Then put me down for the 16th or 30th. Now I need to order brakes... and maybe rotors... I should probably check those.

I always have projects, lol, would be interested in stopping by on any of those dates and bringing supplies as needed :-) I think my passenger door window is slipping off the track now and then so I need to tear that door apart and check it out and have some courtesy lights to install - lol, could always put in new plugs too....my list is long :-/

Anyone here from our neck of the woods planning on going to the Deals Gap Rotary Rally near Bryson City, NC April 19 - 21st? :-) It's a great time to meet other 8 owners and see some sweet rotary powered vehicles and drive some legendary roads.

Who's the one looking for a 944? Saw it in my email but wasn't paying attention. I have a buddy willing to sell his. He was asking 6500 but I can talk him down if you're actuslly interested. Send me a PM whoever it was lol.

Atredeus

I think Allen was looking for one for his dad.

a2wallen

Yep that was me. I'd be interested in some details, but that's probably out of my price range. Shoot me a pm with some of the info if you have any. Been looking to purchase one for my dad. But at that price, I'd have to get him to chip in on it.

I just received the rotors and pads for my car yesterday. Probably work on installing them tomorrow.

pretty sure i just saw Rotary-Kitten acroos the street at Steak-n-Shake on Fields Ertel

wsh i could, wife said either go to the rally or buy lowering springs....i bought lowering springs.

a2wallen

Started the brakes/rotors today. Was able to enlist my wife to help paint the calipers. Cell phone pics...

Those phillips head screws in the front rotors were a huge PITA. Luckily I found an impact screwdriver.

as for right now, i'm thinking of having party on Sunday, Mar. 10th.
>> Atredeus, is sunday absolutely not going to work for you?
>> BobbyDigital211, is it possible to do on Saturday 16th?

hope we can find the day works for both, and if there's anyone else planning on coming, please let me know!

>a2wallen,
nice pics. hopefully my rotor screw will come out without braking...

Rotary-Kytten

Were you in your 8? Please tell me you weren't in the ridiculous Honda I saw across the way that was two tone white and lime green, We were getting our shake on, lol...lowering springs or rally hey? She be cracking that whip

Atredeus

I was just planning on being home for St Patty's day. And depending on if I take the 18th off... I'm not sure if I'll be too hungover

So either 16th/17th for me.

a2wallen

If you need to borrow the impact screwdriver, let me know. I'd just hit it with some penetrating oil and let it sit for a bit. I might be able to stop by and be a warm body to do some grunt work on either of those weekends. 16th/17th might be better as my wife will not be in town, but I'm good either way.

Here's the final product. Pretty happy with it. The G2 Caliper paint worked pretty well. Still need to get the wheels redone by the wheel doctor, and eventually get some new tires. Leaning towards the Hankook V12's and probably go 245/35 for the size.

Should have the exhaust in a few weeks, then it looks like I'm done until we do some things around the house.

spideyrx8

definatly not, that honda belongs to one of the guys that works at that mexican place. i work at that Quicklane and my car is park where you cant really see it from the road. thats what sucks about working here, my fat *** has to sit and stare at steknshake all day and it makes me hungry lol

Bobbydigital211

I am already scheduled off on the 10th but if we do it on the 16th I would only be able to be there till like 1ish

Okay lets plan this for Sunday, 17th. Seems the best day for having most of us.
I will have some burgers, hotdogs, and some drinks. Let me know if anyone wants something else.
I have jacks, but please bring your own jacks. I have only 4, and likely using them all. Come over anytime after 9:00 or 10:00. I'll send my address later today or tomorrow via pm to those who said is coming. If you are planning on coming, let me know, so that i can have enough food and drinks!

brilliantblackrx8

Tact, I'd like to stop by and pick up your painting supplies that day. Allen, I no see pics

a2wallen

Oops, that's what I get for organizing photobucket albums

Looking good. I do have impact driver, so hopefully it'll work. but if you could come by, any help and advice is always welcomed!


I'll have all the tools ready for you to pick up. when you come, you can tell me the list of house project, and I can tell you if i have any tools you may need. (or if you need to use any of the tools before hand, you can let me know and I can bring it to the fuel or something.

>All,
I'll go back on this thread and I'll try sending PM to everyone who showed interest my address. if you are planning (or even just thinking a little) about coming over and don't know my address, please PM me. I should be able to send out my address sometime tonight...

edit: I sent PM to pretty much everyone who was on last couple pages of this thread... if you didn't get my PM and would like to come, please let me know!

Bobbydigital211

Ok the 17th it is. Ill try and shuffle my schedule around and get my shift covered so I'm not scrambling to make it to work on time. Tact please let me bring something this time. You bought all the food last time!!

tact.

Other options to get the set screws out are using and punch/chisel and a hammer to spin them out or just simply drilling them. I used both methods on my 8. I didn't bother replacing them as they do nothing but hold the rotor against the hub when the wheel is off.


I will not be in attendance. I will be doing house and yard work in preparation for the upcoming baby shower the weekend after.
