well obviously i kno that bing nd buff are kinda far.. well actually some places are only like 4 hrs away so yea as i was saying.. the city area and long island are pretty close.. they should make a sub forums or something for the owners out in this area..

i kinda have mixed feelings about selling my 94vr4 for this.. but i think its worth it in the end.

plus i wanna kno what u all did to this car since its modern and such..

I live in Queens. I hardly see 8s. I think so far I've only seen a Grey, another shinka, 2 Red, 1 Blue, and 1 black.

Heh ... I like that.

hi nycaps.
I live in nassau, I see 8's all over the place. A lot are the auto tranny modles and i still can't understand why any one would get this car and lose the stick but i guess it takes all kinds, lol.
Is that a pic of yours? I have been thinking about going with a cold air set up but have heard that most leave the check engine light on all the time. what do you think?
I'll be in queens later today (as I am just about every Saturday) around Utopia and the 495, maybe the grey 8 you've been seeing is mine. maybe you, me and llzjayarzll sould start our own ny group.

If you live around Roosevelt it should be pretty easy to set up meets with other owners. I use to meet alot of owners out at the mall. I use to live in Hicksville, now Astoria.


Maybe once the weather is actually nice I will try to setup a meet out there.

Chrism, nice pics of your car. You have done alot to it, and it looks great. I see you are in NJ. Where about?
Also, where did you get your tint done? I am hesitant to trust just anyone. Are you happy with their work?

Ucleadguitar, I saw you today! I was on my motorcycle, a GSXR, and spotted you on Arthur Kill Rd, near the Atrium Cinema!

thanks for the compliments...i live right by giants stadium....about 10 minutes from manhattan....i got my tints done in a real bad hood in the bronx but it was well worth it!...i went there early on a sunday morning and only paid 150 for all my windows....didnt want the windshield strip.....but its been over a year and they are holding up great....i would definately recommend them but only if your not afraid of a few shady looking folks......if you guys set up a NY meet ill come and show you in person
