Nebraska/Iowa guys, check out starcityracing.com, its Lincoln forum. As far as I know, im the only 8 on the forum. Come join, it would be great to have a couple more 8s. Make sure you make a noob post first, hazing will ensue at first.

niesz185 10-28-2010 09:15 PM

Anyone from lincoln got a black 8 on black wheels? some auto mall sticker on top of windshield? saw it other day at a local motocross track. jw.

WhiteSnowflake8 10-28-2010 10:31 PM

WhiteSnowflake8 10-30-2010 06:19 PM

jasonrxeight 03-13-2011 03:50 AM

just took my R3 out yesterday and today and have been taking her out a couple times after the roads cleared up.
I saw a silver S1 today making a uturn on Pacific and 72nd.

40thanniversaryrx8 03-14-2011 03:16 PM

It's got a fair chance. I understand there's a Corvette Club contingent who have the ear of a few senators. There's also the money saving aspect that can help sell it. They only have to pay to make one plate, but they'll still charge you as much as they did when they had to provide two. We'll see.:dunno:

So is mine. Probably not out for another month or so. Working on a few things to get it ready. But if you guys ever get together and want to include other rotaries let me know. I know of a few others who might join you.

Sweepers will be out in force this coming week around Bellevue. Then we need one good "gully washer" thunderstorm to clean up the rest. I'm most concerned about catching rocks in the windshield and beating up the front end.

40thanniversaryrx8 03-21-2011 03:16 PM

the neighborhood has been swept and new wheels put on :)....i think a rotary meet wouldbe even better than just 8's.

AC0KG 03-23-2011 04:24 PM

Yesterday must have been a nice evening for a drive in Omaha, I saw three other 8's cruising on Dodge.

One of you with some power need to show up that guy in the pretty red RSX with carbon fiber fenders, he spanked me at a light the other day :D

I did drive up to omaha from lincoln yest. About 5pm-ish. Was only on dodge briefly....... the roads still have plenty of potholes :mad::mad: I was literally "dodging" them....

jasonrxeight 03-26-2011 06:54 PM

damn weather. I dont like wet roads.

40thanniversaryrx8 03-27-2011 02:01 PM

any of you guys ever race any SS cobalts? i beat one pretty bad the other day but my car is bone stock...poor cobalt.

jasonrxeight 03-30-2011 06:57 PM

Ive seen many SS colbalts at autocrossing. those things are quick.

jasonrxeight 04-01-2011 09:36 PM

just saw a black RX8 on the road today.

D1sclaimer 04-08-2011 11:27 PM

Does anyone know of a tool who drives a turbocharged blue RX8 in Omaha?

I would like to speak to him about:

1. Him driving like an asshat tailgating, doing burnouts behind me, and passing me on a double solid yellow line 2 lane road.

2. Him almost crashing after he blew past a stop sign at 100+ mph.

3. Him getting his shit pushed in by my car on spring pressure.

i can already tell this guy is gonna give me a bad reputation when i finally get my car out here.

P.S. i just got a job in Nebraska with OPPD.

40thanniversaryrx8 04-11-2011 04:51 PM

hey guys..any of you from Omaha have turbo set ups? im curious as to where you took your 8 to get work done. only place i know of is Sublime but they have a bad track record and ive heard of them screwing people over.

nuke0907 04-12-2011 06:49 AM

Lol I'm pretty sure that was me. Right by NFM wasn't it? I'm from lincoln and I'm still a noob to the site but I've had my 05 GT for 2 years. I guess I didn't think to check for nebraska owner's til now.

yea, around that area. one intersection before NFM. the silver car made a uturn on the inside left turn lane, I was on the outside.

WhiteSnowflake8 04-14-2011 12:47 AM

if you guys happen to know anybody that wants an rx8 lmk!! got a good deal..

I also want to let you guys know, Steve Kan will be coming here next month. There will be a dyno day at $75 an hr and he will do tunes too. 200 down payment. It is 15 minutes north of me, Center Point IA.

bobbyb 04-29-2011 06:56 PM

watsup im new to this site from i live 30 min away from omaha i always see a silver eight driving around west o it looks pretty sick... and since im new i found one problem with my car when it still had the old tires on it i could burn out no problem now with my new tires ( goodwrench gforce tires) its got some wheel hop so is it just tires or could it be something else

elitheiceman 05-28-2011 12:03 AM

Anybody gonna take their 8 down O street in Lincoln this weekend? That would be cool to get a group together.

vX-2 05-28-2011 09:56 AM

I can. How many more guys?

jasonrxeight 06-26-2011 11:54 AM

I have seen a lot of RX8's recently. maybe its time to have a meet up?

40thanniversaryrx8 06-27-2011 12:11 PM

yes.

bobbyb 07-04-2011 03:39 PM

I dont think the cobalt ss are quick anyways i seen like a 01 cavalier beat one it was kind of sad lol i felt bad for the ss
but i hope theres not a whole bunch of people with 8s around here now our cars are still kindof exotic in this area if we have to many it will be just like another mustang driving down the road

nuke0907 07-07-2011 03:02 AM

i finally got my car here a little over a week ago now. i still have to sort out some things to get it running, but are any of you guys interested in meting up somewhere?

bobbyb 07-08-2011 08:03 PM

thatd be cool,, anyone get theres turbo'd yet if so which kind and what are the specs?

nuke0907 07-09-2011 01:09 AM

Mine is turbo, but not current running. Search for my build thread.

jasonrxeight 07-17-2011 09:20 AM

July 24th, Lincoln NRSCCA. anyone going? I am.
http://www.nrscca.com/events.php?id=184

Airmans8 07-21-2011 12:41 PM

Hey I'm not new to Omaha but new to the 8. Always up for a meet. Just shoot a PM if any one is interested.

40thanniversaryrx8 07-21-2011 04:37 PM

i think someone needs to grab the reigns and set a date and time. if we can't get enough 8's i got a brother with an STI and he meets with the subie dudes frequently...maybe we could join them? rather have an 8 meet tho.

Airmans8 07-21-2011 07:59 PM

Would any of y'all be up for something like a Saturday night cruise or maybe grab coffee Sunday morning?
