Steve- Let me know if you need help getting the car back together.

 

Jon - Probably next weekend... still waiting on the gasket to arrive. This weekend I have a whole upstairs and 5 gallons of oil based primer. . .

TJ: Clutch is getting welded today. . . it'll be ready tonight. Let me know your plans.

 

okay well my dad is coming to get the car from toledo tonight, but i need to know what day this weekend we can get together cuz my dad said he really only wants to come get it if we can put it together before i have to leave sunday night.

okay the only two things then are: how much do you want for it, and where do you wanna work on the cars. it doesnt matter where but we only have the trailor for 24 hours so if its gonna be somewhere far he's gonna get the car saturday then.
but just let me know.

 

TJ, can you swing by and pick up the part to take to steve with you? doc

 

just wanna say hello to all the cleveland area 8 owners. just got an 8 last week. been seeing alot of them in my area now.

 

Doc,

Our plan is that Jon and I are going up to TJ's to install the clutch on Sunday night. We're going to be up there between 5-7... depends on how quick I get outta my hockey game.

Welcome! We're a pretty active club and can help with pretty much issue you have.

What year and color is yours? Mods? plans?

 

Welcome. Tell us a little about yourself.

Let me know what time and where and I'll swing by to tell you you're doing it wrong. Or you can swing by my house and pick it up. TJ isn't too far from my house.

 

Doc - We'll be up there by 6 or 7. I have to run to Northridgeville also.

Let me know.

 

What you need from Ridgeville Steve? Ill be over there tomorrow to visit with the fam and see my grandfather in the hospital. Need me to swing by and pick something up for ya?

btw...welcome newb

 

Welcome wheellee... what city are you located at?

 

I'm purchasing wheels from "deadman" on the cleveland6club. If you want to pick them up and spot me the cash and I'll pick them up for you. Let me know. . .

 

What wheels are you getting Steve?

I'm still looking for 17x9s

My kids go home at 7. Email me the address, I'll swing by after.

 

i made an intro post https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/new-rx8-owner-cleveland-190257/

i bought a 2005 titanium grey RX8. it just turned 34k miles yesterday. there are pics of it in the intro thread i started.

i live in south euclid but work out painesville.

 

Read your profile. Nothing like posting on the internet to the whole world that you're hung over!

My office is in Lyndhurst, stop by and say hi! 5533 Mayfield Rd.

 

Steve, call me when you are on your way there and we'll figure out how late you'll be.

 

texted u TJ's address

I just got some Rotas for daily driving duties (i'm really tired of the stock wheels)

Normal fit - 18x8s.

I'm using those gold Koseis for the autocross, but they're 17x8, but only like 15 lbs

I'll send you links to 17x9s as I come across some that fit. . .

 

nothing wrong with being hung over, as long as you can remember what you did the night before. is your office the ones right before richmond rd? if so your about a mile from my house. i live right off mayfield rd by green rd

 

w00t w00t...another east sider...

Steve - txt me how much I would need to spot you for the pickup.

 

I'm closer to Brainard.

 

i gotta go do some grocery shopping now anyways so if your there and wanna check out the car i can stop by. might even be able to explain a few things about it to me.

 

I'll be back in that office on Tuesday. I have another office in Geauga Cty I'll be at Monday.

 

You are free to ask any questions you want here without needing a flame suit. If you need something looked at or can't explain it very well here we can always try and cross paths.

 

im sure we can catch up sometime since we are so close to each other. maybe for happy hour one day after work. have a beer and talk about the cars

 

Well I don't drink and I work through happy hour...other then that...great plan. :D

BTW...18mpg is about right I would think for based on where you are living and the time of year. Once spring hits you will notice that it goes up right before they change out the gas and it drops back down. The 25 hwy number is basically 100% highway driving. When I go down to MidOhio for the Indy and Rolex races I will get about 28mpg...when we went to Indy I was in the 32mpg range and that was 100% highway. Don't get me wrong...some things on the car can lower your gas mileage and you might be able to get a little higher...but with the amount of city driving that you are going to have to do to get to a highway yer hurtin...

 

7 RX8s in the Rolex. Cool. Just starting.

RX8 pace car too!
