That is the shittiest ******* story I have heard. I ******* hate theivin' *** son's a bitches. Sorry to hear, were they your stock rims or a different set?

I will see how well they work tonight. I didn't get them on the car until today.

 

Yea. . they were stock . . . I bought them off a guy . . .ughh So pissed now And now im extreamely poor and cant even drive my car when it snows

 

that sucks man, sorry to hear that. today was pretty slick out there luckily i had some blizzaks on my mazda. now just waiting for some to come for my bmw. should get here tomorrow though. i cant believe there are people out there that do that. seriously jacked up

 

Hey eng, I have seen the same silver rx8 in the front yard at about 13th and 45th.. doesn't sound like he or she is on the forum yet I am on 45th but im down on 7th west now so I am in kind of the same area

 

Yeah I drive home from 1600 in Orem to AF 5 days a week. I left work last night at about midnight and it was my first snow experience in my 8. It did better than I thought, I had to drive slow as hell but hey, better than a wrecked 8! On another note, I hit 100 miles on my new engine. I cant wait to hit that 600 mile mark, I am gonna drive that thing like a mad man again, well maybe not in Orem, i already got a reckless driving ticket there in my 8, Thats a LONG story, I hate that you can get a ticket without the cops seeing you do anything. Just a jealous *******.

 

How's everyone liking the crazy wind today?

I just installed some new lights. Got new parking lights (freaking 9 led's) and new license plate light, and new side corner markers in super bright white. They all look amazing. I'll post pics this weekend. Got them all from rx8 strakes.

 

I don't like wind I just got my led park lights and headlights from rx8strakes.com were they easy to install?

 

Im going down to my home town and garaging the 8 and bringing my old caddy deville up

 

Nice, pimpin the caddie. Better than sliding around in the 8. Where's your home town?

 

new park and driving lights are in and look great the new lights seem to be a clearer light but not as bright as my stock headlights.. I might have to switch to HID's if they are not bright enough stupid thing is I bought the ones that are 45 watts more than the stock ones . . . .

 

What's up! I am new to this forum, Ilive in midvale, just thought I would say hey

 

Im new here as well, I live in the utah county area just got me a new 2005 RX8 Silver with 30,000 miles on it. I had owned a 2001 SH EBP Prelude Before this.. I must admit that i love the rx8 :D Thought i would say hi.

 

I used to live in Richfield Ut But im cruizing the caddy I noticed this weekend I had condensation on my dipstick . . . But looks like its more then just condensation. . . its pretty milky but not mixing in with the oil. . . Anyone have any ideas.

 

Good to see some new members. Welcome to the club. I'm Mike I live in Sandy. If you ever have any questions or need help with anything let me know if I can help.

Is this on your 8? If it is then don't worry about it. Happens to every rotary engine and some VW engines as well from what I've seen. It's happens in cold weather, it's just the water in the gas and oil not being completely vaporized in the combustion chamber. Because our block is so small it doesn't retain the heat long enough to that and the condensation accumulates in the dipstick where it gets coldest, fastest. You can go to Mazda and they will either give you the insulation for the dipstick or maybe the breather system (PVC) but you will probably have to pay. I just deal with it and make sure it has oil, and do more frequent oil changes in the winter. That's what I know.

 

Don't worry, that's normal with our cars. Tends to happen with cold weather. Do a search on it and you can find more info on why.

 

well and thats just it. . . i drove over 300-400 miles thinking that would warm it up and it would be gone. . . Nope was still there.

 

Is this condensation is your fuel tank?/ I have never seen this in mine!

 

I have driven mine for 5 hours strait in an attempt to rid it. But it just stayed. So after driving my car for the whole winter and not having a problem I decided Mazda was just blowing smoke up my *** and it isn't an issue.

The condensation is on the dipstick. But DO NOT WORRY it's normal. At least for rotaries. There is tons of info on this site about it if you want to know more but it's not hurting anything.

 

Good to know, I will have to check mine.

 

Are there any local RX8 club?/ If not maybe we could start one up?

 

Alright, Ill just watch it Ive been raised around pistions. So well . . . In a normal engine the head gasket would be shot haha. . . So thats why i get all worried But yea we have a few meets here and there its good times!

 

Yeah my first winter with the RX8 I was freaking out cause of it but no problems so I'm not worried about it.

We do have a 'club' of sorts. We had a few meets last year, this next year I want to organize more stuff so just stay on the forum and you'll know. And if you want to organize something just post it here and the word will get around.

what do you mean shonebob?

 

Welcome to the club newcomers Brilliant Black 04 sport rx8 here with blue interior and exterior lights, tint, and yes I drive my 8 year round because I havent got the money to get a subaru for the winter lol. If you see me around I WILL wave or dim my lights I live around the 45th and state area so if you see me WAVE BACK .
Condensation is normal on the dipstick I agree..
And if you are wondering about the club meets just take a look at the pictures a couple pages back, good times lol.

 

Question - Have you guys ever had ur windscreens frosted from the inside on cold nights (I'm not talking about fog or mist)? I wonder if there's a leak in the vent system or perhaps the rubber beadings on the doors.

 

Sweet, I will look forward to going to a meet and meeting everone!/ Saw a white 8 in Murray on State by Sams Club/ Is that anyone's?
