Is anyone looking to trade their aftermarket Rx8 exhaust for stock or is anyone looking to sell their exhaust system?

There are a bunch of exhausts in the for sale section. Good ones. You just generally have to add shipping on top of a deal of a price. Take a look, it's where I got basically ALL of my parts.

Since there was zero turnout from the 8s for the monthly combined meeting last Friday evening, most would not know that we were asked to leave the parking lot of Napoli Pizza. The Pizza shop was no help and did not seem to appreciate our business.

The 7s showed up in force and made for a very nice meet until the "rentacop" showed up.

I am again looking for a meeting place where we can have a good Pizza, maybe a few beers and a good meet. I am open to suggestions.

I'll be gone on vacation for a little while but will look for a good place to have our meets when I return.

I'll post it here (i mentioned it sunday, also). Verazzano's has always been great to us car clubbers. There's enough parking near it that it should work well, if you want to stay with a pizza joint. The guys there are pretty awesome, and would probably even give discounts on the food. I can talk to them, if you'd like. (though, knowing how my schedule is, i'll never make a meet anyway, haha)

That is not the best deal. You can get a brand new AP TI tipped exhaust with the midpipe for $650 shipped.

Dgr8one21 around the start of July I was going to be buying the ap midpipe, I already asked thmotorsports if they would sell me the exhaust at a later date and split off the included midpipe to someone else(cannot buy the exhaust alone). We could do this except with me getting the midpipe and you getting the exhaust, depending what thmotorsports says. Either that or just spend the $650 and get yourself both.

yeah drift it's on the weekly poll on SCR, The only thing is we need a more central location.


Not sure if we have to have a dedicated location every month thou. Frankly after all the WHiV meets I was getting a little tired of Napoli's


Oh last I heard the rent-a-cop was still picking rubber from my rear tires from the front of his wanna be wedgeway. There was no yelling, no engines running period, not one stereo on, no consuption of adult beverages the guy was just being an ***. Maybe one day I'll remove my tags and chase him through the lot with my DD .... ******* (sorry mods)

omg just dawned on me one of our guys works on radio jammers they work on phones as well. He wouldn't be able to dial 911 mwuahahaha. Yeah sorry that was a bit twisted

Have u seen Mike's (aka mikeluvs8) new ride? It's a black 09 rx8. He texted me the pic of the car.
The car is lowered and i think he kept the wheels and tires, just to let you guys know.

Have not yet seen it but I think that I will end up with the wing. He's been by the house a few times getting stuff for the old 8. He does like lowered.

Since the combined meet is only once per month, a dedicated location is something that I think would normally draw cars. Every one would know that the third Friday of every month would be the meet and know where to go and what to expect.

Now being centrally located is not a bad idea.........I am not aware of any 8s (now that Thrasher is gone) that live in the Henderson area or far east side. I am not sure where all the 7s live but the one's that come to mind are on the West side also.

I considered just going back to the In & Out lot on West Sahara. That seems to be somewhat centrally located. Again, it would be helpful if we had a few places to pick from to start.

Keep in mind that the new Mazda dealer has also offered a meeting place (A little too far North West for a central location).

Dam, I think my 8 is back on the road again but with one new problem...motor mounts.....It's always something on these cars.

Jeff took the car last night to a dyno shop that is only open in the late evening. It was running pretty good when he took off so I would expect that it will be really running well.

He had not returned by 3 this morning (when I leave for work) so I was not yet able to test drive it. I am leaving for vacation this afternoon so test driving may not happen until I get back.

Yo B, check this out. It's the same exhaust I have and I wouldn't trade it for anything else other than the Knights Sport. But then again that thing is over 1K so I won't be switching up any time soon. This is at a sick *** price too!

History has proven for the SCR group we need to move the meet.

1) It makes it fair for more driving wise to move it around Thrasher was only one of the many that are driving from Henderson. There are ppl attending from the Base, Henderson, Summerlin, Alliante, Eastside of valley as well as those that driveup from the Southwest Blue Diamond area.

2) In the past staying static in the past made sense so everyone knew where it was. But with todays technology most anyone interested in attending jumps on their phone where ever they are and check the forums.

3) We can overstay our welcome if we frequent the same place too much.

4) We had an Ok turnout this past month even if we only had 9 rotories, but no 8's?

Question is how do we get more of the 8 folks to be active?

Yeah but this is referring to the Monthly meet and I am betting Phil would prefer an evening meet and as he is the consistent rep for the 8's at the monthly we'd have to check with him
