So thats how my car is suppose to look! All super clean. I totally havent had time to clean mine. Car is looking really great!

I reinstalled my semi maybe idk dead cat today so I could get some cycles on and hopefully it will pass emissions. It sounds so much better!

Some FD stuff...ordered all hot side pipe other day and 2 UJ 3.5 stainless to run the downpipe hopefully down to the transmission. Sikky shifter will be here next week. Here's finalized position of turbo.

Lake Oswego... I'm from West Linn :-) Congrats on the Rx8

Brad, if you ever need a hand don't hesitate to ask. I'd love to help out.

So the race pipe came in today. Installed the turboxs exhaust. I'm not sure how long it'll take before I put the cat back on. It is a bit loud.

Thank you Nemesis8 and everyone!

I am waiting for my train now at pdx union station. Super excited bc I ve never been on a train before, and if it corners like its on rails I may consider buying it as my next vehicle.

Mrktplayer, the springs should settle a bit and drop the car a little more.

That would be nice but I have to go on a week day so the bank is open to handle our transaction. I am sure I will get to know some local rotary friends soon and will make trips together for events.

I know a guy with an 8 that has the same name

There is a weekly Cars and Coffee meet by the airport. Also there is the CorkSport meet coming up and there will be a few 8s attending.
