    BG in Tigard Oregon

    A few days ago I came upon a couple BG's in the Parking lot of the King City Albertsons in Tigard Oregon. One is a 323 with a GTX/GTR midwing and LX wheels. Grey in color or primerish. The other is a light blue Protege with stock blacks on it with some kind of exhaust. Was wondering if anyone on here knows who these people are cause I live REALLY close to that area and would like to meet up if interested. Would be kool to compare cars and knowledge.

    Doesn't sound familiar to any I know. Should put a note on the windshields next them you see them, point them to the forum if they aren't here already.
    No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

        "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

          That wouldn't be eric. He lives on the east side, no where near Tigard. Remember when he complained about the PDX meet that only a few showed to, and he drove 3+ hours? it takes 3+ hours to cross OR.

          So no, not Eric. keep thinking.

              I know who it is!!! It's not sleeper. I'm trying to think of what his s/n is... The blue car is a stock dx with exhaust, and the flat black car is my buddy ryan's old car... BP powered...

                Haha that DX is mine and the other is my roommates. That DX is just a daily driver the real cool car will be my black 4wd I'm converting into a manual with a BP05 engine.

                  Oh snap. I totally forgot you're down there. Still working on the 4WD?

                    Ya :/ I need to get that thing up soon it's so sad it's just wasting space right now. But I do have the engine back together now so all I need is some cv axles and some evapo-rust and I'm set.

                      Good to see that the mystery has been solved. I will try to stop in and set up a mini meet or something.

                        Hey, when you do the 5spd swap let me know. I am looking into doing the same thing to mine. Never done a auto/5spd swap before. Still trying to collect the parts necessary but it shouldnt be to long now, assuming my sister ever gives it back to me. LOL!

                          well my swap is with a 4wd but ya it is going to be a pain in the ass cause i gotta get parts from a 4wd which makes things hard.

                            Yea I can imagine that it would be harder to come by those parts. I just need to get my butt down to the J/Y and get the parts I need to do the swap.
