Nebraska/Iowa Owners?
 
Anyone in Nebraska with an eight? I've seen alot around just trying to figure if any of those are members here on the board.

I live in Omaha and we had a meet this summer with a few Mitsubishi owners. I'd like to get more meets set up this summer and maybe a few autocross days at Mid America Center or Lincoln Airport.

So Nebraska/Iowa people report in and I'd like to gauge interest in a meet once the weather warms up.

I'm always up for a meet.

Check here http://www.findtheline.com/ for track day info. We need more 8s!

Zerotide 12-16-2008 10:33 AM

Got a nice blanket of snow here in Lincoln... hopefully the roads are cleared before my final tonight.

chuck rx-8 01-03-2009 12:33 PM

Always down for a meet. Went to a few last year and I think we need to get more 8's together. Ive seen more around town and maybe we just need to spread the word more. I know there are people who dont even know that this site exsists. I know that I didnt. The only way I new is because someone with an 8 approached me. COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!:jump: Lets spread the word.

I got my last set of rt- 615s from http://www.vulcantire.com/

WhiteSnowflake8 01-09-2009 04:37 PM

Im from iowa and our scene is kind of lame, pretty much gave up on meeting. Though im working on some track days for people that want to race. Though this aren't races..
You should check out Evolv or other surrounding areas.

vX-2 01-18-2009 11:04 AM

Just let me know... I'm in lincoln, NE... every now and then, I drives up to Omaha... I think I've seen the red Rx-8 b4 while driving on I-80, but I was in a rented car driving back from Minnesota... Will be going up to Omaha on Feb 7th... Just let me know, if I'm free, I'll attend the meet-up

CyberPitz 01-19-2009 10:44 AM

Would be nice to get a meet going somewhere in the middle of us, like around KC or something. I'd definitely be down for that. I usually head up to NE for the holidays, as that's where the family is. I can only do that 6 hour drive so many times haha.

chrizknot 01-19-2009 03:58 PM

25 OUTLAW 02-12-2009 07:25 PM

Omaha
 
Just purchased an 07 rx-8 with 4,000 miles on it. I would be in on a meeting.

midlife crisis 02-13-2009 03:58 PM

Staticlag-- Missed you at the Solo meets here in Lincoln last season. You really need to try the new airport area!

WoodsOfGreenRx8 02-13-2009 06:21 PM

Got an Omaha RX8. Probably not for long though. Anyone want a set of Volks & tires? heh. or a whole RX8?

staticlag 03-11-2009 02:42 PM

Bump, one month till track day http://www.findtheline.com/

exigent 03-20-2009 03:18 PM

Sioux City, IA here. I may be game... I've got some old friends up around around 142nd.

Zerotide 03-24-2009 11:51 AM

Okay well since the weather is getting warmer I might try to plan an Omaha meet for anyone in the surrounding areas. Since RX8s are kinda scarce I might invite other Mazdas as well.

Go for it!

Zerotide 04-21-2009 09:50 PM

So I'm gonna start tryin to gauge interest for a Nebraska/Iowa meet... probably open to all Mazdas.

What location would you guys like... Zorinsky or Chalco are always good bets.

staticlag 04-21-2009 11:26 PM

I really like chalco.

Answer to other question: winning blue.

WhiteSnowflake8 04-21-2009 11:40 PM

I got a Dyno day going for may 30th in Des moines ia

vX-2 04-22-2009 10:57 AM

I have no idea where are both Zorinsky or Chalco :uhh::uhh:

Zerotide 04-22-2009 11:17 AM

Hi there vX-2... I actually live in Lincoln right now for college. What color 8 do you drive I haven't seen any other 8s down there except for another red one.

Chalco is on 156th and Giles which is not far from the Sapp Bros. exit of I80.

Zorinsky has entrances on 156th and 168th between Q and Center... the main one is on 156th and R or something like that.

Hi Zero,

I drive a Dark Green Mica Rx-8. You should be able to spot me around the Antelope Valley Drive, Around the Stadium, and probably 13th & W.

There are quite a number of 8s that I've seen actually. There were 2 silvers, 1 yellow, 1 Red, 1 same color with mine (but texas plate) and another 1 with blue. And a new 2009 Rx-8 (white) that always around 27th street of walmart parking lot.

I think they're just not aware of the rx8club websites. LoLz

We could met up sometime if you want as I'm living near UNL also.

WhiteSnowflake8 04-23-2009 12:18 PM

a white 2009?? For real?? get pics! I havent seen one besides the ms edition.

Zerotide 04-24-2009 04:58 PM

Hah I have seen that white 09 on 27th as well. I actually live sorta near that wal-mart. I'm at 27th and Fletcher. And I know who you are talking about probably with the winning blue 8 but he sold it and I don't think its in Lincoln anymore.

If you wanna cruise sometime lemme know.

I might have seen your green 8 in the parking lot of Hy-Vee on 27th... do you ever go there? It was night and it took me a few minutes of staring before I could tell it was actually a nordic green and not a black haha

Haha! That could be some fun. I think I have seen your car. The friends I am staying with live in Two Springs 2, and I see a red 8 every day over here. I have also seen one on the base...at the gym a few times. Is that you? We are literally right around the corner here....my buddy has a grey rx8 and my white one is sitting in the driveway, about to be washed...again.

Damn dirty streets!:icon_no2:

chrizknot 05-22-2009 06:00 PM

yea i have the red 8 with the black wheels on base

Copy from Iowa thread:
SO GI guys:
I have following parts i want to sell. I have to get some stock parts before i can take off though.

Agency Powers:
Sway bars 250
End Links 200
Pulley 120
Exhaust 500

I can meet people half way or just pick it up. Car has a potential buyer so returning to stock will help me more.

omaha8 07-14-2009 11:33 AM

rxwarrior 10-22-2009 01:32 AM

Nebraska City here. I've had my '04 VR for about a month now. Bought it from Woodhouse Omaha. My asap mod list: tint, have my sub and amp installed, get a few dents pounded out, aero kit. The wife and I are in Omaha or Lincoln every weekend cuz there ain't shat to do here. Goin to the Husker/Cyclones game this Saturday:ylsuper:

midlife crisis 10-22-2009 06:42 PM

I still have my '04 winning blue. It spends lots of time in my garage in the Highlands except for road trips, autocross and some weekends.
You guys really ought to come out for the autocross events. Everyone is very welcoming and I'm getting tired of being the only one in BS at the small meets.

I Might have bumped into ur car b4

Signal 2 10-23-2009 02:32 PM

Have a red FD 7 here. Don't come on much, but if you guys get something organized before snow flys, I might be interested...if 7's would be welcome. I also have a friend who recently bought an 8 and he needs to learn about the car.

See your car frequently along Capehart. I live near the base. The red looks great with those wheels.

I'm going. But not driving the FD.

vX-2 10-25-2009 01:05 AM

Ouwh... that was your car ? :eek:
I actually tailed u once b4 at downtown lincoln (Walgreens and Wellsfargo intersection). You made a left turn and I went straight though. There was a girl/women in it as well. LoL !

Signal 2 10-25-2009 07:09 AM

AFAIK, I'm currently the only red FD around here so that was probably me. And I travel down to Lincoln occasionally. That would have been my daughter... she a sophomore at UNL.
Sorry we didn't meet.

CyberPitz 11-17-2009 10:54 AM

I'll be making a trip up north probably in early January to Yutan/Plattsmouth for the whole Christmas thing, so if there is anything going down around that time, I could just take an extra day and hit the get together or lunch or whatever. :lol:
