8rocks 05-17-2009, 12:12 AM I want to say "let the addiction begin" but you already have a laundry list of things I would spend the next few years putting on my car. Congratulations ...Oh I know...F.I.
How much did this piece of sweetness run you?
dozer 05-17-2009, 12:14 AM welcome to the addiction! VR is the fastest color, but DAMNNNNNNN your car is f*cken sexy! PLEASE stay posted your car is just fcken SICK!

nuke0907 05-17-2009, 12:20 AM this car seems familiar to me. did it come with all those mods? where did you get it from?

about 15,750.
I'm having to get used to driving manual again. I haven't touched a stick in a few years and even then I wasn't the best at it. The 8 is so forgiving though. I love it. give me a month and I'll be back to good. My old eclipse had a sportronic transmissions and got me lazy!
pdxhak 05-17-2009, 12:20 AM Nice! I see you have Oregon plates. I'm in Beaverton. Where do you live?
Pink Flea 05-17-2009, 12:21 AM Is it just me or does the front bumper not match the car?
Patrick_r 05-17-2009, 12:21 AM this car seems familiar to me. did it come with all those mods? where did you get it from?
I got it in damascus oregon and I think the owner was a member here.
Patrick_r 05-17-2009, 12:22 AM Nice! I see you have Oregon plates. I'm in Beaverton. Where do you live?
in st helens oregon about 50 minutes away!:)
nuke0907 05-17-2009, 12:25 AM i was thinking this might be jstkilntm's car but you're kinda far and it has different wheels.
Patrick_r 05-17-2009, 12:25 AM Is it just me or does the front bumper not match the car?
You mean the paint?
it matches perfectly in person. I set up a flash and it brightened the bumper too much
Pink Flea 05-17-2009, 12:27 AM Ahh ok.. She is beautiful.. Congrats on the new baby
Fortunate Few 05-17-2009, 03:13 AM so nice!

There is a BBQ dyno meet this Saturday at Forged Performance. There will be a few 8's and lots of 7's there so plenty of rotor heads to meet!

PSTNLSS 05-17-2009, 05:43 PM I despise you greatly
Ross_Dawg 05-17-2009, 07:21 PM dude thats one badass 8 for one badass price!
Nemesis8 05-17-2009, 09:12 PM It's very hard to get the bumper covers to reflect like metal panels. It's a oddity of the beast.
Nice ride for sure - roll it into the BBQ dyno day that pdxhak mentioned. No need to dyno it, but it will look awesome next to the RX7's showing. Gotta represent the 8's for sure!
Gr8Bullet 05-17-2009, 09:20 PM That is nice!
angeljoelv 05-17-2009, 10:01 PM looks awesome, enjoy it..

Oh it and I are going! See y'all there. :lol:
NoOdLe BoY 05-17-2009, 11:58 PM wow. immaculate.
RyansRx8 05-18-2009, 01:56 AM Thats a badass 8 :)
YaXMaNGTO 05-18-2009, 02:06 AM Somebody lost their ass on that one. Damn thing might have 15K in it for just the mods, right?
Bravo. Nice car.
Deathwatch 05-18-2009, 02:09 AM Congrats on your 8, and welcome to the family! I hope you enjoy your 8 just as much as we have heh heh.
Patrick_r 05-18-2009, 11:26 AM Somebody lost their ass on that one. Damn thing might have 15K in it for just the mods, right?
Bravo. Nice car.
Something like that. He said 10k in mods but those coilovers are $2100 alone.... I stopped adding everything together after that. he was being conservative with that estimate I think! Either way I'm really glad y'all like it!
I keep forgeting it's mine though. I was walking to my car from the grocery store yesterday looking for my old car (a 2000 eclipse gs) I looked up for a second, saw the 8 and said. Sick car.... Then I proceeded to keep looking for my eclipse for a good full minute before I remembered.... Oh yeah that was my car......
I will say this though... It takes me forever to get anywhere! Not because the car is slow but because anytime I park it or start it there is someone there complementing it or asking me questions about it. Makes me feel good.
Here are my next mods so at least I can say I did SOMETHING to the car....
CarPC
Sub in the trunk (not a clue how I'm gonna pull that off though!) Those jic magic bars block off the option behind the seat. I'm a guitarist so I'd like to be able to carry 1 guitar in the trunk. I think the 4080s might work I may have to try on someones car with those in there to see if it works.
and then....
Turbo duh!:jump:

JantzenRX-8 05-18-2009, 11:29 AM DUDE!
I totally saw this car on Craigslist last week. I was telling all my friends to buy it.
Nice find, that thing is sick!
Anijo 05-25-2009, 12:49 AM Got to see her this weekend... Honestly, the pics can't do this car justice. A week before this meet I saw a Stormy Mica Blue MS'ed out and thought that was the prettiest 8 I'd ever seen but DAMN.

Aipex8 05-25-2009, 01:49 AM Your car looks great in person. You got really lucky, the previous owner took really good care of it. You got the highest dyno numbers too, right? Hope you're up for some more meets and drives this summer!

shazy 05-25-2009, 02:45 AM OMFG. I hate you and your nasty ass colour. Damn, VR, I wonder why they are the fastest?!
CONGRATS ON the drop dead gorgeous car!
nikkdizzle 05-25-2009, 03:15 AM geeez! you're iss....:jerkit: ahh there it goes...
haha love it!
Patrick_r 05-25-2009, 04:13 PM Lol thanks guys. I'll take some more pics to let you pleasure yourselves to when I wash her again. I actually took her camping last night. I pulled into the campsite and as I drove past all the big trucks I could see rather confused looks on people faces. got a lot of attention though!
My highest Dyno was 167 I think. I'll post em for people to compare when I post my trip pics..
Nopstnz8 05-26-2009, 04:51 AM That is one sick 8! I love the Volks! Make sure you join the Rays Wheels Owners Club in the wheels and tires subforum. I believe the previous owner already did, but since you are new, why not? Have fun with it.
