Tech session? I wouldn't know. I was running around all day yesterday and never had the chance to do anything car related except figure out why my brother's car died in Lutz while we were driving. Turns out it is a dead fuel pump. So a few delays made the day go by very fast. Maybe next time.

Whats up guys? So I fell in love with the RX8 some time ago and have always wanted one. Everyone I asked told me it was a bad car to get (even the guys I know who work at Mazda) and told me bad things about the engine.. ect. I spent nights on this form researching/learning about the rotary engine and the vehicle all around and came to find out that all those people didnt actually know about the car. Truth be told I used to hate cars, but sometime about the '8 just pulled me towards it. I loved learning about it and when I finally got to drive one, it was done! There was no changing my mind at all on the subject.
So after months of searching, going to dealer auctions, the like.. I found a used manual 2005 with 60k miles on it, black 18'ASA rims, K&M short ram intake, tinted windows and lights, but the most appealing thing on the car was that I knew the previous owner ran the car like he stole it. So I got the car for $10,500.. it didnt run but just turned out to be the 110amp fuse under the fuse box. So I bought it, got it running, and have been in love ever since. I practically live on these forums.
Now the bad thing, I have only found one person around my area with another '8. Everyone eles is old women/soccers moms.. ect! I live in Wesley Chapel on 54 near 56. I was soo happy to find this thread lol. So if you guys have any meets coming up, lemme know!

It's ok. I pimp all around. Imperium, we usually have meets on the weekends and are sometimes screwing up Jeremy's car. Either that or we are watching him screw up Glenn's brakes. Anytime you want to join the fun let us know. We are located in Lutz. Some Pasco and some Hillsborough and then the outcast Glenn in Pinellas.

ALAN!!! lol man where did the time go? I was starting to think you sold the 8.
Jeremy, with all the crap we say man we only joke, we need ya buddy, believe it or not (I cant believe Im saying this) with out ya I dont think we could have accomplished alot of the modding we did. BTW I still have that there cutter tool thingy of yours. Not sure if you have alot of plans this weekend but if you wanna come by and help resize the front grills then I will hook you up with the 8000k bulbs for FREE (lol that is if you want them) all you would need is the balasts and you would be GTG
Glenn you know you wanna be around stop looking for pitty LOL

Not looking for pity, just tired of trying to get people together and everyone bitching about something "Oh its too far" or "Oh I can't make it between this time and this time, How come no one ever calls me for a meet ?"

If you are on some kind of a time schedule. Then pick a date and place and just have a meet. Don't worry about trying to cater to everyone else. Just say, Hey I'm going here on this day at this time, anyone wanna meet me there. If people want/can join you they will. Done, Finished, Through, End of Story.

Since I am off next weekend, anyone up for a meet at a local restaurant that Chris likes. I think it off of Racetrac Road. He said it's really good. Maybe Saturday most likely. Anyone?

Well, I've got alot of people interested in my car, so I'm not sure if I will even have it by then. If I do, I will up to coming as long as its after sunset. And Khris, more than likely the wheels will go with the car. There is hardly any tread left anyways.

Glenn? Calling Glenn! Of course it's a sure thing Jeremy. Has there been meets recently where people didn't show up? Trying to figure out why all the negativity towards car meets in this thread lately. I know I have been gone for a couple months but what the hell happened.
