Hey, im new to this site, but would love to meet up with others in the area that love their Rx8s. Let me know how this shizit goes down.

 

welcome stew, where exactly are you from?

 

I am from the Greensburg area, like 30 minutes outside of Pittsburgh...

 

ahh...I'm from Uniontown, i guess we're not too far from eachother.

 

Guess not, u ever out in the Greensburg, Irwin, Latrobe areas? Wondering if i had ever seen ya on the road...What kinda Rx8 have you got?

 

Not really, I venture through there from time to time, but I don't frequent any of those places. I'm driving a Black with the mazdaspeed kit, clear corners, painted side vents and painted calipers.

 

Nice choice, almost bought one exactly like that. Have never seen one like it on the road though...

 

Well hopefully everyone from the area can meet up soon so we can check out eachothers' rides.

 

Welcome to the group, Stew!

 

Thanks, anyone in the area have suggestions on how to improve their rides in the snow, as in which snow tires work well and are most cost effective, I am getting tired of having to drive my eclipse due to the snow...

These come HIGHLY recomended by me.

 

I heard those were the best...

 

They're also one of the cheaper tires for our cars.

 

It seems that most people that drive their 8 in the snow end up getting winter tires. I take a different route...I drive my truck.

 

this might be in thew wrong thread but i have a set of unused winter tires that fit the stock rims....theyre unused bc i opted for all season. let me knoq if ur interested

 

i'd like to take them off your hands.....give me some details

 

Anyone own the Red with clear corners or the Silver behind Jacks last night(friday) in the southside?

 

Anyone up for meeting soon? I'm for the next time the weather is good.

 

I've got a red without clear corners and was at Jacks on Friday. Just say when for the next meet.

 

I'm ready for a meet.

 

Just got mine out of storage...I'm up for a meet as well

 

April 6th the West Penn RX-7 Club is having a meet up, possibly a dyno day too. They haven't posted a location yet, but i'll keep you all updated.

 

I'd be interested in a meet too...i dont have the 8 anymore, but i'd love to see what you guys have done with yours. I'm still happy with the MS6, but everytime i see an RX-8 i think about the old ti-gray machine. ....memories....

pghRX8, did you replace it with something?

 

MS6 - Mazdaspeed 6. The 8 was rear ended back in december...pretty banged up. I ended up trading it in for the speed6. im really happy with the new ride, the power is awesome and the handling is very close to the 8....its also a lot more practical, but it doesnt look as good as the 8...thats for sure
