Hey -
Check out my latest addition to the "What not to do to your car" thread.
https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...postcount=1192

This Z06 is a Fontana local. Unfortunately, they live near me, so I'm stuck seeing it all the time.

update

hey all just wanted you all to know that Mazda is replacing my motor after a long drawn out battle. Also Mazda has changed the warranty. All Mazda RX8's from 04 on I believe will have an extended service warranty up to 100K miles or 8 years. I was at my powertrain warranty then got a call from the dealer letting me know that the policy has changed and I am no longer on the extended powertrain and back on the regular warranty so that is why my motor is being replaced.

my 04 was covered......I just got the paperwork and accompanying DVD video Monday. Unfortunately, I no longer have the car....and it would not be covered anyways given all the modifications that were made to the car.

Yeah, I think everyone was assuming a man because it is a vette....but I'm thinking it is one of those strippers that works at that place on Foothill.

I wonder if Flame still has "Flame" written on his left arm in Black Sharpie?

oh, and what the hell is stuntaz?
Urbandictionary.com says: "Three posing ***** that enjoy spending their time imitating the ever popular icy hot stuntaz^2. "

icy hot stuntaz 313 up, 28 down

Three white kids from Toccoa, Georgia who tried to cut a rap album and posted press pictures of themselves on the web, posing as "gangstaz" in front of rented cars with bling bling. See also "wigger".
The Icy Hot Stuntaz think they are tha shizzle, when really they are wiggaz.

That corvette has PVCA Motorsports on the windshield.
Pomona Valley Corvette Association.
I believe Jill (Riccio) is in that club. She hasn't posted in about a year, but I think she still checks in occationally.
That means, when they go a cruises/meets, she has to see this thing.
The worst part is, the owner obviously likes it, and no one around him is brave enough to tell him that he destroyed his vette.

Also haven't seen it ever. Wow, that is a disgustingly ugly Z06. Should have kept it stock...

Those things are monsters.

I had no idea an elderly lady used to go to your guys' meets.

It wasn't Jesse. And the crash wasn't that bad. It was in May 05. There's some discussion of it just before the post I linked.

She's a big car nut. She had the 8, an FD, and a Nash Metropolitan (haha, look it up). She also had a Boxter. Not sure if she sold a car to get the vette.
You guys remember the June 05 meet? That was awesome.
She hooked us up w/ tickets to the Quake game. We had our own section roped off in the parking lot.
That was a fun meet, even though we didn't get to drive.
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...&page=14&pp=40 - Starts near the bottom of the page. That was the meet I came to w/ my black rims.

We DID do a run after the game, but not a lot of people went.
THats when cliff hanger became "cliff hanger" (the guy in the red FC). (read the start of the next page)



the new tire for the CSP miatas is out!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!



this is the new tire that we will likley be making the switch to. we curently run a 225/45/13. this new tire is a 255/x/13 (I dont remember the sidewal ratio off hand).

we curently run a 8" wide wheel. the new wheel will be from 9" to 10". (not sure yet.) the picture above is the new tire on a 10" wheel.

anywho, I just wanted to share the news to all of you non miata guys. thats, a lot of rubber under a small little car.

It was not Jesse. Jesse was in his own car.
IT was James, my next door neighbor in San Bernardino. He was the one with her.
