makes you sleepy? do you mean commerical planes or fighter jets? I really love all this techno-gee-whiz stuff...i grew watching airwolf, knight rider and macgyver :p

 

Stick with the 8 "Trixie" :D

 

I loved those shows!

 

you could get a vanity plate with TRIXIE - you get six letter after all

 

yeah, i bought the first season of macguyver when it came out...airwolf comes out in may!!!

 

I've never been in a fighter jet, just commercial and I always fall asleep on flights. A Vanity plate is a thought... we'll see.
