I've seen lots of 8's in Beaverton/Portland/Hillsboro
 

Summer time brings out the 8's. Anyone in the area?

There are few that "live" in my neighborhood, Sexton Mountain/Cooper Mountain and I've seen plenty on the road. Exchanged a wave with a Shinka and ignored by a red auto w/MS kit. I notice a black base model black frequently drives by my house. Last night I parked next Stormy Blue (I think) in Tansaborn.

Anyone here?

I am a block or two away from you. I have the 05 WWP GT. Any interest in a Zaino order? I am getting low and was looking to share shipping costs. Monty

I have not seen your car around lately so I assumed you moved :) As for the Zaino, I was going the Liquid Glass route. How much is Zaino?

I am still here. I am not sure which Zaino products you want. One of my freinds and I need some of the polishing pads and did not want to spend $8 on shipping!!! I think the pads are $2 each. Zaino has a grat website.

I just did my wife's 2000 Acura TL and it feels like a new car. by the way I am selling the Acura as her new G35 arrived yesterday.

Hey, I bought my rx8 in Beaverton, then drove it to California where I am now. Those were the first 1500 miles on the car.

I grew up in Portland/Beaverton; a lot has changed in 20 years in the area now called "Cedar Hills" shopping center...

I think it was about $75 for the kit I got. It's a very long process the first time you do it, but it definitely looks nice. Here's the thread that got me sold (Jedi is crazy for the stuff):

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-show-shine-26/zainod-my-car-first-time-brilliant-black-76125/

I just finished doing it for the first time:

Wash the entire car with dawn dish soap
Clay bar the car (I did the hood twice)
Wash the car with their car wash soap and dry
Apply a layer of z2 and buff off
Spray and buff a layer of z6
Apply a layer of z2 and buff
Spray and buff a layer of z6
Apply a layer of z5 and buff
Spray and buff a layer of z6

In reality it was a much longer process for me because I did it over the course of a few days and my car was outside, so there were a few extra wash and dry steps. Total it must have been at least 6 hours. Once you do this whole process once you don't have to do it for a long time.

I'm usually speeding around Intel Ronler in a WB. Honk if you see me, I only ever pay attention to cars that are in my way.

Other side of town than me. I'm east of the Willamette, generally in the Clackamas/Oregon City area usually. My boyfriend lives on a little street that runs between Barbur Blvd. and Capital Hwy. so I'm over in that area pretty often.

i need to have a cookout sometime this summer and have all of you over. i havent had a cookout since 2004. im in tigard mostly

zoom44,

Sounds like a great idea!

Saw a few 8's yesterday on the way home from downtown. Coming out of the tunnel a red GT and a black kitted 8 with a personal license plate, 1st RX8. Similar graphics as the Cork Sports car but different color. Also saw Ti Gray at Cedar Hills.

I like that idea. :)

I'm on the East side of Vancouver now, but I visit family in Hillsboro fairly often. I won tickets to the Champ Car race last weekend including VIP parking. There was a VR 8 parked next to me after the race.

I work off of Karl Braun in Beaverton and live in Forest Grove

Mine is a bone stock '06 Galaxy Gray GT.

I am new to portland... 3 wks... just got internet set up last week. I live near mall 205 and work in swan island. nice to meet you all.

I work near Swan Island! Who do you work for?

Mall 205 isn't too far past my work. I work at Kaiser Sunnyside. So I'm usually there or hanging out at Robbie's store in Oregon City. Anyone need a good vacuum or sewing machine? LOL

I dont post much on these forums, but find it weird how many other 8's you guys see day to day. I honestly am lucky if I see 1 every week, if not longer.

I have an 06' pearl and live in the woodstock area.

I live in the Beavercreek area and there is something like three or four in this kinda spendy housing development right off Beavercreek Rd. Interestingly, there was only a lady with a red one that I met at a post office once when my car was still on order. Then I got my car and shortly thereafter Janet got a blue one that looks pretty much identical to mine. And then someone around last summer a guy with a phantom blue one showed up in the same general area as that housing development, and now there is a silver or gray one (haven't gotten close enough to tell for sure) in the same general area. Oh, and somebody out in the area bought a used yellow one in the last six months. I haven't followed them to see where they live yet, though. LOL

It's kinda funny how many there are out in my general location, because it is a rural area.

Saw new or new/used White RX-8 in Murray Hills on 155th today. Seen several others in the Beaverton area over the last week or so.

I have seen a few and I'm in the beaverton/Hillsboro area. If you see a Ti Grey with a young gentleman at the helm (what are the odds... ;) ) say hello. :)

You know what's weird? I see every color BUT Ti Grey here. I've seen a lot of yellows, blues, reds, and silvers. In NYC, all I saw was Ti Grey. It's like the complete opposite here.

LOL I see a few TiG's around the area. Saw one yesterday in Beaverton which could have been 93rdcurrent.

I resemble that remark...

Was I wearing black sunglasses, listening to loud music, and have yellow fog lights? If so you caught me. :)

There was a driver and a passenger and the driver was wearing a hat (yellow or yellow on it?) by Hall Blvd and Albertsons grocery store.

Exchanged a wave with a nice VR with MS kit leaving Murray-Schools shopping center the other day. We definitely have lots of 8's running around our area.

Probably wasn't me then... I don't have a yellow hat. I was wearing a camo military style hat the other day though that has like a gold painted crown or something I was probably wearing it backwards. The rear brake light has the RX-8 emblem in it if that helps. Well if you see me say hi. :)

Im in Wilsonville, just bought mine 5 days ago.

Congrats and welcome!

Bumping this old thread because I have seen a lot more 8's in the area :)

Today I saw two VR's and a WB today. A blonde woman at Hart and Murray. The other VR w/Borla exhaust parked at Cedar Hills mall by Golf Galaxy. The WB was an auto going south at Cedar Hills and crossing Walker.

Also a BB with chrome wheels driving on Hart and Murray last week. Another BB on 125th by the Rec Center. And a TiG in the Cooper Mountain area.

I'm in the Beaverton area right near Murray and Hwy 26. I hadn't seen any for at least the first 2-3 weeks I had owned mine, but now all of a sudden, they're popping up everywhere ;)

Although most of the time i see them parked so haven't gotten a chance to meet any of the owners yet.

I did honk at a lady behind a blue 8 but there didn't get any kind of response :(

The bbq idea for the summer sounds good!

I've not seen too many in Hillsboro. Odd part is Royal Moore is always selling them. More in Beaverton. However, there is this guy at PCC who also has a AT TiG 8 with glued on carbon fibre covering the turn signals and brush painted "smoked" tail lights. Really the only other one I ever see.

Guess I gotta come out to P-Town more.

It was nice meeting you the other day! You will see more 8's as the weather warmer.

BTW Did you forget something at the bottom of Mary's Peak?

haha no, i was just practicing a few 180s before I left again :)
yeah it was great getting a chance to meet and talk with you Sunday

Once the weather gets dry again i'll be taking my 8 up skyline for some runs just to get some practice in and familiarize myself some more with the 8

I'm on the intersection of Portland and Gresham on Stark st.

Hello
 

Hello all,

Yes, it could be mine. I traded in my Acura TSX to 2007 RX8 Black sport model last winter.
I live in Beaverton (near Weir Rd) and commute to Aloha. Every now and then, encounter red RX8.

Hey - nice bump indeed. Tell Zoom44 that if he ever gets around to having a cookout, that I will attend. haha

:yumyum:

BBQ!! Come on Zoom44, fire that grill up and let's get some 8's together!

I saw two guys in a VR on Murray and Allen last night around 10:30 PM. Also a BB and TiG on NW 21st around 8AM this morning on the way to work.

Pir?
 

I am far from being a racer but would like to know the best route to drive at PIR.
I looked at the PIR schedule and it seems it will run about $250 to 'race' there?
I also hear from my co-worker I could race in a club day such as Porsche club.
I figure I ought to ask here since there must be alot of you think like I do.

Any thought?

Check out cascadesportscarclub.org for events. First time out you will need to take a class at PCC before attending the HPDE.

I'm hoping to attend June and September :)

^ ^ bump

<-----winning blue 8 u saw near nike i think i honked i dunno ussually do though. saw 2 more after i saw u galaxy green and a pearl. thought there was a meet i didnt know about:uhh:

More 8's floating around!

TiG in my neighborhood with a license plate cover that says Military Police.

I saw zoom44's car at the Washington Square Mall this morning. His license plate gave him away ;)

Parked across from zoom was a red 8. BTW there are two red 8's running around with blond ladies driving them. I used to think they were the same person until one was following me and the other passed me going the opposite direction :)

hey that's rightr:) i was there i had some breakfast at the starbucks with oliver in the car seat. then we walked around a bit and then on the way out played some Wii .

They ha e a bunch of Wii's set up right outside the starbucks in the hallway there:)

sorry i didnt see ya. i should really meet up with you some time

I see 8's all the time around where I live in Tualatin.

We should meet up sometime! Maybe next year we can get a BBQ meet and greet for the locals :)

I keep seeing them all over the place lately, too. There's a black one that also works at Kaiser, but haven't managed to see him face to face yet. The best I've managed was to see his car parked near mine in the lot and then another day on my way into the parking lot for work he was leaving and apparently has no idea what stop signs are for as he nearly hit me. Grrrr!!!!! LOL! Also saw a yellow one there about two weeks ago coming from the road where the ER is at. Had a license plate that said "RX-8."

I'm at Washington Square a lot. One of my ways of killing time in the mornings before work if I've been at Robbie's (he lives a few minutes from there, about two blocks from where Capital Hwy. and Barbur Blvd. meet) and have to move my car so he can get out of the driveway to go to work. I can't fall back to sleep if I have to wake up that early and do that many things that require thought, so I just get dressed and go wander around the mall with my latte for a few hours.

hey guys, see a couple on my way to work in Beaverton, say hi if you see me, i drive a black one with license plate D1MA

I see the same older lady driving a VR with the appearance package every few days here in Newberg. Ive decided since my 8 dropped so much in value, combined with me not driving it for 3 weeks then getting behind the wheel, that I'm keepin it. We need to do a meet soon.

good choice mate!
