I will be in el paso this saturday for my friends bday. That does sound like a good plan. I was thinking about making some stickers. I am not sure what i want on it. but something to rep what we are about.
suggestions?

DSEA

This what always happens, we get about a day or two of chatter on here and then it conveniently dies again. I'm down with just the three of us meeting up, I may be able to drag one more 8 out.

rory_duran

Just pick a date and a location. I want to see what some people have done to their 8

PTDragon

Im game as always! And you can always txt me man!

Rotary_Driver

Let's meet!!! C'mon 8s stand up

DSEA

A last minute meet today, might be hard for some people. Let's shoot for next Saturday Feb 11 at 2pm, that gives rory some time to make it down here. Still looking for a car wash location (suggestions welcomed), a spot to sit down and eat, the cruise route, I think we can come up with on the fly. Keep in mind that traffic in el paso on a saturday is STUPID. Also, if anyone owns a nice camera, bring out so we can get some pics.

Im up for this sat! And a car wash place would be great my 8 needs some cleaning

rory_duran

I can make it this weekend. Thanks for the heads up. I say we have to find one on a main street. Just keep it posted

DSEA

So it's looking like the four of us will be meeting up. I'll try to scout out a car wash spot this week and keep everyone posted. Four 8's, it's a start.

rory_duran

it has to start somewhere

Rotary_Driver

Yea we just need a start. I know we will grow if we get it up and going.

rory_duran

i was thinking somewhere off a freeway or something, googled car washes and this is some of the addresses:
4418 Montana Avenue, El Paso, TX
11184 Vista Del Sol Drive, El Paso, TX
3150 Trawood Drive, El Paso, TX
650 South Mesa Hills Drive, El Paso, TX
650 South Mesa Hills Drive, El Paso, TX

I am not sure which ones are good.
hopefully next post will decide which one.

DSEA

Good job man. Let's try the one on Montana, if it sucks we can always find another. We'll find a spot to eat and talk after we get the 8's clean and then take a little cruise around the city. Is 2pm good for everybody? Earlier or later?

Okay, time crunch, p. rat said that the car wash on montana is a full service one, I was thinking more along the lines of hand washing. I'm not familiar with the west side, but I know of a couple of spots on the east side off of Zaragoza and George Deiter. Let's meet in the parking lot of Cielo Vista Mall in the area closest to the theater.

rory_duran

i am okay with meeting in the mall. time has not changed and for those who might have missed this last minute post. can i suggest after meeting up to check on the car wash on montana. let me know. i do not want people missing out

DSEA

Sounds good.

rory_duran

i am leaving now, it is a long trip

DSEA

Just installed the AFE short shifter, NOTICEABLE difference, feels good. I'm about to go do a little aggressive driving to give it a real test.

rory_duran

That sounds good DSEA. I just finished making some stickers. they say OVER 9000!!! haha They look good. i have some that are white and some that are shiny silver. If anyone ones some. they are about 13in long and 1.25 wide. good for a bumper. I will bring them next time i am in el paso.

Sup rory,
It was cool meeting you. I'm intrested in getting a few cars together and hitting the back mountain roads of Ruidoso or Cloudcroft NM. Does El Paso have anything commensurate to these passes?

rory_duran

When do you want to meet up and do all this? I am down whenever, I do not know about el paso has anything like that. Does anyone want to meet up?

AF_H1VLTG3

I'm going to do plugs this weekend on account of startup issues so a mountain jaunt will be out. Hopefully my BHR coils will get here soon.

To answer your question about oil I ran 5W-40 synthetic in the TII when I was in Germany. I have not decided what to run out here on account of the desert climate. I'm willing to bet my 8 has 10W-30 Dino in it right now due to the locals.

I meant to ask you about your exhaust. I know you have a unresonated midpipe but are you running stock mufflers? I'm considering a resonated RB or BHR pipe with Borla mufflers. Any thoughts?
