I've been out of it for a while. Too busy for much this summer with the two kids and all. What's the latest talk on exhaust systems. I'm looking for something new for my 8. The wife is getting her new ride tomorrow, An RX300. Both of us will have RX's!

Now her plate can read RXGATOR to match yours!
Are you buying preowned 300 or a new 330? I was looking at those for my wife also.

rx8gator 08-01-2004 09:14 AM

Still alive and kickin'! We bought a brand new white RX330 yesterday from JM. I thought of the plate idea, too, but she already has a UF plate. She wants to keep it.

Its done boys and girls, my baby was returned to City Place Mazda on Sunday on trade for a new 6. Its a nice car for the wife. She got the luxury package and I got the sports package so I can still feel a bit sporty. Hey, it does have more HP and an extra gear than my AT RX8! Anyways, its been fun chatting and Id still like to meet up with you guys for some beers soon.

TRAITOR!!!!! HERETIC!!!!!!





I thought I knew you. I trusted you, and then you went and did something crazy like trade in your 8. You're a very bad person.


:p


Good luck with the new 6. :D

Lose one, Gain one.....it all evens out.

We'll get pico back. He can't resist the song of the rotary forever. muahahahaha!!!!

picosrx8 08-12-2004 10:01 PM

One day...I figure in a few years Ill be ready to get another sports car. RX or Stang? They are both in my blood. The best thing about my whole saga is that I get a reason to get to finally restore my 68. Its been long overdue (12 years to be exact!)

rx8gator 08-28-2004 02:13 PM

Fellow WPB's,

Just bought my exhaust. Any suggestions on where to get it installed?

paradigm 08-28-2004 06:01 PM

Japtrix is probably closest to you. The're off charlotte st., kind of behind the albertsons on lake worth & military. Their phone number is 561-963-8700. Ask to speak to either of the rogers (there's 2 there). Tell them Jon sent you. I'm there practically once a week :D. The're very knowledgeable about rotaries in general. Pretty decient prices for parts too. :)


Or if you have a decient floor jack (I can bring jackstands if necessary) I could do it for ya. It's a pretty easy install, really.

rx8gator 08-29-2004 07:26 AM

Thanks, I'll let you know when I get it. I figured it would be easy if you could actually get under the car!

Abracadabra 08-30-2004 01:16 PM

jack and jack stands
 
I'm planning to buy a floor jack and jack stands...was thinking about them from harbor frieght in Lake Worth...anyone get them from Sears? Thoughts about the difference ? Also...is there a local place (near Boynton) to get a slotted steel piece to go onto the jack and or jack stands or will a slotted 2x4 do just as well? Thanks, Craig

so is everyone getting ready for the storm? :(

Oh, yeah. I'm putting up my shutters tomorrow, but starting to clear up the stuff outside tonite. This does not look good for WPB! :eek:

Abracadabra 09-01-2004 10:33 PM

Shutters up and we are outta here tomorrow....either down to Key West or up to SC...will decide in the AM. Be safe and good luck to all.

paradigm 09-01-2004 11:42 PM

my family is gonna ride it out in the house. I'll post before and after pics when internet access gets restored post-storm.

Genom 09-02-2004 10:41 AM

I took care of my apt in Miami as best I could, and my rommate is gonna weather it out there with his family (live in a trailer down in homestead). I'm heading to my fiance's in Broward now to put up shutters. What sucks is her house is 1 block east of US1, so we most likely will have to evacuate it.

What a pain in the ass. Be safe ya'll.

How is everyone making out? I just got back from Wisconsin and my house is in good shape. A few trees down but pretty good otherwise. Hope everyone else is in good shape and getting their power back soon if not all ready.

rx8gator 09-09-2004 05:55 AM

Ivan now?
 
Lots of trees down, and a huge mess in my neighborhood, and now another one on the way? This really sucks. I wanna install my new exhaust!

English 09-11-2004 10:57 AM

The boy has a set of real stones :D
I was able to get a generator today at Insanity Depot. Then I spent another two hours trying to find oil and a battery for it! I hate to wish bad upon someone else, but Florida needs a break form this S**T! Go west young man! Go west!

English 09-14-2004 08:03 PM

Yup....I guess Ivan is gonna fall out of our area, so I'll stick around town this week and clean up.....At least until New Orleans has it's first Cholera outbreak, then I'll go take some pictures (ughh!). It seems pretty early in the season to be on the letter J for storms. SEPT, OCT, NOV left to go....I think Pico is yet to come!!
