NW Chat Thread
 

Seems we use a lot of threads in here for general chat so might as well have a dedicated thread!

Do I fit in the NW :) I'm only 5 miles away :lol:

happy wednesday everyone. ;)

i see you lurking there arrrrex-8..

still lurking :lol:

Of course!

quiet night eh?

Yah... I go to Port Orchard tomorrow for a 7pm thing, which means leaving work at like 4:30... I'm really not looking forward to the drive down :(

Is Formula Drift coming to Seattle this year? Thinking I want to check out the 3 rotor 8.

I'm chattering away - LOL

Last time I checked, British Columbia was North of me, but I'm still West of you!

:fingersx:

The wife made BBQ ribs tonight and I ate way too much!

I'll smoke an award winning Pork Butt for the engine party this Spring, THAT will stuff you silly.

Evergreen Speedway July 9-10 from what i can tell. you coming up?

Thinking about it. I'm not into drifting but I want to checkout the 8. You going?

So I'm getting new tires tomorrow. Anyone want to drive around on Saturday to help break them in? I want to try and put 300 miles on them between Friday and Saturday so that by the time I get to Bremerton on Sunday, they'll have seen at least 400. If possible I'd like to hit 500 but I don't see that as being possible.

^ Working, sorry, but it sounds like fun.

In the waiting room gettin ma new rubber right now.

What tires you getting?

Dunlop Starspecs, 255/40-17. Should last the whole season hopefully, my last set was 245/45-17 and lasted for 250 autox runs and 10,000 miles

^^ thanks!

Weather is warming up! We need a BBQ/install/hangout meet :)

I have some sways and endlinks in the mail if you feel like coming up for an install/BBQ day sometime

Wow why did you share that..

Hm, I have some sways and endlinks sitting in my bedroom...

^^nice shaping up already. I can bring beer or food. Would be cool to have time for pics and drive but that may be pushing it.

I'd be up for an install hangout day.

Anyone going to the NWAlfa club performance driving day at Bremerton on 3/21?

My buddy with a 335 and I are signed up and going.

It's raining in Phoenix. I just thought you should know that. :wavey:

Blue skies in Portland something is up.

Blue skies in Seattle too

I have been working since 07:00. Time to get outside and enjoy the weather!

is that a lapping day or what?

Anybody have an engine hoist?

Me :)

Not sure I can fit it in the truck this weekend though :( I can try

You can rent them at some auto parts places...They are $150 ish to buy....if you have the room in your garage

Don't try yet - I have time to think about this. You coming to the States?

Oh yea of short memory.....

I thought you were buying me dinner and beers Friday??

And Breakfast on Saturday ;)

Your on - best beer and breakfast in town! Bringing the family?

LOL

i have one in auburn but not a good way to transport it at the moment..

awesome - we all have time to plan this. I have been studying the engine pull. Looks easier than I first thought. If I can get the drivers side engine mount bracket off the block through the wheel well, it's a done deal with one person.

Mounts are easy...there is one bolt on the top of the bell housing that sucks...otherwise it is just parts removals to make it easy.....and out it comes
