Hey everyone. For those who do not know of Hot Import Nights, it's an ever so increasingly popular import car show with many attractions and vendors of all kinds and entertainment. Best of all it's sponcered by Mazda! I think we should set up a meet for this event. Here are the details:

McCormick Place - Chicago, IL

2006-03-25
2301 South Lake Shore Drive.
Chicago, IL 60616
HIN
5pm to 12pm

Note: Some of us may want to register our cars to help get more people involved. If you think you might want to do this PM me. Also if you don't want to register your car parking is between 5 and 10 dollars I believe.

 

Hey all,

I just received an e-mail from Dension-makers of the iceLink iPod interface-saying they now have a kit for Mazdas. This was from Jesse at Dension USA:

"The kits have finally arrived and I will be able to start shipping this week. Compatibility hasn’t been entirely established yet but as long as your radio has firmware version 9.55 or newer the kit should work for you well. Firmware 9.67 is recommended. To check you firmware version, power the radio on, then hold the Text and Preset 1 buttons at the same time."

Don't know if this specifically means the RX-8 , but I did list my car as an RX-8 when signing up for the e-mail notification. They have not updated their Web site yet, but here is the URL: www.densionusa.com.

 

Hello All,
I'm still here in Florida, returning to Chicago tomorrow nite. There is news on the job front. Many of you know that on the 13th, I was due to be layed off. Things have changed. As of now, I do still have a job. But, I will be working 4 day work weeks(10hrs/day) starting at 2 pm. This would mean, no more EVOLV-Chicago meets for a while.

 

well i went to h.i.n. last year and showed..i was in the back by the main stage....and well i think that show is a waste of a time to enter...its cool to go watch but the $15-20 ticket price and the $17 dollar parking...i have no idea where that guy paid 5-10 bux is a rip off...car pool or take the train if u go ..and im sure ill prolly end up goin and prolly driving but thats cause im dumb...and get bored..lol

 

Sorry to hear you won't be around Al, but good news about the job...

 

Hey guys,

Maybe we can have a Saturday morning brunch meet soon. Al, can you go if it around 11AM or noon? Race, I know you have a unique schedule, does it allow something like this? Would this give all of you lushes out there enough time to recover after Friday night? Anyone else have any ideas?

 

I think your idea about going over basics with your father would be cool if he thought he had something very constructive to discuss. My only hesitance is that it seems that even the very best mechanics are lost when it comes to rotaries. But I'm sure there's lots he could discuss that would be very beneficial for all of us.

My lush schedule sometimes makes bruch a possibility, sometimes not.

 

It sucks to say it, but staurday I'm suppose to be looking at a townhouse in Naperville. So I will be unable to attend. Sorry guys, I know it's been a long while for me.

 

Good luck on the townhouse. It's better than paying rent.

 

hey all, wow! sounds like everyone has a lot going on. i cant make it this saturday because i have a friend in the hospital in very critical condition. we are still waiting to see if he will come out of the coma.

anyway, if you have meet ideas, the best way to get this group to get off their butts is to pick a date/time/place and let me know. i'll post it up and then people can decide if they can go or not.

im gonna suggest saturday the 11th for the auto show in february. mebbe with a little notice race can stop by for brunch during his search (good luck dude! yea, move out over by me!!!)

 

sorry i missd you in this thread ... sending you a PM to join our group!
