Ah yes.... I read that there used to be a couple more..... But oh well...Well, I do work in Goleta, so I'll be keeping my eyes open for you.

yup. I tried to be a good customer so they would treat my car nicely haha... unfortunately, that meant I didn't ask for a rental or bitch at them for taking a week. It's all good though, I'm just wondering what happened to the spark plugs to make them need replacing.

I just had the emission recall done a couple months ago - do you think there's any chance they could have screwed something up during that to accelerate the wear on the plugs?

Woohoo I've (SS) been spotted! Unfortunatly I don't have the luxury of time to surf the 8 forums like I use to. Between working +40 hours a week, work seminars and 12 units.....clearly there isn't enough time in the day.

saw this 8 yesterday on the 405 south...it's a forum member, but apparently, he hasn't been on in a while



saw a red 8 on the 91 passing the imperial highway exit in the far left lane at 12am. and then saw another red 8 parked in front of aaron bros in the hidden cafe hooka bar parking lot 5 minutes later...

seems like red 8's are freakn everywhere. just saw another red 8 waiting at the signal for jamboree and el camino real at 10:15pm and also saw another red 8 at "Joe's Garage" in the tustin auto center at the Canon Christmas Party earlier tonight. guessing it's the same one that i saw parked in front of the Canon buildings a while ago...and i don't think they're on the forum...time to leave a note!

I saw a red RX-8 with a stock wing and I believe an exhaust and bought it from tustin mazda with front plates on greenville street, and then turning left on macarthur (sounds nice and loud). And then I saw it again pull up in a parking lot on Harbor right across from the Japanese market, I think its called Marukai. Anyway, the car is clean and nice and loud. wonder if that person is on here
