CONGRADULATIONS!!! AND WELCOME TO THE CLUB!
Sounds like my car has a twin! I have a Black on Black Six-Speed with navigation.
The car club is my car club, not a rotary specific club, and all are welcome. We would love to have you come and join us.
We had a great meet last week with our largest rotary showing ever of three RX8's. But, we had about 15 cars. We meet at shortpump cause we got kicked out of basicly everywhere else. But its a good group of folk. People drive down from DC and from MD just to come.
But, you have had your car less time and you have more miles then Chirox8 has on his! Congrats!
Look forward to hearing more about your 8!

Don't remember what the mileage was, but I'll check and see what it and some of the mods are on friday morning if you want.

Is that one the one with the 18" white Volk Racing TE37 wheels? I saw it but didn't stop to look.

We don't stand around our cars, we go in and get some nice hot starbucks and head up to the food court, plenty of seating there.
The mall cops don't like us hanging around our cars anyway.

Nice name! Did you get it on your plate?
Can't wait to see your 8. What kind is it?
Who are you getting to paint your kit?

Okay, saw a Titanium on Genito just before Brandermill about 11:30am, and then a Lightning Yellow on 360 headed west this afternoon. Anyone here?
Also saw two vipers (one twice) and an NSX. Apparently Southside has the nice cars in Richmond now!

My 8 is stock. I will but 17 inch tires on it in the spring with a RE-AMEMIYA exhaust and mid pipe.
I will aslo put a cold air intake on it. But, I am waiting for Rotary Extreme to finish their RAM AIR INTAKE for it.
So, untill the spring, no major changes. I am not a cosmetics person either. So, I am not going to put a body kit on it or anything.
Of course it varies week from week with the meet. So, usualy we meet up at the mall, then hit a bar or something after words.
Can't wait to see your 8.

Keep your 8s in the garage!!!!
I was coming back from Williamsburg this afternoon and, by the time I hit the Richmond area, there was an inch or so of snow on the road.
I had read the RX-8 was not good in snow but I guess I didn't truly understand. The stock tires/wheels are terrible, I could not keep the car stable no matter how carefully I drove. I had to get off 64 at Laburnum (couldn't keep up speed) and eventually gave up all together as 15 mph down laburnum was still unsteady. I might have made it home if there were absolutely no other cars on the road, but that was not the case.
No damage but I ended up parking my RX-8 at a friend's house in North side and got a lift back to Midlothian.
When they say the stock Bridgestones are "Summer Tires" they mean it!
