Looks like 40% chance for rain the warmest it will be tomorrow looks like 62 degrees @ 6pm. So if we made it down there between 3 and 6 it'd be warmer.

Here is email:


Those who have been following the forum saw this comming. Those who haven't sorry for the late notice but Champa is in town (prior local owner, 1st Turboed 8 in MN) and so a last minute extremely casual lunch was arranged. So casual in fact we are meeting at Fuddruckers :D. This is not an official club meeting/drive/etc. just a lunch to say hi and of course chit chat our car some too. Feel free to come and go as you wish...you don't even have to eat, just stop by and say hi .

Where: Fuddruckers off 394 on the South side of the highway between the Louisana and Xenia/Park Place exit. I reccommend taking the Lousiana exit. Address: 6445 Wayzata Blvd St Louis Park, 55426

When: Today, Friday, April 21st. Lunch starts at 12:00 but guys will probably show up starting at 11:30a to talk cars outside.

Any questions don't hesitate to call me.

Best Regards,

Jason

We had 6 people attend; 4 8s (Red, Black, Silver, Silver)

It went good. Food was excellent, cars looked nice, a Titanium 8 drove through as we were just meeting up in the parking lot. Eventually we will have every color 8 at the meet that is the ultimate goal .

Do we have any Shinkas out there yet?

hmmm I haven't heard about a turboed red...although Speedrx8er had the first turboed 8 in the state until he moved across the country a few months ago.

Now 4 years to supercharge just bought a turbo, a TURBO, HA! He'll make it purrr I'm sure

Purrr

We will probably do a group turbo install when the time comes to install.

Need to get the flooding TSB done, soon.


Did you notice a difference other than sound with the Turbo XS?

I have done the 4-point strut brace in the front and plan to do the rear brace.


For a daily driver I find the stock suspension fine. Except when there is wheel hop.

From what I have read the rear brace was supposed to be stock but the trunk space was a priority. Makes sense though reserve it for those that don't mind giving up trunk space.
