Summer WPB Thread
 
:cool: So how are the 8's in the West Palm Beach area doing? I see more and more around, but less and less discussion here on the forum....Odd. I'm doing well, love the black 8 (even in the summer heat) and try to dodge the scattered showers as they are determined to get my car dirty even though I wash it a couple of times a week anyway.....anyone have any good local stories?

My car may become a test mule for a local rotary shop called japtrix. Those of you at the Ale house meet saw one of the guys from the shop, Roger. We're working on some pretty cool stuff, along some with some really simple (CHEAP) mods that make quite an impact in performance.


I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY SUSPENSION!!!!

I have the racing beat sway bars installed, along with the front and rear mazdaspeed strut tower braces. The spring and the rear struts are at japtrix, and we're still waiting on the front struts.


And we need to set up a meeting soon. I haven't seen any of you in a while, and we need to help pico through his trial of faith with his car!! ;)

set up the meeting at the July 25th Auto X in Homestead ;)

English 07-16-2004 12:06 PM

AC: I wanted to hit that autox...but I gotta split town that wknd...guess I have to wait to show off my technique at Morososo....(hope I don't crash)

PARADIGM: Wow...you're always up to something with that car. How do you like the other mods so many months later? How does the tranny take your rough love? hahah...

Still have yet to meet PICO....his car was a mess a while back.

showoff! :P

Hey, I am still around and would love to get a beer with the WPB group. No issues with the car here, 6 months and 8K miles - no issues. Just the quest to keep the wheels clean weekly which is a labor of love. Anybody seen Deb?

paradigm 07-19-2004 09:48 AM

Nobody's actually "seen" deb, but she still pops up on here occasionally. The way she keeps avoiding the meets, you'd think she doesn't like us. :( ;)

English 07-19-2004 10:53 AM

Yeah...we should set a date to get together early....so she can make plans to be somewhere else. HAHA!

Talk about the ultimate jinx! :rolleyes: :p

Hows this Saturday for beers Boost? English? Paradigm? I think we all live under 15 minutes away from each other (10 minutes the Paradigm drives!) If you are up for it...how bout you pick time and place Paraditty. I have baseball practice in the AM so after 1pm is good for me.

The pico train

paradigm 07-20-2004 01:00 AM

Why you makin me pick, dammit!!!?!?!? I'm indecisive!!!!

And it's 5 minutes, pico. Not 10. It was wet out last saturday, so that's why I was driving so "slow". :D I would've MURDERED that on-ramp had it been dry with no traffic. :):)

picosrx8 07-20-2004 07:41 AM

Your a maniac Paradigm! How bout taking it slow for once when you know I cant keep up! You get me all excited and make me put the hammer down...and you know thats not good for my car dammit!

Booster MPS 07-20-2004 03:21 PM

Sounds good by me. Late afternoon early evening would be best for me on this end.

English 07-20-2004 10:50 PM

Shizznit! I gotta be on the West Coast this wknd....Shizznit!

paradigm 07-21-2004 12:51 AM

HEY!!!!! I don't want to hear any complaints from you!!! At least you got to ride in the helicopter!!!!! :rolleyes:
