Anyone near Pensacola Fl?
 
I need a little helpif you are.

Tmtrademarked 05-06-2012 11:34 PM

Hey what ya need I'm down in pcb

nlsolja123 05-08-2012 07:43 AM

I'll pm you

jdmroller 05-15-2012 01:23 AM

im in pcb as well

whalejr31 05-21-2012 08:10 PM

Also in Panama city! Even tho im a month old owner! We should have a meet in destin or something there seems to be quite a few of us here in the panhandle

Tmtrademarked 05-23-2012 01:23 AM

That would be sick and I still haven't gotten a pm yet

whalejr31 05-23-2012 08:23 AM

It doesnt look like there is any organization to the panhandle group and would love to do something every once and a while. Just to get out and enjoy the weather we have and the cars! If your interested let me know ill start a new thread call "panhandle cruise" or "destin cruise" or something and we can try to get people out to destin or hell even tally (better drive out to destin tho) and if u know anyone else around with an 8 see if their interested and get some potential dates this can happen. I know a guy with one whose down for pretty much anything and my schedule is open after June 9th.

jdmroller 05-24-2012 11:39 PM

that would be a great idea we need to set up something. ive had mine about 3 weeks now and ive always got there rx8 drivers in town here honking and pulln me over to talk we all need to set up a meet one day

whalejr31 05-25-2012 09:48 AM

Exactly we just need a location and to get the word out to people and a date!!! Im thinking the best place to meet up would be the walmart lot in PCB and go from there. If anyone else has any ideas let me know! this defiantly needs to happen!

roflcopter 05-25-2012 03:51 PM

I live in Destin and an local car group meets Tuesday nights on Okaloosa Island. Also, if anyone needs help with the cars, I have done a decent bit of work and am pretty handy with all that stuff.

jdmroller 05-25-2012 07:13 PM

that sounds like it could work meet up in pcb and role out to destin or cola and hangout mabye do some photo ops with the cars just have a good time

roflcopter 05-25-2012 09:36 PM

Sounds good, just let me know.

I'm completely down for work days too, there's plenty I need to knock off the to-do list for the car.

whalejr31 05-26-2012 09:28 AM

Work days sounds great! I have plans for mine but not for a bit. Haven't really done any work to these yet but i have 2 hands that love to be dirty. Previous cars were an '85 toyota MR2 and a jeep CJ-8 with a 350 swap. So i am not new to car work just these cars which dont seem like they will be difficult!

roflcopter 05-27-2012 09:45 AM

What all are you planning to do to it?

whalejr31 05-27-2012 10:13 AM

Eventually suspension, rims/tires, bluetooth to the stock bose system, exhaust and LED replacement lights inside and out. Other than that i love everything about the car. May turbo it if i ever have to put in another engine but that will be a few years anyways.

roflcopter 05-27-2012 03:43 PM

Nice. I already went full LED, have a somewhat modified intake and exhaust, and just put new tires on it. Trying to find a set of good quality BBS LM replicas at the moment.

jdmroller 05-28-2012 06:53 PM
