no comment on 41 miles in 10 minutes? I can make a 4 speed auto go 119.. Bahaha never doing that again.. Would it be possible to meet halfway? I'm not that close to the local meets here..

and I'll be the source for that cruise because it's on rx7club.com.. So yeah. Haha

Hello all,

Just thought I would post my experience on here with A & B Trailer Hitch. After seeing several hitch installs for the RX8 on this forum, I decided to let A & B give it a go... the result is very impressive, with a hitch that comes out of the rotary "hole" symbol in the middle back bottom plastic part of the rear bumper.

My motivation for getting the hitch is to be able to use the RX8 to take my bikes around when I go on rides. I will post some photos later but for now in case anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area wants to get a solid custom hitch done for their RX8 and they want someone experienced to do it, A & B Trailer Hitch is the place.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/a-and-b-trai...h-redwood-city

They also did two other cars for me in the past (a G35 and a G37). If you look on their yelp page you'll also see they've done several Bentlys and a good share of BMWs. Feel free to PM me if you want to see how it looks in person, etc.

street bike or dirt bike? I'd be interested in hauling my dirt bikes around since my dad doesnt let me borrow his truck.

I'm usig a rack to carry my mountain bikes, but you could probably haul some dirt bikes if they were on a light weight trailer.

I guess you'd be surprized.. but most of the ones around here are just stock ones, which those ppl may not care that much about having a rotary or not.. just sayin. id also say theres usually a meet tonight, but i've heard nothing, which is a downer as i got off work early today for once

lol, i was just spreading it from the 7club into the 8club. user cosmo7 over at 7club brought it up first, and i liked the idea, and apparently a lot of people are interested in it. and if the total head count amount of people, give or take a few, actually shows up, then itd be the biggest meet/cruise i've ever been to.. until USCM in april

theres always saturday night, as thats the only next time im free ahaha. but as long as you dont have no stickers on the bumper like me, you should be ok. in fact i was at the gas station and some guy was walking around my car while i filled up and was complimenting it and i told him i just through on the stickers so i wouldnt see the defects in it, and he said "no no its cool, it looks like a race car!"

ahahaha, they were right. stickers do stay on the track..
