I'm also in FTC. I have a Diamond Black 09' GT,. Sadly I have not found a decent and honest repair area up here for my RX8, so far I've only gotten decent information a couple places in Denver. Spradley was a total rip off, and tried to tack on shit that I knew for a fact didn't need replacement or fixing. They also refused to replace something I ask them too w/o doing a 100$ Diagnostic.

Hi new to the site: I have owned my 8 which is a 2004 automatic trans , for 4 years and have 78,000 on it. I'm in Denver, Colorado. Woulsw luv to hear from other enthusiasts in Denver area.

Welcome to the site.
We're here all the time, so feel free to even just post whenever you see an RX-8 out on the streets.

BC.

To the dbag in the blacked out S1 with the 12 year old passenger that was driving around the East side of the Springs a couple minutes... LEARN HOW TO DRIVE! 35 in a 45 in 6th gear while hugging the steering wheel doesn't make you cool. And having your passenger flip off other cars because you forgot to signal doesn't improve your cred.

The state needs to make tests harder and require all new drivers take a driving course that they need to pass with at least a B.

I just so wished I had my car at the time.

Why is it that every teen ager with mom's Toyota wants to race me?. I was out yesterday/Saturday on Federal blvd on the way to the free way to try out a adjustment of my air scoop on the lower front end. My 8 is a 2004 velocity red automatic 4 speed.

By the way the freeway test was very noticeable , more get up and go at speeds above 55mph in 4th gear. Cool: Today I spent staring at the throttle body trying to come up with a hose configuration that would hide the fact I have disconnected the throttle body coolant and rerouted it. Think I have it figured out to make it appear hooked up a glance.

I always get beater cars and cosmetic cars with big ol 22+ wheels trying to race me.:yelrotflm

Weather is getting nice, lets plan a meet somwhere someday?

Maybe we should start beating the drum for a June meeting. Take a poll as to where most of us live and where a central place to meet would be?. I'm up for it:).

May is out for me...but some time in June works

Im moving out of state june 1st:tear:

Tere are some who would want to eat the engine as described. :). he he.

@Sydeffect: When you move , are you driving your 8 or trailer. In any case good luck where ever you are going and to be sure there will be 8 owners:).

What's the scoop? Any meets before winter fully sets in?

I might be selling my S1 8 soon and was wondering if anyone would have interest in some of the non-stock parts. The largest parts are my main concern at the moment. Agency Power Catback, Racing Beat Midpipe and Axis wheels (wheels will require a trade + $$) are going to be the ones I'm most concerned about.

Anyone possibly interested in purchasing a second RX8 for racing, or have a friend that wants their first? I am looking to sell my RX8 and pick up something a little more suited for the snow. The RX8 is great for autocross and track folks and has a lot of mods to support this quest. It also has some nice upgrades that makes it a great non-snow day to day driver. Asking $10K, but I'm open to offers.

You open to a trade for the corners? I have the rotaryfx clear w/ black housing and want the jdm ones like yours.

I'm 99% sure I have amber corners in the garage somewhere. Let me confirm and then I'll find a price for ya.

Ok...I sold the 8 last night. So now I have some extra parts for locals.

Agency Power exhaust - Used 20K miles - $350
Racing Beat midpipe - Used 20K miles - $150
AccessPort - Used - $350
VooDoo Shift Knob - Used - $30
Chrome Exhaust Finishers - New - $150

Issac I still have the clear corners for you. Just let me know how you want to stop down or if you want me to ship them.

Update: I also found some OEM Coils and wires with 20K miles on them, and some OEM pads with like 5K miles on them. Send me a PM with an offer on those.
