SE. Milwaukie area.

I drive all over Portland for my work though.

I have a good friend that I visit often in the beaverton area

 

Hey serega12... You don't happen to own the WWP that is often parked about a block away from a McDonald's in the day time? (I know, there are a billion McDonald's, but I just didn't want to be incredibly specific on a public forum. )

 

No, I'm usually parked at Intel during daytime.

X RX8, I might run into you sometime then. What do you do to drive all over Portland? Our cars aren't exactly the best on gas mileage, especially in traffic.

 

Really? What campus, and what do you do?

I'm an Engineering Technician in D1C. I've only seen two other 8's around Ronler, one red and one grey.

 

Yes maybe we can meet up sometime.

I do property management.

Don't talk about gas mileage. I'm jus happy I took off my midpipe. lol

 

Same campus. PM sent. This is a public forum.

 

Did that help with gas mileage any?

 

Welcome serega12 Not too many 8s on the west side that are on 8club.

 

Picss :o

 

New motor should be here after Thanksgiving. I might miss the Toy Run this year

Not much to really show Viilee. Car will be sitting like this for awhile. I'm just working a butt ton of over time and being on 2nd shift I cant do much work on the car. Im just collecting parts and rebuilding the lsx engine

Im in no rush to get this car done. Taking my time. Everything will be done by myself; motor, turbo fabrication, cage and paint. Prob a 1-2 year project.

 

^ nice.

 

Are you talking about Brad's or yours

 

did you have a fitting welded into yours for the windshield washer sender/motor??

 

hah good question..

 

Lol viilee, my names victoria you can call me vii

Its still very nice! I lovee fd's
What kinda cage you gettin
Sounds like your doing what I was doin with my s13 hatch but I gave up I have a weld in but I just gave up lol no time at alll.
But good luck def not a car id give up on if I had my hands n feet on lmaoo
Keep posted !

 

I will be building my own cage. I have an autopower boltin in my RX8 currently.

 

Ooh sounds fun full cage?

 

FD full cage. RX8 4pt.

 

Nice setup!!!! looks great!!!
one day I hope to have something similar!!!

 

Nice project RawrX8, it will be cool to see that FD when it is running again. It looks like a good base to start from. What turbo are you going for?

My FD should be back on the streets in 2-3 weeks. Total down time: 4 months. What started with a transmission shifting issue turned into a rebuild of the engine, transmission, and differential because I thought while we are in there we might as well get some more power and then with more power comes better parts to handle the power. Now I will need bigger tires to put the power down. It never ends.

Here is a pic of my new daily beater, it should be a bit more comfortable and slower than the FD. It is quite an upgrade from my 2001 Pontiac Sunfire with 230,000 miles that I bought for $300.



viilee206, you should come out to the NW Toy Run if you live near Seattle. Sounds like a few RX-8 people are going.

 

nice r35, did you pay cash jebus that car is expensiveee lmao
Yeah im going! Is there a meet spot if its not to far cause im 5 min away from pgp :D


Cant wait to see the one you build, welding the other in? After I did my cage I found out not track legal but my hatch is toast now.
Nnnn very nice cage I couldnt sacrifice my back seats ! Lol

 

The exact specs will be nailed down after I work out the total build process, but 76mm. Go go flipping truck manifolds with vbands!

It will be awhile Welding which one in? RX8 stays bolt in, FD of course is welded. You should have read your reg book I dont mind not having back seats. It makes stuffing my autocross wheels in the car easier; 2 go where passenger seat is, 1 slides through the trunk into back seats and 1 in trunk.

PS less quoting pictures of pictures

 

Truck manifolds? I didn't even notice you were building a turbo LSX car, that is going to be a fast car. Now I really need a ride when it gets done. I have been wishing I had built a turbo instead of all motor LS1 for the past few months because I love turbos so much but now I have the GT-R to satisfy my turbo urges. But I really wanted a high power simple and reliable all motor car for the track.

Be sure to take your transmission to Ellis at http://www.speedsecretsefi.com to get it built to handle the power and he is also the best tuner around. He has tuned some sick high HP turbo LSX cars. He is taking care of my FD now.

 

I meant the fd cause idk you could have been making bolt on :P
Next time I will read the book
Yeah I dislike the back seats not going down :p but good luck
You keep the seats in storage or completely gonee?

 

My orginal plan was a stroked LS2, but after the wishlist of parts I couldnt see doing it. Dad and his vast turbo knowledge suggested I just go 5.3 turbocharged. Motors are dime a dozen and it will be slightly different. I have an hour a day and few on the weekend, if I'm not exhausted. Will be a year plus build.

I won't be posting a build thread till I'm fully finished but when I make good head way I'll let you know. You and Kari can swing by and look.

My leather interior is sitting in my closet. I don't have the steering wheel.
