Word! I might have tomorrow off...but I have a very strenuous day planned. I have to sit on a tube and float down the river while lifting a beer can repeatedly to my lips for about 4 hours.

 

Wow sounds like a horrible time. Don't stress out too much..

 

And then 6 hours later, you will realize that no one has had to stop and use the bathroom yet....

 

i'm falling asleep while i werkz on deez bimmerz. bout to crawl into the back seat of this 7 series and take a nap...

 

Hey, as long as there are no snickers bars floating in the river and everyone pees downstream from me..i could care less. I don't wanna feel any warm spots lol

Poor thing. Did you bring your wooby with you to work to cuddle up with?

 

wth...it's not called wooby!!

 

You guys are hard to keep up with. I log in once every few days and there are 5 new pages :-)

Anyone down for a meet & install in the next few months? I've got new rotors & pads to install before I get the new wheels (and matching 275/35/18's -- just 4 u Im_Danomite) on the '8.

 

Sure! What are you installin' on my car?

Seriously though, once I get up there, Ima have to start playin with her. Im hopin ya'll will help play with her too.

 

I'm always down for meet and install days. I'm pretty much done with major upgrades for my car for the moment, but I am more than happy to help with anybody elses stuff and chilling.

 

i'm down...but no more working til late in the night with rain, hahaha! mccain, what wheels did you get? i'm such a sucker for wheels. i got my 8 running, so i'm definately trying to hang out!!

af7mn, we can install some MD summer air in your tires. cause that TX air is no good up here.

aaron, any updates on the whippage??

 

^^^ for real Dan, that was such a hassel,,,
Im a sucka for wheels too they're like shoes that a girl has to have 50 pairs of,
If they were cheaper believe me I would have 50 sets of them...
My new winter wheels are gonna be Volk CE28's hopefully if the sale goes through...

 

So anyways mcain and af7mn you guys gonna come out to meet us at the Crab meet on the 25th,,,

 

damn, that's some nice winter wheels.

 

yeah I figured that I cant use my oe's anymore so I might as well go all out all year round...
I have first dibs on Silvr8s wheels in the FS section, they're 9.5's with an accomodating offset for the BBK, and like most everything I get I just cant leave emm alone they will be painted too,,,

Ohh btw car goes in the shop next week for some transforming,,,

 

those are some nice winter wheels. rain installs are never fun. rainy days without cover should be saved for urgent repairs only.

danomite, congrats on getting her back up and running.

I went with the lmt'd edition black enkei rpf1's (18*9.5+45). I didnt want anything too flashy; just light, wide and mildly affordable. I figure they should look pretty nice as I have a brilliant black with a touch of chrome and 5% tint. The only downfall is that I ordered them last month but I'm going to be waiting until August for them to arrive.

 

niice, i like those wheels. very stealthy look to them. if you need tires mounted on them, let me know. i'll mount and balance the whole thing for a cheap price.

so the other day i swapped out my JIC exhaust (it's leaking) for my buddy's stock exhaust. it's been sitting outside for who knows how long. that **** smelled so bad, i initially thought something crawled inside and died. i bolted everything up, started the car and floored it to blow anything inside out. sure enough something shot out about 5 ft., then it got up and ran off...******* mighty mouse.

 

Now this one is just to easy to comment on!!!

 

Note to self: RX-8 = great mouse trap

 

Mazda, building a better mousetrap. Dan, no news on the turbo yet, basically PFS was backed up dealing with a couple of problem cars. They did a baseline dyno of my car NA with incomplete tune showing 190something whp. The trims are all jacked up, so it was down at least 10-12 hp from running pig rich. Apparently the car is pulled apart and they will be working on it this weekend. The goal is to have it done by the 11th so I can take the car up to the Import Face-Off event. I'm going to be annoyed if it isn't ready for that, but as long as its done in time for the 25th I'll be alright. I have added on a lot of additional work after all.

 

Hey Olorin did you happen to have your car at Schafer and Strominger on Joppa Rd yesterday, I saw a TiG just like yours getting a MS front bumper put on, I figrede it was you since I saw your oe bumper in the FS section...

 

You need to tell them to light a tourch under their ****!!!! We have car shows and meets to get too! And don't get me wrong, as much as I love owning you in your GEO vs. my 8, you need to get your girl back and show the beauty of FI!!

 

Ima try and make it on the 25th. I should also be at the thang on the 12th.

 

The Geo makes baby Jebus cry. It's going to be quite a shock getting into my car when its finally done. It's normally pretty jarring going from the Geo back to my 8 when its just NA. The jump is going to be rather severe now. The Geo had ~95 crank horsepower when it was new. It's old now and I imagine its got 60 whp or so at this point tops. I'm shooting for 325 whp with my 8... so 5 and a half times the power. Yeesh. It's no wonder I decided to upgrade the brakes on the 8 before driving it.

 

^haha, holy crap dude. that switch between cars is insane!! so you are def in for meeting next sunday at the columbia mall?

 

Yup, planning on it. If my car isn't done I'll be there in my wife's 8.
