Welcome and congrats on getting the 8. You will really like the car. Be sure to read up on how best to care for your 8 - there is lots of great information on this forum. Post questions here for ones you can't find answers for elsewhere.

Have you gotten an answer on your CD question?

 

You on base i think i see your car around alot.

 

Yeah man, its not a 6 disc changer!! that sux, but its all good, no biggie, I can live without it. Dude I am love my car already, it is so sleek, and somewhat of an instant panty dropper...Haha jk. Yea, I have been reading a lot on these forums, thanks for everything man.

 

No man, I am nowhere near the base, I reside on the west side near unser and st josephs.

 

Congrats on the new car. They are extremely fun to drive and I met my future wife with my old 8.

I have 4 slotted/drilled rotors for your car, brand new for dirt cheap $175.00.

I had similiar set on my 8 and it really helped the looks and less fading of breaks in autocross. I also had painted my calipers when I did the swap, which wasn't to hard. I didn't it the lazy man way (left brake line on) and they still came out looking great. Had some cool RX-8 decals on them too. I have some other parts from my 04 as well, so if you interested let me know.

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, I've been a bit busy and my computer died. NMOcho, I may just take you up on the offer of slotted rotors. I should know for sure by next week some time.

 

cool just let me know

 

Update price on the rotors that I'm selling just 150.00.

 

Hey guys!! Just got my 8 a lil' over 2 weeks ago, am new to rotaries, and stationed out here at Cannon AFB (Clovis). Not too many 8's around here (I've literally counted 3 including myself). Whenever there's a meet or event going on, I will gladly drive to where ever it is. I love to travel!!

 

Hey NMOcho you still have the brake rotors for 150? you said all 4 and new. what other 04 parts do you have are you parting the eight out?

 

oh and any one near the Silver City area for being a small town i know there is at least 5 or 6 here. my car is lonely and needs another to talk to

 

I sure do! They are brand New! slotted and drilled. You would be lucky to replace two stock rotors for that price. Just drop me a message or check craigslist where I have them advertised. I haven't sold them for higher on EBAY as shipping costs would be crazy high with their weight. So was trying to hook up a fellow 8 fan with good deal.

I got a stock exhaust, stock mid pipe, but the O2 Senser is not on it. I have stock intake parts, minus one screen. Oh and one new fog light and turn signal switch.

If I still had my 8 I would totally be down for a drive. It's a shame that the 8's are not organized in NM. I know the Rx-7 Crew are fun to hang out with. But the 8's are not tune friendly like the 7's. I see a lot of 8's in ABQ, but most are not car club hangout types. I saw black one at the top of the sandia crest that had lot of body mods, rims etc. Not sure engine items, just saw the car.

 

Hey Z Phi...I am one of those few eights in Clovis...If you ever wanna meet up or go for a drive..pm me

 

What's going on Z Phi and Bluedevil04, I'm one of the other rx-8's rolling around the base and Clovis. Red with black rims. Good to see the rx community is out in little Clovis NM.

 

Ive only seen one other modified 8 in Cruces, murdered out evil Rx-8 lol.

Im the Silver rx8 GT with smoked lights,black emblems, and black w/ red striped tenzo R's.

Anyone pass through Las Cruces much?

 

Yea I see you all the time redrxdevil parked out in front of the 16...nice car...

 

Thanks bluedevil04. It's a work in progress and you know how that goes you're never really done, there is always somethings else you want to upgrade. Do own the RX-8 with the aftermarket front bumper? (NICE!) That's the only blue RX-8 I've seen.

 

Yea thats me!! thanks.....there is another blue one that i see from time to time...are you with the 16th?

 

Redrxdevil I've seen your car also. It's pretty nice ride, and those rims are on point. Bluedevil04 yours is nice too. Mine is a dark gray one, still completely stock, but slowly but surely it'll be the ride I want it to be. Mine's usually at the gym or at the Fuels building. If you guys ever decide to ride let me know. I'm always down for it.

 

Thanks Z Phi I bought them on Ebay, very cheap Approx. $375 for the set. I haven't seen your gray RX-8 yet, I see Bluedevil04's, and a red 2009 all the time on base. Yeah Bluedevil04 I work out at the 16th, I PCS'd in from Florida about 3 months ago, and boy what a change this place is! My schedule is crazy lately, I've been on 3 different shifts in 3 weeks, when things calm down a little, maybe I'll have the time to go for a ride with you'll.

 

hoping to get a little help for a fellow NM RX-8 owner:

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=3484642

 

I am new to the RX-8 club and I have all the RX styles since they came out with the rotary. I am looking for a good mechanic, someone besides the dealer ships that is reliable to work on my RX-8. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Damn good question. Only a few months left on my warranty so I'll be looking for one too. Since RotaryRX closed here in town I don't know who works on our cars and knows what they are doing....

-Chak

 

You might want to check with the local rx-7 club members as they were a strong mechanical group. But since rotaryrx shut down it left only dealer. But since I don't have my 8 I have lost contact with most. Good luck!

 

The best hope might a recommendation from Soren. Soren is the gentlemen that hosted our race day/instruction at the Sandia racetrack...yes NMOcho I know you didn't want to hear that and I don't blame you. Soren is mostly a Miata mechanic, but he might have some ideas for places to go for the 8 in case he doesn't yet work on them. Soren does work on cars other than Miata...

I'll call him tomorrow to see is he can offer up some suggestions. I'll let you know what he has to say.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their 8. I miss mine.
