I am moving to san mateo next week but leaving my car behind in Michigan. Are there any recommendations you all can give me in terms of car repair out there? I hope to have it shipped out soon but I think it needs a bit of work.

Hey there. You got two options over here, Rotorsport in Santa Clara and Rick's Performance, formally Rick's Rotary in Pleasenton. You also got a whole bunch of dealerships as well Also, you got us!

Welcome back to NorCal, HWK11. There's an Initial D meet next week and a bunch of rotorheads are caravaning to it. Hope you could make it out.

Just moved here a few months back & so far haven't had especially good experiences @ Towne or Putnam Would really like to avoid dealing with dealerships if possible...

I live in SM as well & work in Menlo Park, is Rotorsport my best option or is there someone further up north I could go to?

Thanks!

^^^ Dealerships - I had great service from Capitol Mazda in south San Jose (when I owned my 8 - purchased it there - now sold, sadly). Also, there is an independent garage called Mr. Mazda in Campbell, CA where I had my 3 Ford Probe GTs (Mazda MX-6 twins mechanically - when I had them) serviced. Mr. Mazda has a mid 90s RX-7 that I always lusted after, but he wasn't giving it up.

Sell my Shinka

Hi, I'm trying to post to classifieds but it's saying I do not have privileges. Can anyone help or have suggestions on how to sell my RX-8 on the Bay Area forum?

Thanks!

Scroll to the top of this subforum (The West regional subforum). There is a link to the West Classifieds. You can create your FS thread there, it is open to new members.

Saw this after I posted my introduction thread, so I'll throw it in here too!!!

Good afternoon all, my name is Kevin and I JUST moved to the Bay Area.
I've got an 04 RX-8 which I will include pictures of below.
The car is not here yet, it will arrive end of February/early March.

I'm looking to see what the deal is with meets and/or GTG's in the area.
Anything that happens on a regular basis?

I love rotaries, all shapes and sizes, and can't wait to meet some of you guys in the bay area.
I've seen a few 8's rolling around out here, but no 7's yet.
If you spot me, feel free to flag me down. If I'm not heading to work I'll most likely stop, unless you shady looking.

Anyway, as promised, pics below for reference, it'll be easy to spot, it's the bright red 8 with WI plates on it. (Wheel centers are gold now)

Can't view event, and FB makes you join group. Don't really want to FB... Ain't this forum basically RX-8BOOK? Can I get some event details in our own world?

Thanks ORADA, I have joined the Facebook group and look forward to meeting people.
I won't know exact location until mid to late February when the wife moves out, however for now we are looking in the san Jose area as I'm working in Haywood.

thanks for the warm welcome, I'll keep up on the Facebook group and will attend as many meets as I can get to!!!

Cool

If you are working in Hayward, you might be better off as far as monthly rents go, to look in the Hayward/Union City/Fremont area. San Jose along with most of the south bay has gotten much more expensive (I was fortunate a couple of years ago to find a cottage for $2K/mo and the average rents down here are much closer to $3K). Try posting on the CL wanted to rent section - I did that, and it worked well. :D

Thanks for the tip ladyjazz! It looks like my wife will be working in Santa Clara.
We've got about a month to nail things down so we'll see how it goes.

I can't WAIT to be able to drive the car year round!!!
