Excuse the **** picture. Didn't feel like grabbing the dslr.

 

Looking nice!

 

Looking great!

 

The rears are just about as big/bigger than most fronts. If the price wasn't astronomical I'd think about a set for the 8.

 

picked up a spare 8 motor from a wrecked rx8, should make a good core for my turbo build!

 

Nice!

 

the wife is gonna kill me!

striped the block down to the keg, then was going to wheel it into my rear storage area for now, and the cart gave out! stranding the engine in the middle of the house! haha

 

Just turn it into a coffee table.

Side note; posting from a computer and the picture of my rear brakes is ******* huge. I need to fix that tonight. Resnap a new picture of the rear setup.

 

Anybody going to Forum Fest on the 28th? I've got the silver Turbo 8 entered. Be nice to see some locals out there.

 

I have thought about it, but not sure, its a long drive for me, and getting a place to stay the night isn't that cheap. ug

 

Anyone in the the seatac area? I live in Olympia/Lacey. Anyone one to meet up to go to Forum Fest. Kent is 30-40min from where I live.

 

wish I could go! out of town working that week !

 

I have not driven my 8 since mid April. Sucks

 

go for a drive!!!!

 

I wish. I let the tags expire and dropped the insurance. It is a garage queen now. I started it last week though

 

sheesh! is it up for adoption?

 

Definitely not for sale I do really miss driving it. Not much to get excited about driving a Honda CR-V.

 

Dan, congrats on your moderatorship

 

Just dropped my car for service and there was a customer waiting for a loaner, his eyes got real big as I drove up and he asked me with a smile...."is this my loaner?"

 

My wife and I are flying into Portland next week, and we will be there into the weekend. (Her brother is getting married). We plan on going to see some of the landmarks in the area, Mt St. Helens is one of them, possibly Mt Hood. Any specific recommendations or specific routes that are enjoyable? We will have a rental, so a FWD slushbox, but I'm crossing my fingers for a Ford Focus at least, since they are pretty decent.

 

There are a lot of places to checkout. If you go to St Helens I recommend the south side. It is an awesome drive.

A really nice drive is Historic Columbia River Highway. You will wish you were not driving a FWD slush box! If you do both of these drives you are going to see why the PACNW has some of the best roads in the USA for driving.



Multnomah Falls. If you guys are up for a hike it is 2 miles to the top of the falls.



Vista House



Portland Japanese Gardens

Pittock Mansion built in the early 1900s

Bonneville Dam. They have an awesome fish hatchery as well.

 

Awesome guide there pdx I wanna go on the drive!!

 

Grab a temp permit, and I'm sure pdxhak will let you borrow his 8.

 

I have been looking for ways to make some extra cash. Never thought about renting my 8 out

 

Thanks! I doubt we could hit everything, I think we have 2 total days of sightseeing available, but definitely good material here.

... I'd do it too Rent someone's 8 that is. Thrifty is charging me $22.10 a day for 9 days, plus $800 in taxes and fees, most of which is because I'm dropping the car off in San Diego, not Portland. I'd easily drop a few days from that to drive an 8 instead
