hey jim,

Will be back in town 2 weeks from today. Yay! The car is in Tulsa now though. It should be going in the shop today if my brother can deflood it (he had an rx7, he should have known better!). It's going to the body shop to get the MS replica painted and installed.

here's some pics of the carPC install, along with my leather seat conversion:

DeadLee were you at the autocross this past weekend?

Alice: You should have ran...I was the rx8 that spun out pretty bad but still won B-stock.

 

The 8 is going in the shop this week to have the body kit painted and installed, including the MS wing. I could not be more excited!!! It should be finished when I get back to Tulsa by the 1st of the month. Then all i'll have left is to put the exhaust, springs, rotors/wheels/tires on and i'll be done with all my planned mods!

really really excited

Before Pix taken last year:









Will throw pics up when it's done!

 

stingray: i came out to see how the turn out was going to be. loved that there were 8s there. Ill be running in the next one for sure.

 

sweet. sounds good. I'll be there too...We need to start taking over the event. Just come up and say hi when you see me. my name is Brent

 

I might just have to make it out to the next one and watch you guys.

 

Hey, glad your on your way back. Can't wait to see the kitted 8. I should get back from my vacation right after you get into town.

 

yall will deff have to come out and watch the runs there was a good turn out so im running n the next one in june.

have to step it up on these courses if im running against stingray.
stingray: have to see how i do on a big course iv only really got into auto-x this year so and iv only ran at the police training facility in okc so its gonna be fun. I was the guy walkin around with the little girl last time and my wife so maybe you saw me?

 

Ya really didn't see you. There were a lot of people there. Huge turnout. This is my first year man. You just pick up a lot of stuff pretty quickly. This upcoming event will be my 3rd one this year. Looking for an extra set of rims and going to get some tires.

 

Nice will be my third as well. Gettin my bmw buddy to bring his out! So it should be awesome.

 

Stingray will you post check my post and make sure i was correct on the amount is to run and if anything else needs t be said its on the okc roll call.

 

Alice, if you want to run in the same class as me you will have to take your intake off and put your stock one back on. Just a lil fyi.

 

dang really... that sucks! i might just have to do that! so no mods for your class?

 

B-stock man. STOCK means bone *** stock lol. It kind of sucks. You can change your shocks, your filter, tires, and rims as long as the rims are the same size (and I think offset).

 

dang so what class will i be in?

 

STU if you are on street tires.

 

Ill be on street tires so i guess ill be running stu...

 

Just put your stock airbox on and run in B-stock.

 

Nope... I moved to The Woodlands, TX back at the end of January. Just sold our house in Jenks in May, but the 8 has been in Texas since January.

 

Hey guys....back and settled in Tulsa (sperry actually), but in Tulsa all the time. Haven't gotten pics of the 8 after the kit was put on, but wanted to wait until I put the exhaust and springs on (hopefully in the next couple weeks). You might see me out and about in Tulsa though. Black 8 with MS body kit and MS spoiler. Also have clear corners on.

When's the next meet?

 

I am meeting lofton and saphus Sat night if you want to join us rotarykillz. Would love to see the kit. I'll let you know when I find out a time

 

Anyone know a good spot in Tulsa to take car pics? I've done Mohawk park. Looking for a different scene. Any ideas?

Anything going on this weekend in the 8 world?

well sunday is autocross at hallet and it was a two day event... well just thougth i would let everyone know that my 2nd daughter was born on the second we just got home from the hospital today she was 6.5 pds and 18.5' long.

 

congrats!

 

Hey Guys,

Most of the body work on the 8 is complete. I just have to find a solid grill for the MS front. I'm really happy with it overall. The fitment on the front was a little tough, but just a little gap between the hood and bumper...works for me. I severely need a buff job to the car. Prob going to do some stuff next weekend in regards to paint conditioning to restore some shine...not bad as it is...just can be a lot better:
