Hey lightning92, there's a CDC autocross this Saturday in Frederick, my brother, a friend and I will all be piloting my 8 there. Swing by if you want to have a go or a ride along with one of us. We'll be at Harry Grove stadium, the minor league ballpark there starting around 9am and finishing up around 3-4pm. We'd be happy to see you there.

lightning92

Yea I know a couple people who have done that event up there at keys stadium. It sounds like it would be a great time and i wish i could finally make it to one of those, but unfortunately i have to work that day man. hopefully next time i will be able to make it

355 and 270 near G'burg and Germantown area.

lightning92

yea that was probably me haha

@benben. Are those Volk G2s? Very nice choice. If i still had my BB 8 thats exactly what I would be putting on there (18*9.5 square, matt black).

Everybody, I have a gutted OE mid-pipe (for $20 or for free w/ pickup from my garage in Clarksburg), and a set of fender strakes that were re-painted gloss black (not the best paint job) for a fair price, not sure about price yet. I'm about to list the strakes in the FS thread, but the mid-pipe is going to the scrap yard if no one wants it.

Let me know. Rotor on.

lightning92

yea i actually live in Mt. Airy, but am hardly ever there haha. I used to go to DC and Annapolis a lot, and do go to baltimore a decent amount so one of them might have been me. I've only seen one other lightning yellow and it was one time in Mt. Airy. but it was a kid driving and some of the the parts were the unpainted black

@mcain.. Those are indeed Volk G2s, but the Type-2s with a lip. Mine are stagged 19x8.5 running 24/35 and 19x10.5 running 275/30. You prolly see me carving up the backroads on Rt, 121, 109 and 28 on the weekends.

@lightning92.. My R3 sits just a tad bit over 4" off the ground so 355 and 270 is where you will see me most of the time

Would anyone happen to have Tein spanner wrenches that I could use? I'll pay...

Do they run autocross often in Frederick?????

Nathan Atkins

Yeah about every two weeks during what i call the 'frederick seasons' at the beginning and end of the year. The schedule from 2012 is here:

javascript:window.open('http://www.capitaldrivingclub.com/rsvp/autox_events.php','newwin','width=860,height=600,r esizable=1,scrollbars=yes');%20void%200;

As you can see there's plenty of Frederick in the beginning and the end of the year.

I just ordered a long awaited set of Z1 star specs to compete with next year, I can't wait!

Hey everyone haven't been on in a bit due to being crazy busy with school and getting married and all that horse crap. Anyway wanted to say I saw a beautiful black 8 today around 2 as I was leaving UB law and was wondering if it was anyone on here. It was black with black stick rims and red lugs, pads and M symbol on the wheels. Really beautiful ride and obviously not formerly owned by some 18 year old punk. I'm still finding problems with mine.

any1 specialized with some clutch work

JDUB420

i flooded my engine in my 2004 and when i finally got it started i found out my clutch wasa no good. i can barely get it started. and when it does. seems pretty fine for the most part i have a small misfire. but when i press the clutch in when in neutral, sounds real nasty like something is spinning. i could smell some burning the night it went out. but im still learning about my 8. 134k on it. not sure if the clutch has ever been replaced. i got the car from minnesota, and when i got it. the tires were bald.

Anybody want a set of (slightly) used ceramic brake pads? be aware that while they will not dirty up your beautiful wheels, they are right and well **** when it comes to any sort of performance driving. Willing to trade for pads made of chewing gum or cardboard for their dramatically superior stopping power.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all my Rotary fam.

This is after a little drive I went on with some friends. The sound of my 8 just stands out above all the rest.
