Any time is fine with me. My office is at 144th & Dodge so any location works -- Kain-- your at 72nd right? Probably should go to BrazenHead (though Charleston's is a person favorite :D )

mooneycj -- I don't think you'll scare anyone away I'm 38 (is that middle aged?) no thinning hair -- but definitely a conservative.

We should email or PM others on the list from Omaha.

Omahawk
Blizz81
RX8Sooner
Huskerz79

There is also a guy in my building that bought an 8 (Blue with appearance package) a while back -- I'll leave a note on his car.

I should have my JIC coilovers installed by next Fri. and maybe my MS wing.

I'll see if I can reschedule a 1:30 on Friday to make the lunch.

It also might depend on my transportation availability...my maxima is still having the same problem even after the clutch replacement on Friday.

yeah that was about the exact time too! it must have been you! nice ride! A guy I know got an auto red tuesday, I saw it in person last night- first time I have seen one in person, the smaller wheels and different design really made the car look different! He is hoping to be at brazenhead friday as well

Let's hope we just get rain! I have to drive to Lincoln later this morning.

The guy in my building with the Blue 8 is also going to come.

I had the MS wing and eyelines put on yesterday. Looks good IMO -- but my wife's laughter when she saw it is still haunting me

Also had the JIC coilovers put on a few days ago. Have been playing with the ride height -- think it is just about right now -- scraped my exhaust shield leaving my driveway yesterday and had to raise it up a little. Softest setting is like stock in terms of comfort but definitely more stable on the turns. I have it cranked down 2 clicks from softest right now and it is handling very nicely.

Should have the rest of the MS bodykit put on next week.

Looks like just clouds til later today -- not a great day but should be OK if everyone still wants to do lunch. Might be hard to get in touch with everyone to reschedule but it doesn't matter to me if we wait til next week or go today.

p.s. -- I should have adjusted my JIC's to soft yesterday before I drove to Lincoln -- setting 5 while on I80 is a little hard on the fillings and ribs

we will follow the radar- and NO there is not a official club as of yet- I nominate RXHusker to chair it though- I could make a logo and even host a little site or something if we wanted to do that>?

Well are we on for today? I just got out of a meeting but the weather looks ok (not snowing or raining).

RX Club of ? (Neb., NE and IA, Heartland, Midlands, etc.) sounds good to me -- I could coordinate. Let's see annual dues of $500 payable to RXHusker should get that supercharger installed

I will be going to the Spring Game. My 8 year old son is a Big Red Fanatic so I am sure he will expect dad to take him.

I'm stuck here on a project that popped up a week and a half ago that's just been dragging out. One of those "here's how we thought we were going to do it....oh, I guess we should tell the IT guys our plans too, since we're leaving in a week" that turns ugly...

Good news is, I think after way too much $$ and months later, the maxima seems to finally be fixed.

But it's too bad I can't join you guys this time and oogle at a collection of 8s. I'll be keeping my eye out for meets though - I definitely have to see the mazdaspeed kit/wing and new mods on RXHuskers.

Phil -- you are really going to be gripping the dash if we take that run through Deer Creek again now that I have the JIC coilovers on! The 8 handles like it is on rails now -- and it was no slouch before. Hope you can make it next time.

RXhusker, Hskr8, Kain: It was fun meeting you guys for lunch! Lets do it again then go for a drive next time.

RXhusker, I appreciate the tip on the detail shop. I want a ride in your car when you get the CZ stage 1 back and operational. I think I sense a Omaha powerbuy brewing!
