Next time you all do something fun count me in! Ever thought of meeting up at the Holiday Drive-in for a movie maybe? Nothing like a row of Rotaries at a drive-in

Welcome.

A drive-in meet sounds like it could be a good time. Hell of an idea

Hey Lucky - did you used to park your Wankel down in an apartment parking garage near UC cross corner from Taco Bell? I ask because I swear there was one that used to park there with that same custom plate and I would rub it for good luck in hopes I would soon get one Always in fear it's owner would catch me and be like "WTF?" Glad to join you and indeed that drive-in is great, we need to hook up for sure with our twin red ladies.

Welcome Kytten. Maybe I will be able to talk my wife into signing up on here, if she knows there are other women around.

I might be able to get my wife to go to a drive-in, although the 8 isn't the best sort of car for that (if you catch my drift).

Been busy since I have gotten home, already have her sunvisor, fender vents, wheel center caps and RB intake installed. I started on the Axial Flow master cylinder brace but don't have the right size hole saw.

This is what happens when your van is in the shop

Be careful with putting a bike rack on the RX8. It fit OK, but bent down the bumper. (I installed it wrong) Hopefully it will come back up. Anyway, here are some pics with our bikes on the back. We get the van back later today so this will not happen on a regular basis.

Jaw Breaker Road Rally 2010 is over.
We had a great time, on a beautiful back country road.
Total of 265 miles, in 5 hours and 19 minutes (4th Place).
hoping to drive my own next year.

fuztupnz, it was good to see you at the rally, and hope you had a great time as well.

The drive in theatre sounds like a fun idea.
that is my wife and my first date, and we go there every year for our anniversary.
(unfortunately we usually take my wife's Toyota Highlander Hybrid though...)
If we gonna have any movie night and some cruise, count me in!

KNNNOOOWW SHHHIITT that is my car hahahaha, I lived in McMillan Manor the apt complex right by taco bell. Haha everytime i came down to work on it more someone wrote on it, was kinda pissed bc it scratched the new paint job I had done but no worries. Everything is fixed hahaha......

Damn I need to get this car finished so I can freaking meet up with all of you ladies and gents.

Me,Steve, and Jeff were the originators of this Cincy/NKY thread. I have to meet some of the new folks around here.

I really don't post much anymore just do A LOOOTT of reading and studying of these cars.

I look forward to meeting some of you very soon once my baby is put back together....

Jason and I both had stuff to do yesterday, so we didn't get to hang out with the jawbreaker crew. You wouldn't happen to have a list of everyone's times would you? We didn't get to see how we finished up Saturday either. I had tons of fun though!

SRrx-8JC:
You need to get that **** back together. It's not like the engines out and the interior is stripped or anything.

PSONODA: I have yet to put my rack on my car. Every time i think of it, I cringe a little. I just steal my wife's car if i'm taking the bike or bikes somewhere.

Acttuualllyy hahaha the interior is stripped right now but I can put a whole new one in in less two hours so I will get on that. I had it completely custom done. besides the seats I am saving for a sick *** seat. The engine is being super detailed and cleaned, and I have been fixing a lot of rust under the front and rear crash bars with grinding it down and sealing with some truck bed liner. It looks very clean and the rust is gone so I am happy. I just need to ditch work and work on it hahaha.

I am hurrying ladies and gents haha....

Hahaha.... that's too funny. SRrx-8JC, do your plates say WANKEL also? weird.

If there is interest in a drive-in with the 8s at the Holiday we should go for it. I'd be down as long as it's on a Saturday night. Just let me know.

Luckygrrl....

Yea my plates also say Wankel, mine is in KY though. I am in my last year at UC. I lived in that apt complex last year I played football at UC for the past 3 years before I tore my shoulder up last year during the Rutgers game, needless to say it ended my career. I would have had this last year left...

I would go to a drive in with possibly my other car or if you give me a date I will try to finish the car by then hahah its very slow but its coming together...

So my hands and forearms are chewed up, but the Yukon coils and new plugs are installed. I now proclaim myself expert for this so if anyone needs assistance let me know.

Well, you said you wanted to see how long it took me to install everything...

I take it you have been reading my mod thread elsewhere. I need to post some more, just haven't felt like doing it much after my first initial charge. I get to the point where I figure why bother, so many other people have done it I'm not covering new ground.

I might need your help once I decide to change the spark/coil/wire, etc.
I'm at 25,000 miles right now, and looking to change them around 30,000?
so still have a little time.

anyways, looking forward to meet you at some meet or something!

Yeah, no problem as long as I am home. Just have to work it into the wife's schedule.

I'm planning on being at Fuel this Saturday with her so if anyone is around we can do the introduction thing.

Sounds like a plan. I'll be in the wife's 8, and wearing either my Mazdaspeed hat or a ship hat.

Nice to meet a couple of you at Fuel. It was awesome today, some beautiful cars. Gives me some incentive to get my act together on a couple of vehicles so I can display them. It is so nice having a place like that where we can get together. My wife even liked it (not for the cars though!).

Just let me know when your wife will be there so I can make sure mine will be too. They can commiserate over being married to car guys.

I'll be at Fuel again this weekend with the Speed this time.
