If you're coming our way sometime let us know....we can always arrange something. We are always looking for an excuse...
Thanx for the welcome. And when I do arrive and get settled I'll be sure to look you guys up. I don't think it's too far a drive to Albuquerque from Clovis. Even if it is, you're not the only one looking for excuses to make a drive... :D

Hey all,
How was the meet yesterday? Sorry I missed it. Last minute drama put the kaibash on goint to the meet. Anybody got any good mods to talk about? I installed the CZ and I've got it tuned almost exactly how I want it. A pretty good mod if you can get one for about $300 used. I have the programming equip availble for folks to borrow, too. A real noticable gain in HP. I suspect that I've added close to 20HP with the CZ. A few more HP are possible with it.

Okay NM it is time to show up at the June RX8 rally in Colorado. RonD-NM and I went last year and had a great time. The dates are 4 and 5 June in the Denver area. The 5 June is a planned track day...you get a little education on track driving, spend some time drive on the track...and have lots of fun doing it. If you need more information send me a PM. I plan on driving up on June 3rd. It would be nice to go as a group....lets hear from you!!

I'm in! I can't wait! I was just looking at the Rocky Mnt. RX8 club page and the pics and description of last year's event look incredible! We should definitely plan on a caravan from NM.

Its been FOREVER since we got together! I know that's mostly my own fault, but lets see if we can get Ron and the boyz together soon. I've added a CZ, an RB intake and have a high-flow cat on the way. I am getting a lot of HP for a naturally asipirated motor! You guys need to take a spin and see what about $1k can get you in terms of N/A mods!

Buenos Dias! Picked up My Shinka from Santa Fe last Saturday. After a couple decades of only having SUV's, it's awesome to have a slick little road car again. Can't wait to to take it up north in the mountains.

Welcome! And congratulations on the Shinka 8. Can't wait to see it. Take a read on this forum on the RX8 rally being held in Denver CO on June 4 & 5. Several of us NM 8 owners are going and we would love to have you join us. It isn't too late to make the trip.

I can tell you that last years event was great fun and there were some really awesome mountain roads that we drove during the event...and there was a track day for those who wanted to try their hand with their RX8 on track.

I know you will love your 8, just be sure to read as much as you can on how to care for that new non-SUV engine. It is more understanding it then any extra or special work to maintain it. I'm coming up on two years with my 8 and I still love it.

Thanks Kewl, but next weekend is a planned relaxing camping weekend up in Bland Canyon and a weekend off for MyShinka) It's been a couple years since we've been able to camp after Memorial Day (due to fire restrictions) and ..well.. can't do everthing.

Cheers!

Understandable...maybe next time. In any event have a great time. I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures of this years rally so you're get to see what's in store for next year. Next time some of us local RX8 owners get together hopefully you can join us.

RotorFest 2005

Sorry this is so late guys, I had problems with registration. Anyway Rotary RX New Mexico's first real rotary shop is sponsering the first annual Rotorfest BBQ to be held on the 11th of this month at Rotary RX. We would really love to see some 8's there. We already have quite a few 7's of every generation coming from all over the state, but no 8's so far. It would be a great way to meet other rotor heads here in New Mexico along with some great food!
Hope to see some of you guys there

Here is the link to the post on RX7club.com: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=422791

Website is under contruction, but here is the number to Rotary RX:
922-1115, ask for Tom.

I just returned from the RockyMountainRX8 Rally in Denver CO, but I will be there on Sat around noon..with my RX8. Hopefully not the only one. I hate being so badly outnumbered.
