Great to see everyone here.

 

i'll post mine up soon.

 

Hey everyone, i just got my 8 about 3 months ago and never had a chance to get on here and post. i see you just had a meet, i missed it I would like to come to one, even though my car is still stock. please let me know when you get something together again.

 

where are you located?

 

i live in northern KY right near NKU, all the pics on the AA highway are right near my house

 

It looks like you guys cruised to the fairy again. I was going to come but couldnt have gotten there til after 3 and figured everyone would be on the cruise by then.

 

damn, i live right off of anderson ferry.

 

sry for the delay with pics. here they are :D

Driving from Louisville:

Parked by the ferry:

 

 

or should i just make a sep thread for pics in the multimedia forum?

 

Didn't somebody get a video?

 

Yeah! I forgot what his name was! but he drove the yellow protege... he got a really cool video of us leaving the ferry heading to 275.... I would like to see it

 

i was gonna ask about the videos too. does anybody know which forum he's on?

 

Damn, sorry I missed the cruise. It looks like you guys had a great time. I couldn't get out of work b/c one of my coworkers was auditioning for American Idol and I had to cover for her.

 

i dunno i've been checking most of the forums to try and find it, css, 7club and 8club. not sure if there is a protege forum... oh and yeah its not youtube, although i did find the one from may...

 

Where is everyone? I know we just had a meet but I'm ready for another one!

 

I'm still here.... hiding...

 

guys I have officially purchased and LS1 engine & a t56 tranny from a salvage corvette......
Now I will be in the process of R&D with a local mechanic on fab the parts i will need to mount the engine in the RX-8!!!!

I am hopping to have all finished by next summer!

 

Now it gets interesting. From what I have read the LS1 is an all aluminum block with a total weight including trans of 450-500lbs. How does this compare to the stock RX8 weight of motor and trans.

Also, the engine will product 350HP in stock form with a whopping 360-375 ft/lb of torque. How are you going to deal with the traction control? obviously, you will need a stand alone ECU. Sounds like a great project.

BTW What are you doing with the RX8 motor???

 

if you would like to add another rx8 to the local scene, i would love to chill with you guys. i just got my 8 like a month ago and ive been trying to find some more people here locally with them. im in the florence area by the way.

 

Welcome!!

 

seems like we need another meet now. perhaps 8's only this time? :D
