The tpms sensors you can find on this forum for pretty cheap (at least a lot cheaper then $120) in the fs section from reputable members, the coolant sensor happened to me while my car was still on b2b warranty so i had it fixed down at the rapid city dealer (they replaced the entire resiviour "sp?"). Most of the people who are out of warranty just disconnect the sensor and check their coolant from time to time.

 

Anyone wanna trade your rx8 rims for my mazdaspeed3 rims 2007 version if ya do I'll send u pix txt me 516-3497

 

crappy cell phone pic

 

It's almost summertime!

 

Doesnt really feel like it yet... I'm still wearing jeans and a sweatshirt everyday.

 

Ah really? It's been like 50-60 up here in minot I've been in shorts haha. This winter sucked.

 

Its been 50 ish here too... but the wind has been 30mph + every day, today is the first non windy nice day and i think its supposed to rain a bunch this afternoon until like monday.

 

FLOOD FIGHT 2011 WOOOO!! Minot is done for

 

Kai, did you drive through J-Town the other day? I saw a red 8 with white rims. Oh btw my clutch went out and blah blah blah. Decided to do it myself and I put the clutch disc in backwards today... not fun.

 

Ummmm i did on the first and the fourth on my way to MN and back, but i have black rims w/ chrome lip so it wasnt me.

Even though you did it wrong the first time at least you learned more about your car lol. I'm contemplating putting an alpine double din in while i still have my 2nd job at an audio/video store, but im paranoid i'll screw up some electronics...

 

Hmm I wonder who it was? As for the electronics, a couple of my friends say it isn't going to be that hard. I actually want to try and remove the nav screen and install a flat screen in its place and then get a dvd player. I have a lot of plans for my car. I'm having my friend Owen do something sick that he's never seen before for my paint job come next year tax returns. The next thing I'm doing is installing puddle lights, it looks easy.

 

haha ya i had tons of plans for my car too... I have done a fair amount over the last couple years.

clear corners
konig rims
blizzaks on stock rims for winter
entire appearance package
mazdaspeed front
new shift boot w/ mazdaspeed ****
painted calipers
all weather floor mats for winter
replaced undertray and wheel wells after a snowbank snapped them

now I know that I'm at the point where if I'm going to do any more i need to start messing with the engine/transmission/suspension.

 

Anyone got an upgraded nav, I'm about to travel to colorado but I have the 04 version

 

nope... I have a touring model so i just use my garmin.

 

So I live out here in Cali now and at my gf's apt complex there is a VR 8 with ND plates....Just thought I'd share....hahahaha

 

there has been a vr driving around my town the last couple days that i haven't seen before... lol and that sucks you're in cali now, I'll be moving to Fargo this weekend lol

 

Hey DustinDT, was your 8 at tintmasters in fargo by chance? Pretty sure i saw it.

 

That it was! She was in to have the slave cylinder release rod fixed.

 

Funny, it's my first saturday free in forever, everyone else is busy for a change and tomorrow there is a tuner gathering in town. Which the tuner gathering wouldn't normally say much but I guess there is a lot of people coming from all over with their cars so it should be fun. So I spent all day cleaning my car, inside and out. Then I go to the gas station and some lady backs into me. Now my bumper is busted and scraped up... not gonna look so good tomorrow haha.

 

haha that sucks man, This tuner gathering is in Jamestown? I'm actually back in dickinson for the weekend putting my car in winter mode.. (stock rims w/ blizzaks and stock bumper back on).

 

Yeah it's in Jamestown today around 7. I'm putting my 8 in a garage for the winter. Gonna be driving either a chevy love or a suburban for the winter. I have blizz tires but I dont want to drive here in the winter. They suck at plowing roads in Jamestown and with my luck some ******* would smash into me.

 

Sioux Falls here. We may be lower than you, but not THAT much lower...so keep me posted.

will do! this thread has kinda died lol lets try not to let it die

 

alright.. im in oregon right now but ill be back in Devils Lake in early may... so i still consider myself ND and I know my 8 thinks the same .. anyway so if we want stuff to talk about here we go.. mr. bun you say next is engine, tran, or suspension.. What do you think you'll start spending money on first?

 

Well other then the current transmission seal issue that im having, prob suspension and if so I would do it this coming up summer.
