I'm in Summerville, work in Goose Creek. There's another 3 or 4 Rx-8s where I work.

 

We seriously need to get everyone together for a good turnout. Sounds like there are a lot of 8's in the Columbia, Charleston, Greenville and surrounding areas. We need to set a date and location far in advance so everyone can have an opportunity to get off from work. A good summer meet would be sweet....anyone interested?

 

u know i'm down

 

planning a couple months ahead is a good idea... with my schedule i'd definately need to take some leave considering im working almost all the time...

 

Sweet, sounds good

How about you Chucktown and Greenville/Spartanburg people, anyone else interested??

 

I'm in just let me know the dates so I can be off from work.

 

Hey, here's something for y'all to go and do this weekend...
__________________________________________________ ________________________
For two years in a row, CarolinaRides & ProDyno have welcomed spring's return with a huge Dyno Day - this year will be no different!

http://www.carolinarides.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=19875

THIS SATURDAY, April 21, CarolinaRides will have their ProDyno at ProDyno's NEW shop, right on the NC/SC state line! For those of you needing directions, their address is:

3545 Center Circle
Fort Mill, SC 29715

Come and find out what kind or horsepower and torque YOUR ride makes! Price is $40 for 3 dyno pulls with wideband O2. You get a printout of your results, as well! Keeping with ProDyno tradition, this is yet another SWEET deal for CarolinaRides members. Thanks Dan & Rob!

Dyno signups will be done the day of the event. When you arrive - sign the list quickly! The earlier you sign up, the sooner you'll dyno. The first car will be on the dyno at 9am sharp, and we'll stick around until midnight if necessary to get every last car on the dyno! Food & drinks will be provided.

All makes and models are invited. Last year we had all different kinds of cars - from mild to wild, imports to domestics, trucks to cars, nitrous, superchargers, turbos - you name it! If you just want to come hang out - feel free. You do not have to dyno - we'll use this as a Meet & Greet and Cruise-In, as well.

Bring your friends & family and get ready for a fun-filled day of raw horsepower! Early arrival is advised, and don't forget your digital & video cameras. If you have any questions, please use this thread to ask them.

I hope to see all of you on April 21!

I won't be able to go - I'll be at Clemson, putting a new driveshaft into my son's FC.

 

I wasn't able to go, I was too busy having too much fun slaying the Dragon!!! We had a great turn out and lots of fun to be had by all! If you missed it this year there's always next year!!!

 

I didn't either....I had to be out of town against my own will

Did you take any pics??

 

Here's a link to the Picture Thread on the RX-7 Club forum. There were a lot of 8s this years, some very nice ones too!

Deals Gap Picture Thread

Something to wet your appetites:

 

Looks like it was a good time.....I see STREETS's car looming in there as well

Which one is yours?

Would be sweet if you made it out to this summer meet we're trying to put together.

 

I was there with my RX-7 (Last Picture, the FD). I plan to go to RX-8 Brotherhood of the Dragon with my (and better half's) '04 Black RX-8. ...I might take the 7 with me as well if you guys allow me to.

I'll take some picture of the 8 tonight or tomorrow after I give her a good bath.

You guys been checking-out our group of Track Ho's? Their most timely thread at this time is named "Roebling With Nasa-who Is Going? " https://www.rx8club.com/se-rx-8-forum-30/roebling-nasa-who-going-112214/
They are going to tracks all around us throughout the year. Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) is in mid-July. That's just a tad north of Camden off of 521. Roebling is in Georgia, down in the Savannah area, exit I-95 just a mile or 2 south of the SC boarder. Road Atlanta seems to be a favorite, and for good reason, that place Rawks! Well worth the ride to the Hotlanta metroplitania. It's in the outer suburbian zone - northerly.
I must say, I have been outta touch, wow...

check-out this calander that SilverEIGHT is maintaining...

Intriguing, isn't it???

 

sooooo.....how is July sounding for this get together?

 

I'm looking to debadge my car and get my windows tinted before I move this fall. Any advice on reputable shops in the Charleston area to get that done?

 

On my way up to Spartanburg from Columbia this past Friday I ran into a Winning Blue 8 on I26. They exited near Prosperity.....happen to be anyone in here??

 

Not me but I do see a Winning Blue one around here (Newberry) sometimes.

My car is actually at Wray Mazda in Columbia awaiting a new engine right now. 8 trips there in the 6 months that I've had it - I guess they finally got tired of seeing me! Right now I'm driving a little Mazda 3 rental - I sure do miss my car......

Yea, looked to be a young guy.....the 8 was very clean

I go to get my oil changes at Wray (for now)....is yours the stock looking Velocity Red parked out back??

 

Yep...that's mine. Been there since last Thursday.

You know that big hill that they have in their parking lot? My car actually cut off at the top of that hill last week and a salesman had to give me a push down it. They were in a hurry to get my broken down car from behind their new line of 8s!

I like the guys at Wray - they've been very nice and helpful to me even though I didn't buy my car from them.

 

Hey guys! I'm out in Sumter (Shaw AFB to be exact). Just thought I'd give out a shout!

 

Yo! Welcome silverjazz.

Update on the racing scene: We have a sticky now in this SE RX-8 forum, on the NASA-SE CMP (Carolina Motorsports Park) July 14-15 !!!!! That's just a tad north of Camden.
https://www.rx8club.com/se-rx-8-forum-30/nasa-se-cmp-carolina-motorsports-park-july-14-15-a-117307/
I'm just going there to hang and assist, but you CAN race yourself! Check it out!!!

 

my baby is FINALLY going into the shop tomorrow after an almost 2 month wait. my right rear door and quarter panel were thrashed after someone backed into my car in the parking lot in Columbia. Thankfully, he left his info and such and his insurance will be paying for the repairs, all $2600 of it. Finally, my 8 can look clean again.

 

I don't live in SC but I work in SC. I work in York/Rock Hill and travel to Clemson quite often with my job. So if anyone is in these area's maybe we can meet up sometime

 

Yay! I got my car back today!!!! I've been without it for almost 3 weeks.
