I picked up my Silver RX-8 on 2/22/2k4 :cool:. And I still have not seen any other 8's on the road ...yet!

keep your eyes open then! my wife's best freind also is a silver in vancouver!

my 8 is pretty recognizable in Salem. Thursday i am putting in my new seats, Recaro SRD's. Hopefully my new rotora brakes will show up by then too. After all my stuff is installed i plan to do the wednesday meet at the pizza place, until then though i am laying low.:D

Bought couple of montha back but diddn't post. I live in the Hillsboro area. I have seen only 2 8s on the road. Mine's black.
I just got my custom plates.

I live in Hillsboro, too. I have a velocity red with custom plates and borla exhaust. I am always cruisin Evergreen Road. I will look out for you.

I just seen one in my neck of the woods. Do you live around Glencoe Rd or High School?

Also, I have been wondering if anyone on these boards work at Intel Ronler Acres Campus? I have seen a Blue and Titanium Gray in the mornings.

Another8owner. Did you go to the Phoenix Gold friends and family sale on 4/17?
I saw a RX-8 loaded with the aftermarket Mazdaspeed body parts.
I wasn't in my 8 when I went..

I'll be getting mine Saturday 4/24. Silver AT/GT, appearance pkgs, spoiler etc. It's being driven down from Seattle. I live in Lake Oswego and am constantly on 217 and all over Portland. I need to think about a cool custom plate. The first Wednesday's sound fun.

Yesterday, I went to Microsoft area to see Neocln (he is a member here too) so he can check out my Mazdaspeed suspension set-up and test-drive my "L¨ flashed car to see if he can feel the difference. What was exciting was that I ran into 3 other RX-8's within 30 minutes or so (not including Neocln¡¦s red 8). One of them was Nordic Green and we exchanged hand waves. It was so cool to run into so many 8's. I hope there will be an East side or greater Seattle area gathering soon :)

i just got my 8 about 2 weeks ago. ive got 800 miles on it now.

its a M/t, light silver,red/black leather. no mods, loaded with all available packages....36msrp

I just bought a "slightly used" 8 in Renton, WA, with only 2,333 miles on it. I had to drive all the way from Eugene, OR, to get it. I've had it a week now and I can truthfully say, the drive was sooooooo worth it. I love this car!

Also, I really like this website. I learned so much about the car before I bought it so I knew exactly what I was getting.

If you're in Eugene and spot a Velocity Red 6MT GT, it'll probably be me as I've seen no others like it. If I spot you, I'll give you a double high beam blink.

Greetings Spok,

Did you get your 8 at Lithia in Renton? I saw a Red 8 on thier used car lot and did a double take. Very surprising to see a used 8 already. If so, I'm glad it found a good home.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your car like the rest of us here.

Live long and rotor!:)

Congrats Spok. The enjoyment only grows... :D

Thanks Blue87Sport and 93rdcurrent. Yes, the 8 I bought was the one at Lithia Hyundai. I did the "unthinkable" and arranged the purchase sight unseen. After all, how bad could it be after only 2,333 miles.

Well, the previous owner was not exactly what I would call "appreciative" of the 8. I think he even let people eat in it. Gasp! There is some very minor damage; just one little scratch on the front of the hood and some fine scratches that go down to the white primer. Otherwise, it's virtually new and I'm so very happy to have it; especially since I significantly less than what the dealer was asking.

Thanks again for your words of welcome.

Spok

I wonder if that was me in the Nordic Green!
I had similar experience but from inside a Nordic Green.
(Waves to all RX8 owners in NW area). Hope to see you guys on the road.

Hi all,
I just picked up my '04 Titanium Grey 6MT on Monday. Got it at Ron Tonkin in Portland. I'm loving it so far!
-Dave

Welcome to the boards Dave! I'm a Ron Tonkin customer as well. Honk if you see me (Black GT with plates that read "CCJ")

Yep, that was me.

Uhhhhhh...I don't mean to drool or anything, but she is absolutely hot! Not to mention that the photography is very tastefull and well done. Anyways, my .02's worth.

Congrats and welcome to the forum. BTW my wife loves the rasberry lambic the best.

My company works with Norpac Cannery, so I'm frequently there. To my suprise, the plant manager (The guy in charge of everything there.) at Brooks Oregon drove up in one yesterday! Silver 6spd, and and getting a rear wing. Sounds like he's in love with his car. :) CJ

hey all. i live in Seattle and got my rx-8 in september in puyallup. loving every second of it! :D

Hay pkwa

Was that girl in the pics at a studio opening this weekend (5-29)???

My buddy who is a photographer thinks he saw her chained up behind the bar there in the same white latex outfit (she was just over 6' and weighed about a buck 10) :)

Yes, that was her. That is my studio that the party was for. Who is your photographer buddy? there were a few of them there.

I took down a lot of the RX-8 pics with girls, because I got tired of the crap from the others here that act like they are 3 to 4 years old.

hay pkwa....are you patrick......my buddy Tom Crann says HI!!!

Yes, I am Patrick. Some know me as Patrick Andraste

RX-J is changing to "The Overman".
That's me still... And still in the Evergreen State ;)

Hello, just recently found this forum and this thread and wanted to say hi to other NW RX owners. I am not typically in forums but am in the very early stages of modding the car (desperately want more torque) and was doing some research. Hoping to eventually add boost to it, but wary of killing the warranty.

I got my RX-8 @ Royal Moore in Hillsboro only a week after they showed up on the lot and I have loved it despite what I said above. This forum is great, I just wish I found it earlier. Anyway, cya around sometime.

We live in Klamath Falls, OR and just picked up our Winning Blue beauty on June 20, 2004, which happens to be our 6th wedding aniversary. We got the car about 100 miles from home and took the twisty road home and loved every minute of it.

Congrats and welcome to the club. You will enjoy the knowledgeable group on here and hopefully you will find some good information.

welcome dg-rx8 and and ChadeF15. enjoy the cars. :)

Welcome! Klamath Falls huh? I have a buddy who works at the Klamath Co-gen facility. I have been thinking about driving down that way later this summer. What was the twisty road you drove? I'd love to know!

Got mine on the 13th. Loaded titanium 8.

Azhar

Congrats!!! Nice choice in color. :)

Were you at All ABout Eyes at Orenco Station on June 25th? I parked my Red 8 right next to you! Saw your car and I had to park right next to it. Wish I had a camera at the time.
I think we just missed each other. I was in All about eyes wearing a red nike shirt and Angels cap.

I like your custom plate!

Hi All,

Just want to give you guys a heads up that I'll be moving up to Beaverton, OR at the end of July. So starting in August, if you see a blue 8 around Beaverton, that just might be me!

I don't think I posted here yet, but took delivery of my Titanium GT in Oct '03. I have pics on my website :D

Hi everyone.

Sun Valley, ID here. I have also live in the Spokane, Seattle/Tacoma and Portland areas.

I haven't actually gotten my 8 yet. I'm hoping to get it on Tuesday. Velocity Red, GT package, appearance package, rear spoiler and the 6 disc changer. I am really excited! I've been driving "practical" cars most of my life.

Excellent LiveBlues :cool:

I forgot to mention that it will have the 6 speed MT.

Also i am the same as the previous poster with balck rx8 except when i registered and posted for some reason someone named dont hesi8's name got attached to my post

I hope it comes through for you today. And anytime you find yourself over here in the Spokane area feel free to p/m me and we can get together for lunch and a drive. There are a few of us here and we have met a few times. A couple of guys from the West side of the state came over a couple of months back and we did a cruise around Coeur d' Alene Lake you can find the thread here in the NW section of the forum. Good luck today.

Thanks. It looks like it is going to be Friday now. I'm a bit disappointed, but with my schedule this week, I don't have much time to dwell on it. If I make it to the Inland Empire, I will let you know. I look forward to meeting other owners. As far as I know, I will be the first 8 owner here in the valley. A road trip to Boise is just going to be a good excuse to drive. Where are the Boise owners? Or Idaho Falls? Or Twiin Falls?

I live in MillCreek Washington-

Took delivery in August of 03, coming up on my one year aniv.
Silver, GT, Black leather 6MT 12k miles . Bought at Doug's Lynnwood Mazda. PM me for my feedback on the dealership-

Love the car..

PS- just bought the clear sidemarker lights.. orderd from JT imports in Japan-

Are clear sidemarker lights legal in WA? I am in Redmond. Looking for other RX-8 owners to go for some runs.
