Was actually gonna put the money into my race tire fund.

 

Thanks for the tip.

Now.... Look out the window.

 

LOL! I just got back from playing in the snow. The 8 does great donuts even with all-season tires!

 

Dr- Just buy some sandbags and you'll be fine.

 

Wow, that just makes you want to slug the little a--hole doesn't it?
Its really sad because there's nothing you can do except sell your story to bondo body filler for a testimonial.
I hope the little jerk ends up in prison.

 

Didn't need any sandbags, I'm sportin' Blizzaks... The dudes in their 4WD trucks had NUTHIN' on me... The snow today was a non-event for my '8.

Saw a stationary 350Z slewing about on St. Charles Rock Rd today, blocking traffic, thankfully right behind the point where I merged in off Lindbergh. Looked like he could've used some sandbags... Or a tow truck.

 

Blizzaks here too. Our biggest problem was lugging along at 3 mph until space was open. Zoom-zoom.

 

Not me .........I got stuck 2x yesterday. Trying to drive out of my developement (uphill). Ended up just stayin home. I did not have any sandbags.

 

I had to drive the old woman's 2006 Civic Ex to work 2 days in a row. The RX8 was stuck for 2 days in my apartment complex parking lot. I got her back on the road tonite. Man I love that car I just got her a week ago.

 

Congrats on the purchase! You'll have to show her off a bit when the weather warms up and we find an excuse to get the other local 8'ers together for a meet-n-greet.

 

Next month is autox! We need a big 8 showing. And maybe Bill can win so we look good too!

 

Oh crap!! I need to order my tires! I have to also get the suspension stripped before April 8th for the test & tune, then have the car all ready by the 15th (the first event of the season). Hopefully I can squeak out a first place for my birthday!

Anyone have a few hours they'd like to spend helping to take apart my suspension?

 

Thanks! I cant wait just let me know when and where. waterlogged, are you in stl?

 

Yeah, in the suburbs. Good ol' O'Fallon, MO.

 

Waterlogged I will gladly help you get the car ready for the track..............any day you want to have a garage day is good for me. I need to clean the K&N anyway.

 

I'm up for it waterlogged, just not next weekend though. I figure I owe you some time in the garage, let alone the lunches you've spotted me during the down time I had.

 

Thanks guys. The next couple of weekends definitely won't be happening for me either. I'm right in the middle of championship swimming season and that's taking all my weekends. But I'll make sure to beg for your time either the second or third weekends in March.

 

I'm down H2O

 

Hey,

I am a new owner of RX8 in St.Louis. ( I am original from Poland-studying here). I just would like to say hello to RX8 owners in St.Louis.

From your posts I can see that your are caming for the track? Whats the date?

 

There are two PDX (Performance Driving Experience) track days this summer. June 3rd and August 25th. Information can be found at www.stlscca.org. The cost for one is $225 and to do both is $385. I'll most likely be attending both.

There's also a bunch of autocrosses that several RX-8'ers and I will be hitting this year. More info can be found at www.stlsolo.org .

Hopefully we can have a meet and greet beforehand and we can all chat about what's in store for 2007.

Welcome!!!

 

I
am
so
there!

I've skipped out too much already; I'm meeting up at these fo sho.

 

Thx a lot!! Most likely that I will be there. Thank you for the information.
I guess I will put invisible bra all around my car heheh so I will not have any chips after the track hehe

See ya soon.

 

The biggest problem I had with getting stuff on my car was when an early 90's Corvette blew a radiator hose right in front of me when I was trying to pass him. It made a mess of my windshield and the back half of the infield of the track got a bit slippery.

Otherwise the track is usually in pretty good shape. Just watch out for the little rough spot in the braking zone prior to turn 2. Scary fun!

 

hehehe ok

 

Guess I'll have to break down and get me a helmet. How does yellow with a black stripe sound, you know...to keep the theme going?
