Wow

After reading the threads here the meets seem really awesome. If I can go to one I wouldn't get laughed at for not having a modded car or anything like that , sorry Im New to the RX8 community so excuse my rudeness no offense intended and I live In torrance , CA just saying have not bought an 8 yet but will soon . Just curios to meet other 8 drivers .

We're a very open community, doesn't matter if its modded or not. If you do plan on modding, we can definitely give you some good pointers as well. The club is intended for people who enjoy their Mazda's. Even if you're car is stock, we all start from somewhere. Would be glad to have you come down to one of the meets

So after many years of neglecting to properly take care of my 8, I am now in the process of replacing my clutch/flywheel. Not that I took bad care of it, but I didn't keep up on it like I should have. Being in the military I have been away from home quite a bit and just haven't kept up on it. Last year I had to replace my spark plugs and coils, and for some reason I am still loosing power at higher RPM's and when I am at a light the idle jumps around quite a bit it almost seems like it is going to shut off. Needless to say it isn't driveable right now as I am replacing the clutch this Saturday...any pointers? I am in the nor cal area and would love to meet up with you guys once my 8 is up and running again. Take care and hope to meet you guys soon. btw, I am a gun guy, cars aren't really my thing. Military type, on the OPS side.

Dear John,

I am away a little less than every other weekend. Somehow, these meets are invariably scheduled on the weekends when I am away.

How many miles is your 8? My best recommendation is to change out the ignition coils and wires as well and to double check your motor mounts. Do you feel vibrations when at idle or when turning on your A/C? If you do, thats a strong indication of a worn out motor mount. What you can also do about high end power loss is check the compression of your motor and make sure that your motor is still healthy. Main reasons for high end power loss would be ignition failures and low compression in one or both of your chambers. Do you have any CEL's?

No worries about not knowing too much about cars, we all learn new things all the time Hope to see you around at the meet!

Lionzoo-
Darn, kind of sucks that somehow it get scheduled on days you're not here. There will be one time when you will be able to make it! Might have to PM me a schedule :P

Looking for NorCal/Bay Area Members - General Discussion - 7TUNED
I wanted to bring this back up as well as I'm sure more people would be interested in helping out bring our mazda community together. Please PM me your e-mail if you're seriously interested in helping out with the BBQ and helping out bring up a new club. I'm looking for active members who have a similar vision as I and are serious about uniting a divided community and bringing everyone together in events like meets and car shows and hopefully track days and such in the future!

Hey Grace,
I don't think i'll make it to talk with you in person so I would like to talk about if you're interested in merging NCRG with NCM maybe? When I first created NCRG, i had the hopes for it to become NCM but i started my new job and ended up deleting my facebook and left Zach in charge. But if you're interested, definitely let me know. Or maybe we can discuss a few things. Well, hope to talk with you.

Jon

We're purely a mazda Rotary forum not a mazdas forum so it's a bit different. I can throw it out there to see what my other admins think though. Lemme get back to you.

I definitely understand, that was the intention when first creating the group. Definitely talk with the other admins. If it's a no go, that's no problem. If they are interested, we can all meet up and talk about it as my plans for NCRG when it was first created is the same as the plans i have for NCM. Let me know, thanks.
