So our sunday run.... did'nt quite go as planned. met @ eastgate, got my 8 cleaned cos IRQ5's 8 was already spotless. took a couple of pics and were on our way. started off nice with no traffic and cruising nicely @ 200kph. and then, air bag light came on AGAIN! was sorted out on thurs/fri. ok, then a funny kkkrrrrr noise outside car, ok, then battery light went on. W.T.F? then radiator light... we had only reached the pretoria split at this point. so we pulled over and 8 had over heated a bit of water boiling etc... fanbelt had snapped, kinda had a feeling when i saw it was perished and did ask Mazda 2 replace it while it was in 4 the clutch etc... they had the car 4 two days........... oh well we'll do another run in 3 weeks time. still went & had a good lunch after the 8 was towed 2 my house. will post our pics.

Nice one!!!

NVIGOR8. u find a line driver yet?

phat8

howzit everyone? been busy my side... so end of the month has come and gone, busy working on the SA rx8 site will let u all know as soon as it's up n running. speaking of up n running... my 8 has been back at Mazda since wed last week after they sent some one 2 my house 2 put a fan belt on my 8 from ''another car'' cos they did'nt have stock! so on the way 2 have dinner @ my moms house, i hear the same noise the belt made when it snapped on the run... stopped 2 check, and it was half shot. so we drove slowly hoping 2 make it back 2 the house. managed 2 get 1 block away from my house and heard the belt finally snapped. so the 8's been there since wed and 2day they called saying they still trying 2 find the problem why the belts keep shredding. very frustrating, at least i got a courtesy car. ''when courtesy cars get abused'' he he.......

irq5

Yeah, it has been pretty quiet around here. I must say I've been a bit busy myself.

Sorry to hear about the belt in your car going again! Why the hell can't these monkey's get it right for you? It can't be that hard to replace the fan belt, tighten to the correct tightness and give the car back to you working...

Anyway - I've also been working on a logo for us. I've got the emblem done pretty well (I think) but I just can't get the wording to look good. I'm going to give it another try tonight. Either way, I'll post what I have tomorrow for you to check out and let me know what you think - if it'll be good to use as our emblem...

Hope all goes well and your baby comes back to you in proper working order soon!

Hey guys

Sorry I haven't been here to reply lately. Took a week's leave last week and went down to the Drakensburg - in Nadia's car though - not taking my 8 on sand roads

I've come up with what I think is a really cool logo - I still have forgotten to post it. I'll post it tonight or tomorrow morning for you guys to check out.

Glad to hear we got some new members too - when we running next?

Also, glad to hear about your V belt and AC. My 8's probably going in tomorrow for a service and possible swap out of fuel pump. Strange power loss happening after 7k rpm. Not major but just noticable... Will keep you guys informed.

Anyway - good to be back.

Cheers
