hi this is AmpDmg. Just popping in to say hi. Own a 2005 Shinka Rx-8.

Welcome! Shinka...nice!

howdy there are a few of us down around the north bay (santa rosa, petaluma, marin county)

whats up , just over the bridge from ya .

sweet deal. Always looking around for people to hang out with. You guys hit the meets a lot?

Not really , I just do the San Leandro show once a year . I 'm into the vintage stuff and don't keep up on many of the events .

There's a annual show in San Leandro? Link? When is it?

Vintage auto spa in san leandro , last year it was in august . Great show on the water front and a great crowd .

I am in Vallejo trying to get my 3rd gen RX7 running...long story, but I lost my parts stash and my just finished RX Convertible to a Mikes towing in Vallejo, when my sister died and her "friend" decided to push it on to the sidewalk and the cops towed it...when I finally heard about it, I was given a bill for over $2500 to get it back, so it went to oblivion with it's brand new custom paint job still wet...Now I need some advise about setting up the dreaded emission hoses and getting some number to put on the catalytic converter...it will pass smog, but the dmv smog testing station failed it because the cat converter doesn't have "a serial number that shows that the stock cat is certified for this application, even though it came on the car when it was built...Catch 22...
feel free to call me if you have any ideas or would be able to help me...I'll pay for results.
