In the second pic, look at that sexy car behind the FD.

Sorry I couldnt make it to Kevins to help out. I was just about to get off at Wards Corner and my brother called and needed help with his car. Had t ogo all the way back to downtown. Guess I am a nice brother.

That's me I've had it for almost 3 years now and love it. I doubt I'd ever change it. You picked up Rzoop's right? Like it so far?

Mine's been in the barn all winter, i don't drive it daily any more, and about the farthest it gets into kentucky is newport. Most people on here haven't seen it on the road unless they're with me.

I do see a few 8's in my neck of the woods, but I don't recognize any of them from here.

It's cool dude we got it done pretty easy. New cars are so much easier.

acmarauder: it was nice to meet you and your wife today. Congrats on the car again

It was good to see everyone today as well. Quite a turn out.

It looks like you guys had a great turnout today. I'm sorry I couldn't make it due to finals next week.

Look at the fender gap on that S2. What a joke! That guy needs to drop it an inch or more...

Thanks to Kevin and James, we got the springs in in less than 3 hours. The gap looks a lot better now. Ride quality isn't too much different than stock. Just a little tighter. Hard to tell until I get it on some back roads to see how it handles. I seemed to have followed every minivan in Cincy on the way home.

Good news is that my upgraded starter has solved the hot start issue. I stopped for gas before I left for Columbus and it fired back up in less than a second.

It's going to be nice not having to wait for the damn thing to cool off before starting it up again.

So many purty 8s. Sorry I missed the fun. Pictures like that just might convince me to drive my wife's down, even on a sunny day.

Nice pics Dan.

Last night the wife and I went for a drive in the 8, she wants one now. Automatic of course! This is probably because she is tired of driving the breeder car.

I love the exhaust. Glad I got it
I've heard a handful of duals but none compare to this one, and I'm still running the stock cat lol
The back fire in the cold is hilarious though. Where I live, right before you get on the highway there is an underpass, I had to slow down cause of traffic and down shifted, it went vrooom POP, and the lady in front of me jumped from her seat and kept looking around confused lol

I'm at Fuel most Saturdays that I'm home. These days I'm usually in the Miata, but you guys still talk to me anyway.

BB, better keep her away from my wife and marauder's or you'll be looking quickly for another 8!

We haven't really looked into it yet. If she does eventually want to get one, I think newer is better for warranty stuff. I'll let you know.

I must be a gluton for punishment. No sooner than I get over the sinus problem, I now somehow sustained a nice hematoma in my right lower leg. Probably bumped something rolling around under Steve's car. Good thing my vein didn't just explode... no wait on second hand I wish it did, that way the insurance will cover it in case I need them removed. jeeez

Doctor says I need to wear some kind of stupid compression sock that keeps pressure and goes up to the knee, yeah right, in Colombia, with shorts on, ain't gonna happen, I'm not trying to start some new "LL Cool J" fad with the sock.

Could just wrap it with a compression wrap or something. Worst case, just grab a sport wrap and wrap the sucker tight (but not tight enough to cut off blood flow... haha)

I told you not to stand on the strut when Kevin was unloading the spring.

Man, sorry to hear about the bruise. I'll make it up to you next time with a larger pizza.

About ready to pull the trigger tonight on wheels. One more pass on a few sites and I'll put the order in and hope to have them by Friday. I'm taking Friday afternoon off, and if it's raining, I'll get the summers off the stock wheels and move them over to the new rims.
