right on fella's well I'll keep checkin' back to see if anyone else is coming, but I'm down with whatever. Where in the park should we meet?

rx8snowboard 06-20-2008 06:17 PM

I could probably make it on sunday for a little while, im in :)

04rx8gr 06-20-2008 06:28 PM

Sweet the more the better! !! and we will just meet at the first parking lot and line up and get some pics!

RoXas585 06-20-2008 07:35 PM

Sorry guys I wont be able to make it. I would love to, but my 8 is not working...yet again. It runs fine for about 20 minutes, but once you come to a full stop and accelerate in first gear, it dies. Wont start again for 20-30 minutes of sitting. Back to the shop on monday.

BTW bose is the freaking coolest guy around. He helped me install my new high flow cat which was an incredible chore for such an easy task. The bolts were all fused on which made getting the old one off next to impossible. I owe you man.

bose 06-21-2008 02:42 PM

Not a problem bro. I'm down to help anyone when possible, especially with car stuff.

Cool on the meet my buddy wants to come in his wrx as well.

04rx8gr 06-21-2008 02:57 PM

Anyone is welcome!!! but it we plan on meeting at 2 then leaving around 3 so :)

Jethro Tull 06-22-2008 12:27 AM

Guys, I'll sure try and be at Sugarhouse Park at 2. I guess just look for the pack of Mazdas, eh? ;)

No guarantees. The wife and kid are pretty good at deciding what my time should be spent on. (grumble...)

Remember that I-80 has that bridge-moving thing going-on that day, so it will be only one lane in each direction. I think I'll take a surface street if I can get away.

My car needs a good wash & detail right now, but what the heck. Maybe I'll do it when I get back from the park.

Mike, I'll bring your premix bottle if I come.

bose 06-22-2008 12:54 PM

cool sounds like a few more want to come. I may not be there til like 230-245, I spaced that it's my nephew's b-day so I will be coming from Herriman and may be a bit late, hope I don't miss the fun, hopefully see you there.

Sounds good Chuck, no worries if you can't.

Gr8White 06-22-2008 03:32 PM

Welcome, Gr8White!

I'm in West Valley, but I think there are a couple of guys in the Ogden area. We just had a little get-together in Salt Lake, at Sugarhouse Park today. You should drive down for the next one, hopefully in July.

I have an '07 too, 5800 miles. Weekend car, garaged in winter. Sunlight Silver.

I'm guessing yours is white? :)

Jethro Tull 06-22-2008 04:42 PM

Good to see a few local rotary owners today, anyway!

Let's plan one for July, give everyone time to plan ahead.

Darius, did you show-up after I had to take off?

04rx8gr 06-22-2008 09:52 PM

well
 
It was nice meeting a few of you even tho ya guys didnt go on the drive it was a very nice ride! and alot of fun maybe next time!!

bose 06-23-2008 10:17 AM

Nice to meet some enthusiasts yesterday. I had too much going on yesterday to go on the drive although I really wanted too.

We should plan somthing for either the 24th of July or the weekend following, maybe a BBQ, followed by a drive up east canyon or somthing yeah? let me know, we should really get it organized so we can have a excellent meet.

04rx8gr 06-23-2008 10:19 AM

hmm
 
If we got more people from this group wanting to do something then i wouldnt have to mesh groups. . . . So maybe sometime!! :)

Jethro Tull 06-23-2008 10:41 AM

Let's keep the SLCRotary group in the loop. Nice people.

But those Chevy's and Fords and assorted rice... I dunno...lol

04rx8gr 06-23-2008 12:15 PM

sorry
 
Sorry about it .. .. I just figured it would be nice to meet new people and go for a drive. . . Guess I was wrong . . . But to tell you the truth Mazda is partly owned by ford haha so not quite sure why you rebel against them haha. . . BUT to each his own if you guys can get a turn out of 10 or more I Would be more than happy to devote my time and tag along but when there is only 3 . . . . not quite sure it would of been a great meet. . . . But there is my insight and hope we have future meets . . . With great rotary turn outs.

Jethro Tull 06-23-2008 01:35 PM

I'm just kidding, 04.

Ford owns the largest single percentage of Mazda stock, actually- they pull a lot of strings there. Last I read, it was about 33%. I also own a Ford as my DD.

I'm an old rotary engine enthusiast from way back. My first was an '80 RX-7 that I bought brand-new in late '79. Loved that car! So I would prefer to meet with other rotary folks, but it's not a hard and fast rule. As long as the piston people don't start insulting us, no problem.

The rotary women are better looking, though! :)

04rx8gr 06-23-2008 01:57 PM

haha
 
That is very true they are much better looking. . . haha we are all car enthusiests they know not to dis a rotary ive straightend that up haha!! Its all good if we got more rotarys to meet up then i would but no one really responded so i asked my main group to join. . . Rocky mountain ecotec is one of the main sponsored clubs from Rocky Mountain Raceway . . Hence why I joined haha

Gr8White 06-23-2008 02:47 PM

yeah, the car is pearl colored, makes for a pretty sight in the sun. I saw you guys had a meet not too long ago and after seeing the photos, I wish i had known about it sooner. I'll be looking forward to the next meet.

DariusDemon 06-23-2008 04:43 PM

Bah! I totally spaced it! That sucks! Sorry guys. I coulda brought my S2K buddy too! at least for that one ;). Anyway sorry I'll be at the next one for sure and hopefully Roxas will be up and running again too.

04rx8gr 06-23-2008 05:20 PM

pictures
 
Hey for those of you that wanna see the pics of the ride here they are

http://www.rockymountainecotec.net/i...hp?topic=838.0

rx8snowboard 06-23-2008 06:44 PM

sorry I didn't make it guys, I ended up getting a house and signing some papers :) Looks like I will be on 3600 south and 13th east from now on, yay!

WreakLoosE 06-23-2008 08:08 PM

Utah??? what is that noise??? The earth trembles??? You got that feeling again???? OH its just me...

Hay guys... About 2 weeks ago I was driving on my way home from a new job I just started and enjoying the feel of a Turbo in my wrx but feeling upset that when i look arround the cabin it feels like im driving a tercel, then I feel the earth shake and hear an oh so familiar rumble in the air and look up to see heading my way... MY OLD RX8... so I flip a BI**H and I follow the car and end up at some recycling center in Ogden. I got a chance to see my old baby.. I felt her up told her I missed her.. Spoke to the guy who owned her. It was very nice to see it again. Looked the same way as I left her.. a ton more rock chips on the aero flare kit but no dents etc. the Carbon Fiber hood could use some wax but it wasnt too bad. It was very nice to see my old car and to say HI. I was able to con my wife into letting me get another RX8, but I have to get rid of the WRX and I feel its not a bad traid off. I have been searching and planning how my new RX8 will be so maybe soon I can get a new RX8 im still looking to find one used so if you guys know anybody selling a used one (black) let me know.

Jethro Tull 06-24-2008 10:34 AM

Good to hear from you, Big T!

That would be weird, seeing a beloved car that I had to sell.

Hopefully you'll be back in an 8 soon!

Expand your search, a lot of places will ship a car to you for a reasonable fee, or you could bring it home yourself. Good reason for a road trip!

bose 06-24-2008 11:06 AM

Yeah what's up T? You could try carmax and search nationally, I know they ship vehicles across the nation for a reasonable fee, maybe worth checking out. Other than that I will keep my eyes peeled.
