Yah it looked like a red only even ehehe.

No sunlight silvers represented. :( ... or black?

Next meet I can almost guarantee I'll be there.

next meet we'll have three turbo car. summer meet we'll have 4 turbo car hahaha lol

You are forgetting someone, me! :lol: It will be ready by summer. Just waiting till after a certain trip.

oh yah ahahah !!! Dammmmmmmmmmmmm that'll be 5 turbo rx8 all over 300whp
in MN

Random question for you turbo guys...
 

How big of a mpg difference do you have? I know we run rich at the top end already (not enough for a turbo I do not think). Just curious as to what the mpg vs. extra hp difference is?

I haven't really keep track of it. It should not be that much of a difference depending on your driving habbits

Makes it all the more impressive...
 

That is kind of what I figured...makes it all the more impressive--a) the hp gain for the cost and b) the lack of real increase in everyday fuel consumption.
I am glad to see the thread on the turbo kit expanding all the time, and the great positive feedback of those who have bought it. Good work!!

Hey people, I've been in crusing around blaine but I go downtown all the time in the summers black rx8 I've seen a few others in coon rapids area.

I saw you in Anoka a while back.

:)
:icon_tup:

I should see you around Blaine more often since that is where I live. ;)

MNSC Autoshow Meet on March 8th. As usual, we will meet up at Perkins on 394/Louisiana in Golden Valley and caravan downtown to the Minneapolis convention center. Afterwards we will be grabbing a late lunch/early dinner at TGI Friday's off of 394. Check the events forum for more details.

i'd love to go but i have drill for the army that weekend :(

cool, there probably won't be a lot of rx8 there. Maybe other sports compact.

March 8th huh? hmmmI was planning a different date..

Yea Sport compact meet is independent of the MN RX8 club...not sure what I can make it too. I'm definitely going though since my brother's car is on its deathbed and somehow because I work with cars all day they thing I should help in the decision making, crazy talk I tell yah, crazy.

lol Jason, just tell him to get an rx8...

my thoughts as well!!!

He is a med student...he can't afford it right now :D

i'll sell him mine...cause i'm leaving for basic in july :) i'll just buy a manual when i get back :)

hey guys i have a question for ya. i'm 18, senior in highschool and i live in small town of clara city MN. Couple hours west of the Cities and i'm havin trouble finding a nice car for prom. see around here our prom is more based on what car you come rolling up in. now last year i searched for an rx8 but like what i'm finding in this forum there isn't many around. i currently own an 03 mzdspeed protege which i baby. it's a nice car but nothing compared to an rx-8 plus everyone has seen it so it's nothing new.

if any of you would be willing to "rent" your 8 for a day or 2 to make my prom one to remember it would be greatly appriciated! i AM WILLING TO PAY! for the innconvience! you will also get a free hand wash, wax and polish! and i will pay for gas!
thank you, Chris Zimmer

the date will be May 2nd

There is a big risk in lending someone your car.

The insurance.

The wear and tear.

This is probably a tough stretch but you can buy a used RX-8 for less than $20,000

now. Have your dad buy it for you. :)

put 20s on your MS Protege ;)

it is prom...don't worry about the car...make sure you have the right (hot) girl and a box of condoms

i bought my own car. pay for insurance and pay for gas. i know how to respect a car for i do all the work on it myself. it's already sittin on 18in motegi's, dropped to the ground with a buddyclub kit.

i figured there would be someone out there that would be cool enough to lend over a car for a day and get it detailed and a free tank of gas.

For those that can't make it on the 8th. I have a mini get together going on the 11th the CC for the autoshow. So far we have my RX8, my buddy's silver RX8, a 07 STi, a 08 Mustang. Kinda mix of cars...haha..

Autoshow....
 

I have weekday discount coupons ($2 off) here at work. For those going, swing by and pick some up!! I will be there in the Mazda booth as well on Tuesday and Thursday night, so if you are there stop and say hi!
