What's up folks trying to get a meet together in Jacksonville for next weekend on Saturday or Sunday 23/24 of August. Everyone is invited that can make it post a time and day and we will do our best to make sure everyone can show up. As for a place I am up for anything let me know what you guys can come up with hope to see you guys there.

 

im up.. no ideas where yet.. maybe we can do another meet at toms pawn shop and then.. ROLL out to a SONICS for lunch or dinner.. ?????

 

I'm open Sunday

Korean bbq > Sonic

 

im not 100% sure..but i went there (korean bbq)a couple months ago on a sunday and they were closed...we might have to research that...

 

hmm yea now that you mention it I think they said its closed on Sundays.

 

Welcome to Jax

Sunday sounds good what time and where? 2JZ-RX8 what time can you get in on Sunday? Welcome HOssistthebOss maybe when we meet Sunday someone can show you around town. I am sure more people can meet contact them and see if they can make it Sunday. Hopefully soon we will have a time and place.

 

If you guys are wanting to go for a drive we could meet up at Sonic, then go to Daytona. Some Mazda 3 people are meeting up at 2 on Sunday. That would be an hour drive for us and cut off an hour for the drive up from Miami.

Hmmmm.....well I can do it but not sure if everyone else can I checked their forum and they only have six showing up we already have six ourselves and sure we will have more if we contact them about the meet. There should be plenty to do in J-ville it is the biggest city in the nation! Plenty of driving just need to do research so right now a meet at Sonics on Beach across the Flea Market at what time for everyone? I can do a search on places to drive from that point unless everyone can make the Daytona drive?

 

I'd be happy to join you all on a Saturday, 23rd. But, I will be at the SCCA Autocross on Sunday, the 24th.

Whitehouse Airfield, just a few miles West of Jacksonville off of Highway 10. Exit 351. Map can be found at: www.buccaneerregion.org

If you end up at Sonics on the 24th, remember me when you are downing cold liquids, while I am standing out in the weather chasing down cones!

 

Just got e-mail from SCCA, and they will NOT be able to use Whitehouse Airfield on the 24th. So, since I don't feel like driving to Gainesville to autocross, that leaves me available for either Saturday OR Sunday.

So, add me to the list!

 

hey skillmaker, did you ever get your tail light fixed?

 

wow! miami!.. i hope no one takes this the wrong way but just a lil thought jville is about 6 hours away.. and we arent as big as ppl down in orlando.. your always invited to come but i can head you to a better direction... if you dont already know this website http://www.flrx8club.net/ then check it out.. a lot more ppl around your area, saving you the gas and milage and your eight... buttttt like i said your always welcome to show up.

and to the others im in for daytona as weLL!!! we dont HAVE too go but im in...but ONLY if we can get a bigger crew to go....

so can we agree on noonish ,sonics at Beach blvd across the flea market?

 

ahh daytona would be nice :D closer and i have to work sat morning. daytona could possibly be a definate GO!! jacksonville is a little far, for a sunday drive when i have to be back at work early monring monday. i mean 4am so...

depending on people amount, daytona.

Hey isnt mazda3 having dyno day on the 23 in orlando? i can double check. but would this be possible to do?

 

So I guess the plan is meet at Sonic on Beach across the Flea Market around noon on Sunday then drive to Daytona to meet the Mazda 3 club? Will this work for everyone? I am up for whatever. I guess if people can't make the drive south then meet us at Sonic anyways then when we leave for Daytona you can follow us until you feel like turning around! So who can make the drive and who can only make the meet at Sonic?

I'm up for doing something in Jax or also to driving to Daytona. No ideas here though, someone needs to come up with suggestions.
How bout going to shoot some pool? We need to firm something up, this weekends around the corner.

 

I'd go, but I have races to go to that day....

Why don't we all meet and head up to the Tail of the Dragon next month. I'm taking a bunch of rotary beer mugs and shot glasses to give out....

Nuke,

Yep, fixed my taillight. Total cost = $0.00

For everyone:
The foam gasket that sits between the taillight assembly and the rear bodywork is in a bad place. Water coming off of the weatherstripped trunk seams drools right over that gasket. Mine had become old/flat/harder/brittle. Also, the plastic caves where the lightbulbs plug in to the taillight have nowhere for water to go, if it starts getting in there. So, if the gasket goes bad, water gets into lightbulb holes, and ends up in taillight.

Solution?
Removed taillight, carefully stripped off and retained bad gasket, emptied water and used blow dryer to get tailight dry and fog-free.
Then, contacted local company that sells neoprene and foam and cork for gasket making. Settled on a foam product that was the correct thickness, with an adhesive backing. Nice man at the gasket place gave me a 16" square of this material for free, enough for 3 or 4 gaskets, really.
I cut a replacement gasket from the free foam material, using the old gasket as a template (making sure that the adhesive would sit against the taillight contours, not the bodywork).
Re-installed, and Taa Daa!!!! Everything is clear as can be!

Pretty nice way to save a bunch of money.

 

i will see what i can pull off, but i think i have to work on sunday. saturday would have been better.

ill post back if im goin.

 

i still say ... "sell these!"

 

thats awesome. i'm glad you didn't drill holes. i got a new mazda gasket. supposedly they are thicker and made from a different material than the original. i still haven't installed it yet though.

and Razpewton, hope to see you and some of you other Jacksonville people at BOTD.
