do any of you guys go the car meet at a sonic somewhere around downtown? i know some 8s are there cause a buddy told me one spun out when entering the on ramp. but last time i was there i was the only 8 haha

 

is anybody goin to the car shows this weekend? there is the first saturdays one by the imax in front of dicks starts at 730am stage your car between 630 and 730. Then there is one at mr biggs from 10 to 12. Dont have alot of info on that one it would be nice to meet up i am new to the site and area around here.

 

My blasted sun visor broke Friday!! I just picked it up at the dealer this morning. Cost me $238 for a piece of holy plastic. Thanks Mazda. I told the dealer it looks like Mazda did a cost savings here and went all plastic. To try and make me feel better he said they replaced one visior on a Nissan last week and it cost $465. My extended warranty is not in their computer database so that is really helpful. So now I will not use a window shade and the windows will be lowered down some. They were when the visor failed too. Mine is an 04 with 22,000 on it. Going to be in the 90s all thsi week. My car gets to stay in the garage after this expense. Still can't believe this.

 

05 wwp touring, just got it this week!

 

wwp is my favorite color, congrats on your new whip.

 

Hey everyone, new to the site and new to my 8 (04 Silver 6spd MT) in the Springs. Only had for 2 months. Looking to get the BHR ingnition kit by the end of the month or next month. Anyone had to make any compensations due to altitude out here?

 

Hey all I'm new to this site and I'm a new owner of this amazing car! Is there any interest in having a meet up somewhere in the denver metro area then going for a cruise? It would be great to meet some fello enthusiasts! Feel free to hit me up if your interested and ill set the whole thing up

I've been there a few times with my old honda, it was stolen so I haven't been back in a while but I plan on going here sometime soon

 

Not sure how many of you have logged on to Colorado Mazda Club. We definitly would like to see more members over there and more RX-8's.
Seems like everyone is in CO Springs. In Denver I am almost the ONLY 8 that shows up to meets.

Goto CMZC.net and register. Note that ur first 10 posts will need to be approved. This is to monitor and block spam bots and scammers. So if you're posts have not been approved PM me here and I'll let a MOD on the forum know.

 

Just signed up at cmzc. Do you guys have meets pretty regularly?

 

I signed up at the other site (using the same name that I use here). You're right! They need more RX-8 people at CMZC.net. Also, there will be a car meet at the Sonic on N Federal (90th? & Federal) on Saturday--after the car show at The 88 Drive-In Theatre.

 

Just a little over a month until I move down to denver

 

I live in Fort Collins, and just bought a 2009 MT Silver RX-8. It is only a Sport model, but I really like the car and get lots of compliments on it. It had close to 15K on it. Had to pop a few door dings out of it (paintless dent repair). The guy did a great job and the exterior now looks like new, after I used a clay bar and then waxed it. The interior was in good shape except for quite a few scratches. I would have thought it would have been close to new condition, being only a year old. I guess some people just don't take much pride in their cars appearance. A couple of carbon fiber overlays worked well on covering up the scratches on the silver trim pieces on the front sides of the center console. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

 

Congrats on the car! I'm gonna be moving out to Fort Collins in October. I'm curious to see how well this car is going to function in the winter.

 

welcome to the club

 

I realize this topic has been beat to death on other threads, but I feel we are kind of unique being more than 5000 ft. above sea level. Do you guys always use premium? RX-8 owners in other states talk about 91, 93 octane. 89 is the highest I can usually find around here. It seems like I have read in other places that lower octane is okay at high altitude. At least for now, I'm not that concerned about the price difference. Might care more if gas should ever approach $4.00 or more. Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you use 87 with no problems. I would kind of doubt we would have pinging issues at this altitude. Maybe if it was really hot out.

Thanks for any info. you may have.

 

I am 2 days into a 2004 RX8. So there are at least 2 in Colorado now.

 

What color is it?

There can't be more than a handful of RX-8s here in Fort Collins. Haven't seen another one yet. I really like the fact you don't see too many of them.

Have owned mine for about a month now. Have to laugh how all the kids on the playground stare when I drop my daughter off at her elementary school in the morning. "That's your Dad's car?!" is what one boy said to her.

 

LOL, there are a lot more than two!

OMNICRON posted that in 2003 when the RX8 was first released

Congrats on the purchase though! You should check out Coloradomazdaclub dot com as well.

 

Woot! New RX-8 Oweners. Sweet. None of you would be the RX-8s I've been seeing in Denver Lately would you? I've been in my AB RX-8 and seen/driven next to/by several Titanium Grey RX-8's.

Come by and visit CMZC.net. We always welcom new members.

We have a Mazda Mania this Saturday Sept, 18 2010 if anyon is intrested in showing up. It's at Mazda of Lakewood.

 

'What Happens in Vegas' Meet - 2011


Friday and Saturday Rates will be: $85.00 per day and weekday rates at $38.00 per day for those who want to come early or stay late. There is also a room tax of 11% and a Resort fee of $5.00 so those that wish to stay/arrive a day early/late will pay $247.96. There are suites and penthouse suites available at this time with a reduced rate so if you wish to upgrade contact me for pricing. Since the room rate is based upon double occupancy, you have your choice of a king size bed or two queen size beds. I would suggest that you visit their site on line to see the amenities offered.

 

Jimmy I expect you out here for the next meet... Bring others.

 

I'll try and make it out Chun. A drive I've been wanting to do.

 

That drive is hella fun actually. Especially in the canyons up at Glenwoods Springs, they are pure win in our cars. There are a few more sick *** runs in Utah too but you have to go a little slower there. Utah highway patrol can be *****.

Subscribe to the WHIV thread on the community main page and check out what is going to happen. And like I said, bring other CO members. There is a Summit County 8 guy with a full Mazdaspeed set up isn't there? Bring him.

 

Yeah the Mountains is what I fear at the moment. I need to sort out my overheating issues with a griffin radiator. With all that extra power the heat needs somewhere to go.
