WB RX-8 at the NE Auto Show today.

 

Was already gone by the time I posted here, was a quick trip. I'll be back in MA again in a few weeks for Christmas though I'll remember to post next time and say hi to my fellow Massholes

Anyways, here's the pic of the 8 I saw in Amherst:

 

I was driving home from school and saw a silver 8 in the cracker barrel parking lot around 11:30 am.

 

Hmm...that guy is on the forums, didn't know he was in amherst though, good to know. :D

Cracker Barrel in Tewksbury, eh? Hmm... Nah wouldn't have been James.

There is a new Galaxy Grey in Waltham on my street. don't think they're on these forums though. Tried waving before but they weren't looking, or weren't interested in some young punk with a roll bar in his car. lol

 

Departed my Myles Standish industrial park yesterday behind a white-on-white "Sleeper Modz" RX-8 with plate xxx . AVA (alas in my Jeep). It had a nice single pipe race exhaust.

Made me wish I had driven my '8 longer this season, but today's snowy commute made me thankful I have a 'beater.'

Altspace, isn't Sleeper Modz one of your affilicates?

 

Sleepermodz white 8. That's Bob! :D Good racing buddy of mine. Kind of funny you ran into him. He's actually running my HKS Hi Power with a custom tip. Sounds soooo nice~

 

Heh, and you have my stock exhaust. Am I ever going to get it back?

 

Bob's '8 would be nicely camouflaged right now. It did sound good. Is he NA or FI?

 

He's NA. Runs in B stock for autocross.

lol you'll get it back soon as BHR releases their catback exhaust. :D

 

Huey52 - That was me definetly! Are you the black "8" in the Wilshire Lighting lot? I go through Industrial Park two days a week to pick up my two Foster Sons at their pre-school. I think I passed you once and flashed my lights.

No longer B Stock - SCCA combined B into C Stock now I have to go against
those pesky Miatas!

 

So hot!

 

Nope. As you might guess from my avatar an '05 Shinka. Alas now hibernating. Great lookin' white '8!

btw: where's that autox course. Looks like an airbase/station.

 

I keep forgetting that..so you're C stock now! You should still go into STX though. :D

 

Sorry I'm old everything is fuzzy to me - I hope to buy the wife a new vehicle this spring and I will end up with her old car as a beater so I don't have to continue to drive the 8 all year - Thanks for the comments, I do love the exhaust sound, the kids love it to, always asking me to go faster!!!

Moore Airfield - old Ft. Devens Ayer MA - great site to autocross

 

Why spend money to go slower - If I get my *** kicked this year maybe I will look into it for the following years. Still have two plus sets of r-comps in the garage to use up.

 

Heya Bob!

Enjoy my chair while you can! (I'll get it back one of these years)


Huey,

Devens is a great autox place compared to other locations I see on the web. I don't get to as many of the events as I would like, travel, timing, and burning my summers smooth this past year kept me away from most of them.

I try to have video running every time I go out though, if you want to take a look at more of the location:

That's what I thought. At least Devens is getting some use. I wish they'd open up the former NAS So. Weymouth runways to autox like they have the former MCAS El Toro. But the same lawyers that killed the aeroclub there would probably do the same.

Nice run; barely any roll. What sways, etc.?

 

He's running Koni yellows for shocks with stock size konigs, and 285 hoosier R comps, and the HKS hi power exhaust. Thats all he's got! :D Speaking of Sways though, were you thinking of ever upgrading the front bar Bob?

 

Huey, who are you referring to there? Bob and I both have WWPs (2 of the 3 in New England, Shakeyourbrakes is the only other WWP I am aware of, and his is clearly modded). The video is mine, and completely stock, Zelse is referring to Bob's setup.

If Bob has some video, I'd love to see it.

 

There is a video of Bob racing in my car on my blog. :D

Sorry for the poor quality: This is when I had a co-driver for the day, there is a second run out there after this.

 

lol... Bob... I like how you attach a different picture of your car every time you post

 

Your car looks slow :/

 

Bob, I think he's talking to you

 

Nah, mine is the slowest.
