Oh my! Nabil is now reaching boiling point and the lite jabbing is turning into puncture wounds.

I’m waiting for you to meet with me and help define the clips for post production. Are you available this weekend? If so, I’ll make time.

yeah, it really was not enough, one quick lap, and then you are done. It was still fun to shred someone else's tires for a change.

I wish I could do the Lexus thing, but I am not in town that weekend. You will have to let us know how it was.

Can we maybe use this calendar program to organize and plan for these events? It'd be nice to have a planner of sorts to go by.

Jamie, this software will not work on my operating system. I'll try to find something else.

New 8 Owner In Ga

Hey everyone Im a brandnew RX-8 owner. I live in Alpharetta and Im looking to come to some meets and get to know some fellow RX-8 owners. I dont see many on the road in my area. I think I have seen maybe two other than mine. Some guy around here in his 30 or 40s with a black one and someone with a grey one saw that from a distance.

Welcome to the club. We have a great group that is VERY active. We have so much going on right now, if your not carefully you will have an event planned every weekend. Just hang out and you will get to know us. Check out Autocross, NASA, Mountain Runs, Go Karting and other events in this (SE) section and you will see us hanging out.

Again, Welcome to the Georgia RX8 Club.

You bet!! But first, you must be tracked!! Track virgins must be broken in. So, hop on up to the NASA site, join, and come with us Friday to run at Savannah for the weekend. Then, you must modify the car with at least one new thing prior to the next event. You must also learn the "Tbone" with a track cart. Finally, there is the sacrifice to the Mazcare gods in which you will be tied naked and blindfolded to one of the lifts and.......well, you'll just have to find out......

Remember, the sight of Nabil's checkered thong has become a normal part of each event, so please, don't stare, he's sensitive........

be careful, you might scare the guy away. remember, we all decided to let people experience the checkered thing at their own pace.

You really need to get to the track, you are about to explode. :D

Yep it sucked at first but I think my emanage and ecu finally settled their differences and they get along just fine now. Just had the transmission rebuilt due to a friend's attempt to race my car. A new fork and syncros later and now it drives again. I ran a 8.7sec 1/8th mile on street tires before that though. I'm taking it down to mazcare tomarrow afternoon to get some redline transmission fluid for it and to let charlie take a look at it. Glad to see someone younger than me in the GA club. Kennesaw isn't that far away maybe we could meet up with some of the other 8 owners sometime.
