Lowered on KW V3's. Wheels are 17x9.0 +35.


Very meaty wheels and tires. Great stance. What is the size of the tires?

They are 255/40-17 Hankook RS-3's. About one inch shorter OD than factory, which helps with the gearing and acceleration for just about every use.

Hi Ryan,

We are almost neighbors, nice car! How can I find out dates and locations for some of the runs? I have not done any autocross in 30 years but would like to watch sometime.

Here is a pic of mine from several years ago in Ashville after a visit to The Dragon.

Yea Nicholasville is pretty close!

Central Kentucky Region is the local organization for Lexington/Richmond autocrosses. The next one is in June sometime at EKU. The full schedule is at www.ckrscca.org. I don't do too many of the local Lexington ones though, but it is still fun to go out to watch if you haven't in a while. I am more inclined to go to the National Tour events and some of the other venues in Louisville and Cincinnati that are much more open and get more participants. The local CKR group definitely runs the smoothest events though.

Yeah, I have contemplated ditching the 8 several times but just when I start thinking that I do a run through the hill country and fall in love all over again.

That is exactly what happens to me each time I start thinking about selling it. And not sure what they are worth now anyways. I paid $34k for it new so probably would rather keep it than give it away. Had it out the other night for the first time in a couple months, and notice it was Oct the last time I put gas in it. But I still redline it each time I take it out

Don't remind me of what the sticker price was back in 04'

But yeah, if I was lucky I would get 9k for it with the mods, so it's really not worth selling now. If I get something else the 8 will become a garage queen.

Nice sig 9k. Seeing your blueish white parking light LEDs makes me want to change back. Ever since mine burnt out I replaced with amber leds.
