so when did we become sticky???
yay!

 

Hi guys I'm still alive. The 8's seen better days, but hoping to make some progress on it and get to fuel... if it's not to cold.

Does Fuel have coffee and cars in the winter? I'd assume a coffee place would be open, but auto event's not so much.

 

they are open, and there always some cars, but not like during the summer.
I won't be able to make it tomorrow, as I gotta go to dayton...
will see you guys next week!

PM me if you are planning on coming for shocks/spring installation (on sunday 21st), and some cook out. I'll let you know the direction and my phone number. planning on just a simple hotdogs and burgers.

 

No Fuel for me. Recovering from surgery. I haven't driven the 8 in two weeks. A few more days and maybe I'll burn off the carbon buildup.

Anyone use the GoPro WiFi Backpack and iPhone app yet? I need to upgrade the software on the cam and backpack first I guess. Trying to get moving before the end of Fall.

 

Looks awesome james!

 

James, that splitter looks great. Can't wait to see the car when I get home.

Steve, I hope your recovery time is short. In the interest of helping that along, and since we all know laughter is the best medicine, I'll just leave this here:

best of craigslist: What a Vasectomy is Really Like

 

wow, looks great!

 

No, not the CL post, the new splitter!

 

Ouch! My surgery wasn't that bad I guess. I'll be ready for bikini season next year.

James, Mike - thanks for the thoughts. I'm up and about and actually started up the 8 yesterday. I could here it complaining that I wasn't driving it enough but it warmed up to the fact that I'll be able to drive sometime this week.

James, splitter rocks! Really looks great.

 

Looked at a Fisker Karma over at Kings Porsche/Fisker dealership. Nice looking car. Don't know why anyone would buy one.

Mike, Mazda has a 2013 MX-5 Club Edition out. Kings has a pearl white one with black top and gunmetal wheels. Looked nice, but $29K is a bit steep.

 

Damn, am I going to be the only one in town with a Mazda soon? Does your wife know you're looking at a Porsche dealer Steve?

I have seen pictures of the Club Edition. Nice car, but not for that price. Hell I paid less for my Speed6 brand new. Although by the time I'm done with it I might have close to that in mine (ok, not really or my wife would kill me).

 

Mike, I'm not ready for tweed jackets and driving gloves yet. I'll stick with my 8 and Miata.

 

Gloves are so in season right now.

 

so, who's coming on Sunday?
I'm thinking about start working on my car around 10 or 11.
if anyone could give me a hands, or just simply want to join for hotdogs, burger and beer, or to work on your own ride, please come over!

let me know so that I know how much food I should get.

 

I will come out of retirement for sunday.

I'll bring tools and some extra jack stands.

 

Oxford, right?... I'll be staying in Trenton Saturday night, so I should be in the neighborhood. I won't have my 8 (fixing everything before my tranny warranty expires), but I'll be happy to join and help. I just can't guarantee I'll be conscious before noon.

 

Thanks! without you I don't know what to do... ^^;
btw, thanks for the Brake Cube advice. I got one at sears. (just happened to saw it when i was shopping for something else).

yep, I'm in oxford.
I'm sending you a PM with my address.
no worry about when to arrive. I'll be waiting for you with food and drink!

 

Syncros still giving you problems?

Watching 5th Gear on Velocity. New 911 is growing on me. Maybe if I sell my 8, the Miata, and the wife, I can buy one. Anyone want a lightly used wife?

 

Now I think we can blackmail you.
if you don't want us to share your post with your wife, buy each of us on this thread new 911!

 

Just some grinding going into 3rd. But they're replacing 2,3, and 4. Also replacing the bearings, but apparently those are on national backorder, so I've been driving around an Altima for 2 weeks :/

 

At least it isn't a mini van! Last week I got stuck in one of those. Again. Every time Lucy goes into the shop King's gets me the Mom-Mobile those dicks just love screwing with me. I can believe the bearings are on back order with the rate they go through them, lol.

 

Tact I'll be there Sunday. Already off the schedule for work. Send me your address so I know where the hell to go.

 

Tacti: I'll be there Sunday, I'm going to be throwing on my downpipe for my Sti

 

Turns out my wife's value wasn't as high as I thought. I'd have to give money back to the purchaser.

A Cayman would be more to my liking. I don't see it happening for years. By then, I'll be driving a Prius.

 

So I was standing on my friends porch last night enjoying the party breaking in his new house when I watch a car drive up the street turn around, swipe my front left fender and then speed off. Angry as hell today.
