My family and I own two rx-8's (parents had a their midlife crisis) anyways...We had been l almost the only ones we ever saw for a while but now they are popping up everywhere! Nice to see ya'll! But I guess Ferman (the dealership) is buying everyone they can get their hands on so...and other places are doing really extreme mark ups so if you are looking to get one I suggest you head over to Ferman on Florida Ave. I think just south of Fowler. tell them the Morris family sent you!

Which color 8's do you guys have? Maybe we'll have to set up a meet between 8 owners in the bay area. When did you guys buy yours? I have a yellow 1. I bought mine from Courtesy Mazda. I got a discount because I still own an RX7.

hey, we have blue and black. yah my dad owned a first gen. rx7 in hawaii he loved that too (lost it in divorce ) but sure it would be cool to set up a meet. we need ideas for the twins...we wanna do stuff but my dad is not really one for modifying the body (he believes that body kits are a waste b/c they really only add weight) but he wants to do stuff to the engine but hasn't found products or brands that meet his HIGH standards so...input is appreciated:D

Canzoomer's Stage 1 mod is the way to go for the 1st thing to put in. Borla exhaust is probably the favorite here. I think that the air intake is a waste of money, plus you'll void your warranty for a couple HP.

If you replace the cat with a straight pipe. Go to RX7.com and get theirs. It won't be too loud. They did a great job on my RX7.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say Hi.. Got my 8 here at Russell mazda back in September.. Titanium Gray.. I've only seen 2 so far. A black one parked at Park Place Tavern, and a Blue one on Mcmullen booth..

I should be getting my Stage I today.. It's sitting in Duneden waiting to be delivered to my apartment.. maybe I'll have it by lunch if I'm lucky..


SO, does anyone here happen to play poker ? Just asking because I frequent the tracks and Seminole alot.

Awesome, bring me a snowcone... Whats the weather like? There's been a cold spell here... down in the 40's!


Fedex messed up my Stage I shipment, now I have to go pick it up after the driver gets back to the station... The anticipation is killing me.. I hope it wont be too dark to install the darn thing.

When do you get back?

LOL! I bet you are going crazy!!!! I know I will be when mine gets shipped. Canzoomer's cool because he honored the price because I emailed him on the 31st.

The weather is OK. Right now its like 20 degrees with a wind chill of about -10. But, the weather is already starting to turn. In 2 weeks, it should go below zero with wind chills down to -30 or -40. And thats the END of summer!!! I get back on the 16th FEB
