I sure hope to be out at the next meet! My parts are suppose to come in while I'm at the beach next week so I'm going to have to do some hell of a tuning on Saturday when I get back and before I come out Saturday night.

More interest in the group
Just received a call from Dale, an RX8 owner who found our posts and wanted to know a little about the drive-ins and what we do. He said he has had an 8 for about 8 months and has made about every improvement that can be made to it. He's interested in getting together with other rotary owners. He'll be at one of our August drive-ins.

hey guys, i have a question. where are you guys getting your preformed hoses from? i busted my CRV hose while doing the y-pipe install and am gettin zero PSI. does mazda still sell these or is there a better replacement. i got some hose from the auto parts, but it is too flimsy to make the turn, even if i used more hose it still doesnt work. thanks for the help. if no1 knows i will post in the 3rd gen forum.

Josh, are you talking about the vacuum line or the bigger 2" diameter (or close to it) line? If you mean the larger line, I just have taken the exact hose to autozone and they have matched me up with the closest piece they could find. I've replaced just about every hose over there in the turbo area so I bet that they have something like it for you no matter what it is. And if that does not work... yes, Mazda does still carry the hoses. (There significantly more expensive though)

so what happend to the giveaway thing this weekend? i think its time we really start getting some sponsers for our group. we're getting bigger every meet. if we were closer to winston salem, good lord, we'd have soo many more cars. i was up that way today and i cant even count all the cars i saw(only 2nd gens though..) nothing spectacular but still about 6-8 cars probably. anyways, i cant wait until the next meet!

o yeah, and forgot to mention that i saw an s4 vert- very beat up but- and spoke with the owner who was quite cool but i dont think he was in the money status of visiting the group. i also saw a S5 vert in hillsborough with RB catback but i didnt see the owner until pulling away while i was inside a store. there are cars out there, just gotta find em! im gonna see if jared knows the RB exhaust vert later this week. anyways, its almost 5 in the mornin, im out!

Morning Josh, when do you sleep? You posted last night way late and you're up posting this morning.
Good luck getting you car back together. We need you and Taylor back in your cars to give the 8 owners something to strive for. The guy I mentioned above, Dale, will be bringing an 8 with all the trimmings to one of the August drive-ins. He sounded like he takes as much pride and time with his 8 as we all do with our 7s.

yeah, I think that he said it was titanium, which should be a dark silver. I haven't seen one that color yet but I think your are probably right. From what he said he has done everything that can possibly be done to upgrade the car. I am looking forward to the August drive-ins, he said he'd show up on the 28th if he couldn't make it on the 14th.

I was driving on 15-501 this past weekend and saw a Red FD parked at front of Mazda dealer parking lot. I believe it's a 93. It was an automatic with 52K orginial miles on it. I didn't get the chance to find out the selling price as the dealer was closed at that time. The condition of the car is excellent inside and out.
Just want to share that information to anyone who is looking for a FD.

Bert,
I think the exact milage was between 52-53K. I only have chance to take a look from outside of the car and through window about interior. From what I see, everything seems to maintain in good condition and is all stock. The dealer is off on 15-501 right beside Hyundai dealer.
