Hi. I'm Chad, I live in Vegas, and have an 04 Nordic Green Rx8.

 

What's up Chad, I haven't seen many Nordic Green 8s here, have you come out to the Sin City Rotary meets?

 

hey welcome!

I don't believe so Kevin

 

Welcome

 

Thanks!

No I haven't. Didn't even realize there were meets. It seems like when I'm not working on the Rx8 (who buys an 8 for reliability?), my 280zx or making turbo pipes for older Subarus I'm doing something NOT car related.

Currently I'm part way through a radiator install. The Koyo is in, I'm waiting on the upper coolant bottle hose which I found out changed part way through 2004. The guy at Planet Mazda has been really helpful and will even drop it off for me when it finally gets here.

 

If Nancy is not too bad off tonight, I will try and make the meeting. Sure could use a chili dog.

wow, did this thread really go a full year without a post?

 

yea, it went a full year.......

 

. . . 8's are getting rare here in Vegas. Damn heat + neglect. Craigslist is full of 8's that need motors can get them for $1000-1500 all day long. (sometimes less, had an offer to buy one for $700[automatic 4port])

 

I sold my 8 but find that I have a few misc. parts left over. If any one would like the parts they are free. Just call me and they are yours 702-210-8033.

 

All parts are gone.....Got a call and let them all go to him.

 

Just moved back to Vegas. Can anyone recommend a good shop to get work done? Plugs/coils, the eventual rebuild, etc...

 

OMG! Long time no see :D!! I'm rarely on here anymore, but still have my 8. Nice to "see" you again!

 

Unfortunately the one rotary-specific shop we had here in town packed up years ago. Samurai Motorsports on Spring Mountain did a grand opening recently and could be worth a try for the usual things. As far as rebuilds, I took my 2005 to Neptune Speed in Huntington Beach, DNA Garage in Fountain Valley does great work too, a few other places in SoCal. That'd be the nearest places that operate primarily on rotaries. Feel free to add us on Facebook, local guys can usually link up with you and do the normal maintenance things for good prices!

 

Hi! It has been awhile. The last time we were in the same spot was here in Vegas.



Thanks. I'll be sure to check it out.

 

Hello Las Vegas!

 

What's up Bran! Are you local, or visiting?

 

 

Yes sir! Las Vegas All Rotary has been doing more and more since we started in 2016, and our 2nd Annual rotary event is the weekend of April 14th at The Orleans Arena. Over 10 vendors, a really good venue, and a lot of rotaries.

Outside of that, we have our meets every second Saturday of the month, and you can find us on all social media platforms @lasvegasallrotary .

 

That's really sad that so many people left Vegas. I am moving back and went to look at what was happening here and all the groups I knew of died off.

I no longer have a rotary either but I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next All Rotary show/event in Vegas.

 

the forum as a whole has slowed way down with the emergence of FB groups, etc.
