[Mazdaspeed RX8 Ver2]

Hey,
Just wondering if there are anymore 6club bay area/norcal members still around. I post up meet info and no one ever responds anymore. Wondering if you guys exist still, let me know!

 

[Mazdaspeed RX8 Ver2]

Anyone?

 

[Mazdaspeed RX8 Ver2]

For those who are interested in helping me with a project for the community...

Looking for NorCal/Bay Area Members - General Discussion - 7TUNED

I wanted to bring this back up as well as I'm sure more people would be interested in helping out bring our mazda community together. Please PM me your e-mail if you're seriously interested in helping out with the BBQ and helping out bring up a new club. I'm looking for active members who have a similar vision as I and are serious about uniting a divided community and bringing everyone together in events like meets and car shows and hopefully track days and such in the future!

i dont think you will get much response here but good god that 95 rx7 in your sig..do you still have it?

1995..chaste white..base model... now if its a 5 speed thats the ideal 3rd gen

I have a 94 montego blue with a lsx swap, but I promised myself if i was to ever get another fd, it would be a 93 cym or a 95 chaste white... and of course the 95>93

Finally got someone to answer! Haha.

Yeah, i figured i wouldn't get much response but definitely worth a shot.

Yup, i still got the 95 FD. It is 5spd Chaste White Base with R1/2 oil coolers and strut bar. If i could get a 93 R1 CYM, hell yeah or even a black on red FD.

I got a few parts already here for it like the JDM spoiler, RZ/Spirit R brakes, Advox Coilovers, HID Bi-Xenon kit and soon to be JDM front end and either BBS RGR wheels or Series 8 RZ wheels.

On the car right now is just racing beat springs, racing beat cat back and racing beat front sway bar and kouki lights.

Definitely my collectors piece with 11k miles on it but ive been driving it around lately and its almost at 12k lol!

Hmm not sure how I overlooked this. I'm in South San Jose.

Would love to see your Rx7 at some point.

bring out the FD, Ill bring out the gtr since my FD needs smog at the moment

anything done to your 6?

 

[mnguyen]

Not much. Tints, HIDs, and lip spoiler are about it. Still really debating on whether I want to play with the suspension like my previous Mazda3 (ie. lower, sway-bar, camber arms, wheels, tires). Don't get me wrong though, I'm not a fan of the current hellaflush and stance movement. If I were to play with the suspension, it would be for improved handling more than looks.

In the short term, I would like to get fog lights soon though.

 

[Mazdaspeed RX8 Ver2]

Whats up guys! Glad people finally responded.

For those who want to help out with our bbq or NCM club planning, we are meeting up at automall in and out tonight at 6pm. It will coincide with the MOCC meet tonight at 8pm at the same location.

Nothings really done to the FD yet, just racing beat springs, front sway bar and catback. I do have parts lining up for the car though. As for my MS6, completely stock. Getting new motor and diff mounts soon as well as h&r coilovers. I do have rx8 r3 wheels for it too but waiting till i get the suspension to put it on.

Doh! Just realized your question was directed at Mazdaspeed RX8 Ver2 and not myself. Oops haha.

Lol, it doesn't matter cause the next question was gonna get asked was what mods are on your car anyway. Haha, very proactive. You guys should come out to Fremont automall in and out right now if you're not doing anything. I'm hosting a club planning meet and MOCC will be meeting here tonight. Not a lot of 6's come out.

I won't be able to make it tonight, but I'm up for the next time.

no worries man..what kind of HIDs did you get for your 6? im getting kind of tired of the halogen yellow bulbs.

would like something with a smaller/slimmer ballast so i can tuck it or hide it away in the engine bay

Go with the 5000k color temperature for your HIDs; it's the best color if you don't want yellow and still want the best usable light.

I currently run Morimoto HIDs and in all honesty, it's not worth the amount you pay in my opinion. My Morimotos seem to misfire about 25% of the time. It's nothing permanent as a simple on and off flick of the headlight stalk will fix it, but it shouldn't be happening with a $150 kit.

DDMs or Kensuns' seem to be a popular option around here as well.

DDMs are priced so cheap I feel like its bound to break sooner or later so you can just buy another one to replace it.lol

Ever heard of sportiva HID systems? HID Kit, XenonLight, scooter parts, Moped, Scooter , Off Road ATV, Gas scooter, electric scooter, Go-Kart, Car Headlight and Fog light HID Xenon Conversion Kit , Sportiva HID

They supposedly have AC systems vs the conventional DC system and claim it lasts 3 times longer.

prices seem fair

 

[mnguyen]

Haha I feel the same way. I ran DDMs in my old Mazda3 and in my brother's Tc, and they both broke in under 6 months. Other people seem to have better luck though.

Never heard of the sportive system though. If you try that out, let me know how it works out. I'm tempted to replace my Morimotos if the misfires continue.

 

[Mazdaspeed RX8 Ver2]

For me, i wouldn't go cheap when it comes to lighting for both safety and aesthetics. Haha.

Checking in. I am in Fremont and commute between Fremont and Greatmall on 880

Welcome welcome! Looks like all the bay area 6's are starting to come out of the wood works now. I commute down 880 as well between union city and fremont (near milpitas). Though i work nights so i commute pretty late (5:30pm - 6:00am'ish)

You guys definitely need to come out to my meets some time. Usually get rotaries and some Mazdaspeed 3's, maybe one or two miatas. I have a 6 so i hope more 6's come out. Lol

 

[dechaoz05]

nice... where do u guys usually meet? with 3 kids it's hard to get away but definitely interested
