Sounds like a good idea. Let's meet at Starbucks off of 217 in the Fred Meyer parking lot. Anyone else that wants to meet up to roll in together then let's say be there by 12:15. We will leave around 12:45.

If anyone needs direction then send me a PM or reply here.

Starbucks
11405 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy, Beaverton, OR‎

Great meet today. Talked to Rob from Pineapple Racing about the two 3 rotor Renesis motors he is building There is a high and low HP version. And he is thinking he will build these in the future for others (like me he he). I plan to stop by his shop in the near future to check out the motors

Also talked to John the owner of Apex Restoration about getting some work done to my car. Hopefully the car will go in soon...

Good stuff but I have to ask... what's the ballpark figure on the engines, HP and cost?

He did not provide much details nor did I ask for any. But I plan to visit his shop to check out the motors and talk some specifics.

While I would love to go my 8 has a leak in my tire and I can't just get it patched apparently due to the fact that my tire doesn't have enough tread. Can't afford new tires right now so the eight gets to look beautiful in my garage... Tears

Hi Patrick! Long time no see buddy. Here let me give you a hand with this issue.

Step 1: Remove the wheel with the slow leak
Step 2: Get some soapy water
Step 3: With the fire fully inflated poor the soapy water over the tire
Step 4: Look to see where you find bubbles!
Step 5: Tire plug kit, sold at your local autopart store
Step 6: Follow instructions what the kit says

Done!!! Cost you under $10 and you will be out in that sexy VR 8 of yours.


Side and important note. If the leak is coming from the sidewall or near the crown (edge) of the tire it is unsafe to plug it. If its in the middle of the tread, plug away.
