New Spoiler
Bummer about the car show. If it's on Sunday I wont be able to go. I gotta work. Just added a GTO spoiler to my 8. It really flows with the cars lines. Now I gotta start with the performance mods and a set of classy rims. Here is a pic of how it looks.

Colorado Logo
Thanks Airstriker. The GTO spoiler sits lower than the stock one. I can see fine out the back with it.
I'm posting a little logo I did in my idle hours tell me what ya think and if anyone wants to use it just copy and paste or save as. Free domain usage for anyone in COLORADO. If you want a higher resolution one email me at ZoomBob@comcast.net
I'm looking into some upcoming car shows. I'll post them when I can.

If you guys head over to CMZC.NET (Colorado Mazda Club) we usually have most of the Big Carshows posted. Could always use more RX-8s and rotatry's over there. We have weekly meets also @ the Sonic on Green Mountain.

Nice Bob...looks good. People were meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings on Academy for a while army but i dont know where the meets are now. You can also hang out at the shell station on the weekends....but its kind of sketch. Im hoping to find a few people to go on a nice cruise one of these weekends. If anyone is interested let me know.

if you are coming to colorado springs (ft carson) there is a bi weekly meet that changes periodically.
We have a few RX8s on carson, I am the only winning blue one that I have seen though. See you around and Welcome!

you guys need to hit the racetracks more often. i've only ever seen one other RX8 on the track. And I'm not talking about autocrossing or drag racing. Sad really. The RX8 just BEGS to be caned and it is really fantastic at chasing down fast, nose heavy cars. I mean 4/24 was just a BEAUTIFUL day to be at the track, and the eye candy their rivals any car club day.
(did I taunt you guys enough? Now I wait for someone to tell me that I need to man up and get into wheel to wheel racing:P).

You'll have fun. I'm not a big fan of autocrossing, partly because I have a hard time with memorization without constant repetition, and mainly because I suck. Oh, be sure to bring TONS of a water, and perhaps a camping/lawn chair.

Hey all,
I just got my RX8 today. Actually picking it up Monday.....
It's a 2008 silver sport model (the price was good)
Car looks nice and drives like new. I already want to start modding it but I have to wait for my first project to be done (383 powered 3rd gen RX7). Once I am done with that, I plan gradual (due to money of course) power mods. I will start educating myself on the forced induction options. I'll check out the events section and will surely meet some of you soon. Just wanted to share my excitement.

Dealer Warranty
Sigfrid, Congratulations! You will love it. Be Careful on mods. Most Engine mods Void the 100,000 mile power train warranty. I think your safe with air intake and catback but under pulleys, headers, turbos etc wil definately void the warranty.

newbie
Thanks for the feedback Zoombob. I guess I will focus on a cat back a K&N filter and some sort of tuning to start with. If I keep the 7, I will not mod the 8 much. If I sell the 7, I will not care about the warranty and go crazy.... Talk to you later,
Sigfrid

I would just join the BMW Club. They are very professional and their instruction is outstanding. Their safety record is impeccable.

They'll have a trackday coming up in Pueblo. Also, Pikes Peak recently opened too. google Rocky Mountain NASA for more information. They are a very good motorsport club. I
