Ok, I see a lot of talk about a meet but no one stepping forward and sponsoring the event. Mike wants food, Niel wants carting and I just want to get together again. Since it's so cold (and wet) an inside meet is the best way to go.

Is the carting outdoors or indoors? If outside let's save that for a weekend day if indoor then Niel, pick an evening date and we'll schedule it.

Since it's Mike's idea for food then Mike should pick the spot, day and time and we'll get that scheduled.

If no one wants to be the sponsor then I'll pick something or some place and schedule it.

Thanks a lot guys, I hope to be around soon enough. I was going on change my parts today, but I can't seem to find my lug nut key for the wheels. I tried to jack it up and work from underneath, but there just isn't enough room to work under. So, I will have to put that on hold for a few days until I find the damn lug nut key! HEHEH Also, while I was underneath the car today, I realized another part is bent!! I couldn't see it earlier because it was behind the exhaust system, actually behind the shield of the exhaust system to be exact. But, the part that I found bent is the rear sway bar, just another problem that I didn't need! But, while at it I came up with a new idea for the headlight eyelids that Anthony gave me. I'm gonna try and give it the look of the 2009 model. I think, it will look awesome! Tell me what you guys think..

Also, for the next meet place where we will it, anywhere is good with me. I just don't like anything that's from underneath the water..

Sounds like a good idea, but first we would have to come up with the first mold to see how it would look. I should make the first concept soon, and we'll work from there. Since, I have pair of the R Magic eyelids, I'll cut them to the way that they look in the sketch and we can make molds out of it. First, sketch I wasn't too happy with, but the 2nd came out the way I like! How good are you fiberglass skills, and how long have you been practicing?

While I was working on the car today, I decided to shoot a quick video reving the RX-8 with the Greddy exhaust system and without the K&N Typhoon intake on since I no longer have it. Jason, owns that intake now if you ever wanna hear it in person. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKaoXdrMb0M

That **** does look hot, I might get the springs as my last mod for this car. I'm going to be trading this car for a new model and different color. I'm thinking about getting a white one like Mike, so he won't be alone! But, mine is a 2004 with 22K miles on it, also it's a AT which I have no problem with. But, for my 23rd car I'm considering getting a MT finally. My 2005 Mustang that I just recently got rid of was a AT as well.

Dude I can be doing that **** out side in the 8. They call the pigs on me

Dim Sum place? I dont know. Jorday said pick one by him so he can make the meet. Poor kid.

I dont know Mike. Check this out https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...9&postcount=20
See the wheels on that TI 8? I like them man and guess what?
The P45 +35 offset 18x9.5 or 9 hyper black by Rotas look just like them.
They are really nice looking wheels. I love that concaved look me and J where taling about and at the same time I love mesh wheels with a sick lip.
What do you think bro?
