Parking lot fun

Yoluun, if you're by UM's North Campus, some of the more remote parking lots empty out pretty nicely later at night. Try these:

213547952350174505761.00049c7e265f99bcdf7fe

Just watch out for light posts. Haven't found many good parking lots without them. My 8 is tucked away for the winter, but I've been enjoying these lots in my Subaru.

Wow thanks!
I tried going into those lots before but I saw a patrol pass by so I didn't do it haha.

Is your Subaru a blue WRX? I saw one parked near LBME's parking area.

Yes sir. I think I saw a white 8 ... I don't remember exactly where though haha. I saw a few yellow and silver ones, and I remember the silver owner because he gave me a thumbs up as he drove past me lol.

No, I wish! I've got an older 2.5RS that gets me through the winter and absolutely refuses to stop working. It's incredible in the snow, but I'm ready for some clear roads. My 8 is getting cabin fever.

Do you live around Ann Arbor? School or work in the area?

Ya I study in UM. I got some blizzaks on my rims. Whereabouts are you Moseph?

Btw I think 2.5 RS looks really awesome! I actually like the styles of 1980s~2000 cars better than what we have now.

First time post.

I am new to the RX8 Club web site and found the Michigan post. My 04 titanium GT has 52K miles and seems to be not as powerful. Had a intake check at the Suburban Auto Dealer and was not happy with this maintenance. I am looking for the best import parts store in the Detroit area for spark wires, plugs and possible checking out the coils. SG Import parts is near work in Livonia any others recommended stores.


I am from the Brighton Area.

Hi Wayne. You should just order the best stuff and get it delivered to your door.
If you need to know where to look for a specific part PM me and I can probably lead you to the best deals/better service.
How old are your coils/sparkplugs. If they need a change maybe you could seafoam your engine to clean it up.
You can check out http://www.michiganrotaryclub.com ;I believe there is a garage day coming up, maybe clean out your intake/maf , that's a cheap job.
