My new floormats are in! I'll go pick them up this afternoon.

I noticed last week that my stock mats were beginning to show some wear where my heels touch them on the driver's side, so I ordered a new set of stockers.

I also have the "all weather" rubber floormats but don't really like them. They are big and clunky (although they do a very good job at keeping water and crap off the carpet) and I don't drive my 8 in winter anyway.

 

Everyone,

Spent last week up in North Ogden visiting my wife's family and saw a total of 2 RX-8s all week ;( and one was in the Peach Days parade. Is there just a shortage of Rotaries in Utah or is no one organized up there? I went to the Peach Days car show on Saturday (9/6) and with more than 900 cars in the show, not one rotary powered Mazda was there. The Utah Nissan club was there in force along with the VW club, but I was hoping to see some of you "locals" turn out to support the Rotary. Oh well... maybe next year. It was a fun week and a GREAT show. Check it out next year... I'm sure I'll be there!!

 

Hey RCCAZ, the local rotary club is pretty much all RX-7's, with only one or two marginal exceptions. There are six or eight of us 8 owners from this Website in the greater Salt Lake area (50 miles south of North Ogden), only one or two up there.

You tend to see them in bunches. Sometimes you don't see one for weeks at a time.

 

I dunno, but I think we need to meet for sure Saturday is looking healthy Sunday as well. What do you say, I'll call and set up a bbq if enough people will come I mean at least 4 or 5.

 

Ill be there!

 

Me and 04, well I hope a few more want to come.

My buddie's Subaru club is going on a canyon run and pot luck dinner yo! at Murray Park on Sunday at 6. They invited us, they wanna make it a import car meet. Let me know if your in or no.

 

sounds fun. I'm in for both as far as I know. I work until 2pm on sat. Not entirely sure what my schedule's like for sunday yet but count me in and if something changes between now and then ill let you know!

 

Well, I didnt reserve a spot cause there wasn't enought people to call for one. So I'm planning for the Sunday meet at murray park at 6. But it's changed to a bring your own grub cause a couple of girls (literally) are coming and they are vegan so it makes it kinda hard to bring stuff they can chow on.

Let me know, I'll be checking back.

 

Mike, I'm just up to my armpits this weekend and can't make it at all.

One of my crew broke his leg last weekend in an ATV accident and is out for 6 to 8 weeks, another is currently on vacation- so the rest of us are taking up the slack but falling short. It could be a while before I get some play time.

Party with the girls without me this time.

 

OOoohh. That's rough JT sorry to hear. Hope it's not too brutal.

 

Thanks man. I just hope I can get back on-schedule and have some drive time before the snow flies and I park this baby for 3 months or so!

 

I hear that. Winter is approaching and far to rapidly. I for one am just not excited this year like have been in past years though.

 

Are you still looking for a winter beater?

 

Yes I am sir.

 

New shiftstyle boot. Pics as promised.

 

Cool! Looks like suede, yes?

And is that Vizene in the ashtray?

 

Hey gays this is Husain from Ogden, UT Originally from Kuwait I'm currently a student at Weber State. Never got the time to post on this thread, will be happy to attend RX-8 meets.

 

Welcome Husain! I've seen you around 8club for a year or so.

We're a loose bunch here, it's been tough to get everyone together this summer (and I garage my 8 in winter) but we're still hoping to meet before the weather turns cold.

Stay tuned to this thread for more info.

How's it going Husain, Good to meet you, I like the mod list you have, very similar to mine. . Keep posting and checking in, we should be getting some kind of meet together in a short while.

 

Yeah I lived in Ogden for 2 years with mine and only saw another on three or four occasions. Glad to have you Husain!! I'll be watchin for you when I'm up that way. I graduated from WSU 2 years ago
Bose! Looks good man. Sorry I didn't check more frequently! I totally coulda met up w/you guys last weekend! I was detailin on Sun and had the cops called on me TWICE for my music...AND I HAVE A STOCK SYSTEM!! And it was only up to like 15 or 20db! People are so **** * (that's the new universal symbol for **** "*")

So I found some RUST inside my gas lid!!!!! Lots of it, under the paint! Bountiful Mazda told me that Mazda won't accept responsibility even though there's only been one other owner, who leased it from them and had NO body work done the whole time he owned it (only 18k miles), they can't find proof that it was ever re-painted, AND I purchased an extended BUMPER TO BUMPER warranty which is still in effect! They are saying it's not covered cuz the full Factory warranty isn't in effect anymore, and the new warranty doesn't cover bodywork!!!!!! I am so pissed and don't know what to do because it's obviously manufacturer defect!

OK this saturday, 20th lets BBQ in the park. Liberty? I'll be there, invite the WRXers. Tully, I hope you can catch a break! The weekend after that is SEVENSTOCK!!! I am so excited!!!

 

Im Volunteering this weekend guys

 

Thanks, the boot was only like 40 with shipping. Great deal. I will talk to my buddies WRX crew and see, but I am down for Saturday meet, I don't care if we BBQ or meet at like Hooters or Starbucks whatever, I just wanna get together and talk cars, 8's, life. whatever. We need to have a brotherhood going like the subaru clubs around.

 

Rain forcast for this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday.

 

What kind of volunteer work do you do? Or are you saying you're joining the military this weekend?

 

Yeah, I'm looking at the forecast and it does say "thunderstorms possible" for both sat and sun. hmmmmm
