Great meetup tonight everybody, damn that was the biggest rotary crowd in a while AND we got a newbie with the red 8. All in all we had a REPU, an SA, an FB, a couple of FCs, an FD, some S1 8's, a S2 8, and a new Mazda 6. Sweet!

I hope that Ray made it this week, his car was running yesterday during the day.

Pettit Racing has been added to the list of sponsor/contributers to WHiV6. He has prommised to send goodies for the raffle.

We received a large box of goodies from 13B1 and It has a bit of RX7 goodies and some RX8 goodies for the raffle

Those of you that are coming to WHiV6 please send me your first name and screen name so I can add you to the growing list. Ray tells me that we have a whole bunch of 7s coming but he can't get their information out of them for the list. Badges are required to enter some of the events and we sure would like to have them ready to go at the signup table.

Modified Miata wheelbase (being worked on with Fiat)
Skyactiv high-tensile steel all around
US most likely will get the 2-seater, Japan gets the 2+2 layout
Capacitators will be used for regenerative braking, like the new Mazda 6
Electric turbo has been talked about a lot, so forced induction hopefully
Starting price should be right over 25K
Release date is 2017, 50th anniversary of the Cosmo

any other details I missed, feel free to share links!
That is so far off that many of us will have to pay cash for it.

Less than 35k and going strong.

Hey guys, I've got a Carbon Creations hood for an RX8. If anyone is looking for a carbon fiber hood, I can bring it with me this weekend. I'm just asking $100 for it, and it's in good shape. Obviously it will need to be clear coated again or painted soon, since the Vegas sun sacrifices anything clear carbon. Send me a PM here, Thanks ~ Ted
