Very cool! I got my car mostly back together after a Winter's worth of mods and managed to drive it around the block yesterday without incident.

And today - SNOW!

 

Lol., nice driving today. I especially enjoyed the spin.

 

Hey guys :]
so im kinda new to this form stuff but i noticed you guys are all from Michigan. i live in the Macomb township area.

i was wondering if you guys know anywhere to get mods done to your rx8's

 

What exactly are you looking to get done?

 

I'd be looking at getting a turbo kit installed and tuned

 

Ah Thanks!.. Is this my instructor? haha

 

.

 

anyone here own the sunlight silver rx8 with black painted oem wheels that was up at the MSU car show on 4/23

 

Well the only rotary specific shop I know of is chips motor sports and from what I've read on here, they do good work. Hopefully someone else will chime in and help you out more.

 

Thanks for the referral..
Chip U

 

sites down?

 

Nope,,,its working ..

 

hmm still does not work for me...
i cant even ping it.

 

Yea its up, not sure why is not coming up on your end.

 

Works for me too. (using Explorer)

 

Checking in here. Didn't even go this far down on the sub-forums lol.

 

Checking in. Just bought my 8 in March. Drove down to Ohio to snag it, super clean GT with nav and only had 44k miles on it. Anyway, looking to meet some more 8 owners and get an idea of who knows what that are doing concerning shops in the area. I'm in Clinton township/macomb area.

 

Found a screw in my rear tire this morning. Belle tire won't fix it because they say it's too close to the sidewall. The tires are almost brand new and a new one will run me 280. And I need to fix it by sunday. I kind of think belle tire is just trying to sell me a new tire. There is a good half inch from the screw to the sidewall.

 

If you have the OEM RE-40's, I have a couple spare useable ones that I'll likely never use. I think I'll be in Detroit area Sat evening or could maybe arrange an earlier dropoff. Tip: See what the tire goes for on Tirerack.com - go through the order process without pushing the pay button and print out that invoice. Discount Tire will match that price, which will save a bunch of money. If you want to mount one of mine temporarily until you can get a new replacement at a decent price, that's ok too. I know you want to get out with the group to Grand Ledge on Sunday. Tread depths are 7 & 9/32nds.

 

Thank you but they are Michelin Pilots. I ended up taking it to an independent tire shop and had it patched. The owner told me he guarantees the patch for the life of the tire and I shouldn't worry about it at all. So hopefully, it will be ok.
