utah made my rx8 slower its already a slow automatic but damn, coming here probably dropped it atleast 20 or so hp. Big noticable difference.

My wifes family lives here and I was just sick of florida so we rented a truck and car trailer, loaded are stuff and here we are. We should be both starting our jobs this week and starting to save up for another car (sold mine down in tampa before coming, wife drove rx8) then finding a house or something to rent.

one more emission question - the guy who had my car before me blacked out the side markers on the front, are those something you have to have or what?

 

do you guys happen to know what the auto tops out at?

And have any of you ran on the salt flats? I saw they have a 130 mph club, that would be pretty fun to attend

 

Now don't quote me on this but the auto I believe tops out at 130ish. There are a few top speed threads around here.

 

The altitude will do that to cars. You went from about sea level up to almost 5000 feet. Damned thin mountain air.

As for your corner markers, you do need them but as long as the light shines amber they should be fine. But like I said mine are clear and the light is white and I still passed.

 

There is alot of conflict about this/ some say there is a governor at 125/ other say the 04-05 don't have the governor/ I haven't tried YET!!

 

still waiting to hear what mazda is going to do another day another dollar...

 

Exactly, some with AT's have exceeded the 125 so I'm really not sure.

 

lazy bastagize. I am a very impatient man I would be climbing walls.

 

well hopefully mine will. Ill find out in september or whenver they open up the salt flats

 

yeah, my gps said we were 50 feet above sea level at my house in tampa, now were like 5200 or something .

there fully blacked, like he spray painted the stupid things. I hate it but cant afford another set yet.. that blows

 

I have an extra set of the ambers you can have if you want.

 

yeah that would be awesome. I can probably cough up something for them if you want just not hte 70 or so that there going for on ebay lol

 

Eh, don't worry about it, like I said you can have them. All I want in return is for you to come to meets this year, but that goes for everyone. I want to have some really great meets this year.

 

your not alone. Im suprised I havent seen more 8's here.. with the crazy roads up the mountains my lord, I cant wait for summer to play haha

 

Seems a lot of people garage their 8's when the white stuff starts flying. Summer I see a lot more of them but it seems a great number of them don't know about the club.

 

oo that sucks, guess ill have to start refering haha. I Dont blame them, I feel bad every time i drive it in the snow. Doesnt help that its black so it shows EVERYTHING. I go through so many of the touch free car washes its not even funny

 

Yeah my silver hides it pretty well but I know it's there, so I'm constantly washing it.

 

I like the silvers, pretty nice in my opinion.

btw, we need a bigger pic of that avatar haha

 

The silver holds up pretty well, just wish it wasn't cursed.

 

lol, what kinda issues have you had?

 

I got hit by some 16 year old a couple months ago, that's the curse. Every silver is supposedly 'cursed' because oddly they have the highest number of totaled cars. And is the only 8 known to have been run over by a tank.

 

you got ran over by a tank! lol. Thats too bad about the silver's, on the other hand its probably a good trade of just to have a cool rotary car

 

8 more weeks brother, 8 more weeks. The waiting is brutal.

 

8 weeks of what, I have a feeling its going to be cold a litlte longer then that lol.

 

March can go either way, it's true, but one must have hope.

It's not the cold; it's the road salt and sand they dump all over the roads here. My 8 has yet to come in contact with the damnable stuff since the day she rolled off the truck from the long trip from Hiroshima. I ruined my RX-7 driving it in winter. I won't repeat that experience.

By the end of February, all the various municipalities salt budgets will be exhausted and the roads will detoxify again.

Then I can drive my 8 once more and everything will be right with the world.
