damn my perfect eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lLet's have a group meeting I need some new parts... :angel:

What are you looking at doing Turkey?

I just want to get some ideas, on what each car has or how it looks. Right now I am deciding what type of rear spoiler to get. Or maybe some type of exhaust system. I will be going oversea to see If i can make some costums part.. :Eyecrazy:

Ah... I may have a spoiler to sell soon that has never been used.

I am waiting on a carbon fiber one that is coming in this next week. ;)

anyone have some strakes i can borrow for about two weeks?

We will plan a meet soon, once the weather warms up a bit.

hey everyone, i'm looking at getting the smoked (dark) vinyl covers for my tail lights. ive seen them on our car and they look nice especially with have a black car. i just want to know if anyone has done this yet in MN and if i will be hassled by the cops a lot if i do it?

thanks for any feed back

also if they look cheap?

Yea I got a fix-it ticket for no front plate last summer. I even tried telling the cop that it would be covering my radiator if i put it there, even though I know theres no radiator there, but he said he didnt care and I needed to put one on anyway. But he never said anything about my exhaust, which has no cat.

JPotta,

yeah i got a verbal warning for not having my front plate on and having it in my windshield and he said my back windows were too dark even though i bought it stock like that. i drive by and have been next to cops pretty much every day and they never do anything he was just looking for something to do. do you know of anyone that has bought the smoked vinyl kits for the tail lights to make them black and if so do they look nice/cheap? i want to get them but i dont know what they are going to look like and if ill be hassled by the cops. i was looking for actual smoked tail lights but i dont think they are made yet for our cars. or at least have a black insert and to take out the chrome on the inside of the light fixture would be nice.

I believe as long as a the lights can be seen when on it shouldn't be a problem.

I have an extra set of tail lights that I plan on painting a light tint on. ;)

:confused:

Why do you need to borrow strakes for a couple of weeks?

Ah you are going to make some... I see. :D:

bingo :rock:

Or if I can just have it for a day. I'll trace trace it.

Mark Do you have an extra set I can borrow?

What type of spoiler do you have? Is it a after market one? :banghead:

turbo mount bracket,
downpipe,
Ram air,
Battery mount

It is an Evo-R.net trunk lip spoiler. :)

I'm from MN and looking to buy an RX-8. Anyone have experience with the local dealers (Morrie's, Walser, Luther) and have any recommendations?

I got mine at Walser in Burnsville..There prices were decent and the sales/service folks were nice. The only real a-holes were the finance people.. (which is typical of all dealerships in my experience).

Test drive a car, if you buy it, put down a small deposit and get your own financing (or if new, try to go through Mazda.. _STAY AWAY_ from the dealers financing!)

When I went looking for my car Morries ignored me.. I never tried Luther.

You forgot Polar (White Bear Lake)

I purchased mine from Polar Mazda and was happy with how it went.

They give the up front pricing which is great if you aren't sure where the pricing should be. ;)

If you stop and grab a card from one of the reps I think it entitles you to another $100 off the price. :D:

I like the service and parts departments at Luther Mazda.

I have test drove cars there but haven't purchased. :dunno:

We get 10 or 15% off of service and 20% off of parts there. :cool:

If you are looking at Morrie's ask for Neal.
If you like, give him a buzz at work 952-797-1132 he is a sales consultant.
He is on our local site if you want to message him: Hepcat's info

Since i live in southeastern mn the closest respectable dealer to me is Morries in eauclaire. I have all of my service done there. I can honestly say that they are awesome! They do a great job and are very easy to work with. BTW last time I was there they had a Red RX-8 with the touring package, everything but the nav. for 22,000!!!

I bought mine at Morries Mazda in Minnetonka off of 394. The sales reps, finance people, and the service center are all really good. Although they really dont like to negotiate prices on cars. they pretty much stick to what they have on the car. but, i think a lot of companies are going to where its one set price. i know that dodge does that. But, they were pretty good when i went in.
