Saw a grey Mazdaspeed kitted 8 the other day on Rt. 1 near Dorsey Road. I rolled my window down to listen for a BOV but I couldn't tell if it was FI or not. I was in my Shinka turning right onto Rt. 1 next to the Burger King. Any idea who's 8 that was? It looked very nice.

 

does it have gold wheels and a ms bodykit???

 

Ive seen it too and have made many shout outs in this thread and the TiGrey thread, to no avail I dont think hes on this forum,,, In fact there are several tuned 8s I see regulary and arent on the forum...

 

hopefully i can join this piece too. i used to live in columbia but now i'm in york, pa. not too far away but my heart is still in c-town.

one love

 

uhhh what???

 

I think maybe somebody (cut & paste) in the wrong spot?

Or, I need another drink.....

 

^^columbia, md. where the fuddrucker's meet is held at. one love son...one love.

 

lols, I also understood hush.

 

speaking of Fudd meet, anyone know when the next one is....

 

haha thanks for those who understood
i used to work at that starbucks and see the meet all the time and drool at all the cars

now i have an 8 and definitely see why people would meet up, i'll be at the next one for sure.

 

hey hush wanna come up to the g2g at Aberdeen? theres a thread in here and in the NE forum...

 

Hey guys, I figured id ask around here does anyone in the area have a OEM oil pan laying around?

 

^^^ PM'd... where you located??? I have it in my basement, havent cleaned it yet but its in perfect condition...

 

My latest addition,,,

 

Very sexy... although goddamn it's a tight fit in there.

 

Very nice install.
Did the kit come with the bushings to offset the strut bar?

 

No, I built the spacers myself with longer stainless bolts(MS were zinc coated).
Pettit built the kit off of OEM specs(OEM strut bar)

 

yeah but I still can adjust some things alittle to fit the filter more, Im currently modding my upper factory airbox enclosure to box it all up, but its been so freaking cold out this past week I havent got a chance to go out and spec it out...

 

are you thinking of adding a RB duct?

 

That looks really nice with everything blacked-out. Even blacked-out the throttle body. I didn't even realize the strut bar was modified until darnellm mentioned it. How's the power and drivability?

It does look very tight, like changing the oil filter is going to require dropping the front subframe... I'm planning on putting in a relocation kit, and I don't even have a supercharger.

 

I have the RB duct in my basement but OD(Denny) said when he put it on it was creating a backflow swirl affect of his radiator,,, So im gonna be modifying it to alleviate that problem...

No actually changing the filter is easier. I just reach under the new UIM and grab it from the passenger side rather than the drivers side...

 

Rotr8 great to see your car this weekend. Im going to hold you to your word about that ride. Thanks for the oil pan, I'll put it to good use

 

Cool baysj, remember to look into getting some garage time up at Aberdeen, I'll post the craft shops website tomorrow...

 

hey just thought i would say hello. i'm the proud new owener of a 2004 8. so seeing if there are anymore 8 owner up here in carrol county

 

The worst thing ever is to see your baby put into a shop for 2 1/2 weeks because of someone else's stupidity. I was driving down a highway (can't remember which one) and I was going about 65mph. A bungie cord flew off of a utility truck in front of me and, well, I had no choice but to run over it cause there were cars on both sides of me. The cord flies under my car and one of the metal hooks hooked into my rear left tire. It must have spun around a few times cause it busted holes all up in my tire well and messed up the body all around the tire with hugh gashes. I had to pull over and wait for a tow cause my tire was done for. Yeah, I showed up at the auto repair place and saw my car all torn apart. It was like watching it have open heart surgery lol. Had to ride in a freaking rental the entire time. That's my horror story for the year. Last year was a hit and run. Saw my rear bumper hanging off my car when I went out to drive somewhere lol.
