Hey everyone. Just recently got my 8. Don't see many around michigan, and was wondering where the other owners are. Any cruises or shows?

Fenton, Mi

 

Not a ton seeing as it's only warm, what about 2 months a year?! We should get something together for this spring though, I do know there are quite a few of us out there.

I'm in Dearborn.

 

My RX8 has been stored since the beginning of November and I am itching to get it out since the warm weather. These winters are tough, probably wont bring it out until April.
I am in the Lake Orion / Auburn Hills area.

 

2005 Shinka here in Commerce Twp. Used to ride my motorcycle out to Fenton, nice town, nice scenery......especially going through Rose, Holly, etc on the way out there.

 

2005 Winning Blue in Ferndale....

Been fun doing donuts in parking lots....

 

2004 Red in Troy. Look for the Yakima Bike rack on top.

 

04 Nordic Green in Rochester Hills here.....but....she hasn't woken up from her winter sleep just yet. I expect her to come out of hibernation in April.

 

2004 Blue in Troy...still in hibernation...wake me in a few weeks, please

 

My cousin was telling me that he has seen like 3 in Grand Blanc in the last month. It's crazy, cause I only knew of 1 and he was an older guy that never drove it. I guess I'm not that special anymore.

 

04 in Wixom just bought it last Tuesday.

 

05 in Rochester, Drove mine this winter with Dunlop Winter sport tires.
Wasn't to bad to me.

 

Hey Teva - Where abouts in Rochester are u? I'm just north of OU - Walton and Adams......

Were you are the Chicken Shack a week or so ago? (Silver?) My wife and I were eating there and a silver pulled in for a carry-out.

My 8 is waking up from hibernation.....just got an oil change and the battery is charging right now. I expect to start driving again this week!!!!! (weather in the upper 60's - its about time!)

 

Owned since mid March (or should that be "pwned"? ). Gonna be (is) my daily driver. Will get some winter tires, but not a prob, been driving all kinds of wicked vehicles in MI for over 25 years . . .

 

What is the correct procedure to store the vehicle during the winter??? Is there one???
Or just park it and re-start it in april or so? Do you have to drive it every 2 weeks??? 4 weeks???

 

Hi guys,

I'm the new owner of an '05 Sunlight Silver. Love everything about except the awful Bridgestone OEM tires that are on it (and will soon be gone). Too much noise and uneven wear! Otherwise - an awsome vehicle!

Love to do some kind of Detroit-area get together soon, like the MIMIata group has, maybe.

Strange.... I thought that the 05 models came with Dunlop tires.... I guess it depends on built date....
I have the Dunlop SP Sport 8090... WOW>..... these are REALLY good tires....
But I was also looking into getting (in the future) the Yokohama ADVAN Neova's.
These are supposed to be even BETTER!!!

 

04 titanium gray out of livonia up for whatever goes down had mine about 3 weeks now and i love everything except for those dame tires lol road noise is terrible getting some new ones this week then everything will be just perfect.

 

It may be that they came with Dunlop tires - I found out that the dealer replaced the tires at about 9000 miles. That means these Bridgestone tires have something like 10K on them which REALLY speaks poorly of them (and the previous owner/driver) since they are worn badly and unevenly making them really loud! Now I just have to decide what to replace them with. There are a lot of different opinions about that on these boards!
