Oregon Rx-7 Owners
 

Where are all the portland people at?

Usually... Lurking, hiding, waiting....

The RPNW meet at Round Table Pizza is coming up real soon though.. Wednesday@the round table on Capital highway [Can't quite remember the exit number.. but if you're heading south it's a little ways out from downtown on the capital highway exit ^_-]

If you search a little, I think Blake's post has a map to it.

Other than the RPNW meeting.. the Portland area is pretty disjointed.

Aw man, I'm not sure if I can make it to the meet. But I would like to see a bigger community in oregon.

well anyways I'll start it off =] I'm usually around around the SE 82nd area and I go to PSU. I drive a NA 86 base model (see signature pic). Postponing S5 turbo motor swap until spring/summer... or whenever it gets warm again.

Im in gresham. if you've seen my car im sure you'd know it. its a candy cane :-)

haha I know you. You used to work at Performance Warehouse. You quit a little bit after I started.

I am in Hillsboro...if you traffic Baseline or Cornell you'll spot my Red Hoopty.

LMAO I'm never in hillsboro.

what's up kyo,the hood looks good on the car,what did you do with the one that was on it when i sold you the car

what did you drive to work? cuz i never saw another rx7 there

We hide and come to track days ;)

hide. . . mhmmmm. im pretty sure theres just a lack of portland area enthusiasts is all. im in beaverton and have tried to get meets together around town but much to my dismay only one or two at best. most that have ever been gotten together besides an rpnw meet is like 3 lol.

you work a PW? i work at baxter, do you work will call or what?

red hoopty, gotta be more specific than that. after all it is hillsboro and there are many hoopty's

im over on the north side of portland and worked at performance warehouse also i saw josh's car there a few times after ian pointed it out in the lot. i worked at pw until agust so chances are i know most of the ex pw employees in this thread.

cool, yd u guys all quit pw?

i quit becasue they treat everyone like shit there i was like the 5th most senior employee there most people had only been there for 3 or less months, where id been there for a 1.5years. they wanted us all to work 12 hour shifts everyday and do 20 diffrent jobs but wouldnt pay anyone more then 10$ an hour for it. so most people found higher paying jobs at nike's warehouse. and most of the people from the portland warehouse bailed when they moved to hillsboro.

Which baxters are you at?

<--- (avatar) My red hoopty is a '93 FD VR Touring, black power coated rims, and a couple extra gauges for sanity/peace of mind.

I quit when they moved to hillsboro. It was really fun near the end of the move because there was nothing to do and we were still required to show up. Weekends were the best. Pallet jack races and drifting FTW. I miss those times, best job ever.

When I first started at pdub I got a ride, but I started driving my rx-7 after about 3 weeks after. I think i started driving it after you left or my schedule was totally different from yours.

Well I'm in the SE Area around 82nd, I own a black 87 TII, I'm apart of a group call Gripswing! You normally will see me on i205, i84 and highway 26 because I work at Nike.

im at the beaverton store, u'll see my fb.

yah i figured the warehouse was in pretty bad shape cuz no one was happy about all those idiot kids zeroing parts after lookin for 30 seconds. no joke some guy zeroed a part cuz he couldnt reach it and he couldnt opperate the forklift. yah when i went to the portland anex there were like 3 ppl there it was ridiculous.

lol and when they want you to work those 12 hr. shifts and you do and you get all that overtime they yell at you then right? lol its fricken ridic

SE portland. I own a gutted white MR2 with gold gab sports, and my brother has a black 93 Rx7 with gold gram lights. We should be out to more of the track days this coming year.

Well I've got a couple 87's..
the Super Base [profile pict], and a GXL. [gunmetal]

both down at the moment.. [water seals on the base, rear diffmount/DEQ on the GXL]

I'm down in Tualatin, but I work at the Mac Shop in Lake Oswego [whatever one you might be thinking of you're probably wrong ^_-]

I've been wanting to get out to meets more often but it usually doesn't work out [and it doesn't help that now both FCs are down.. ]

i was at my wits end with the pullers i was the inventory guy that had to look for all the zeroed parts i would get 130+pages of zeroed parts everymorning that i had to go look for and 99% of them where right flipping there where they should of been. it because robert l wont fire pullers for not doing there job. and most of the large parts in area 7 get zeroed becasue people are to lazy to get on a manlift and get them down. almost everyone there was lift certified.

haha yes we must continue our race. Hey hit me up n lets go kick it. Let me get at some shoes too :icon_tup:

LMAO i was probably one of those 3 ppl that you saw. I was a scanner but I worked as puller when they were short handed. I never zeroed unless I knew it wasn't there. Spent 10 minutes finding every other part lol. I never got overtime pay it was bs or even holiday pay, they said part time doesn't get holiday pay. Oh well doesn't matter I messed around a lot during weekends so it makes it up i guess.

haha inventory guy.... matt? lol

I live in milwaukie but usually spend my time in se portland, by 82nd and holgate. i drive a red 88 2+2 "slammed":cool: to the ground.

nice but i've never seen you and i'm around there a lot as well.

I have seen both of you.
I work off river road.

Quyet, haha I don't even have your number and the 7 is down for right now.... Gotta get a new rear driver control arm, bent the shit out of it hittin the curb. You might not have some extra wheel by chance do you? or is your fc 4 lug? Or anyone here have a pair of TII GXL rims? haha I need some bad! Just 2

I think I've seen you!

130 pages thats ridiculous!!! yah i wish they had fired the damn highschoolers after a few mess ups but NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO theyd just chew there ass out and then give em a pat on the back and tell em its ok. fricken A!!! even now theyre still zeroing parts when they show 20 or more. i ordered hella conversion for my fb so i could have some decent lights and they showed 48 in stock at hillsboro, zeroed. i oredered em from seattle and they showed up with the nite stock when i ordered em at 5!!! it was awesome. but now im waiting for an engine crane i ordered last week, they show 24 in stock. my part is tagged toted and no one has picked it up!!! i think i'll swing by will call and tear em a new asshole :)

nope did the am shift 6-2:30 m-f

skip baxter wants to burn down the hillsboro warehouse he hates it. he ordered a gdi rad for a customer we had 7 on hand and it didnt show at store #1 until 37 hours later he was pissed. last time i was in store#1 they said they lost 70k in sales in one month at that store alone. the reason you havent seen your hella from hillsboro is no one can read the hella part numbers there. to many numbers on the package for them to figure out.

haha I hated the hillsboro warehouse. Made me sick because of the mold. The aisles weren't correctly marked so aisle J was actually I and that confused me for the short time i was there.

isnt it wierd how 90% of portland rx7 owners work(ed) at pw...
yah i was da illest weekend puller.. but 8.50 aint cutting it (and hillsboro is too damn far!). so now i drive a truck for almost twice that.

You may have seen me around portland/beaverton...I drive a chevy s10... stock... metal rims....
Oh and my montego FD :lol2:

which is in pieces *see the monster thread

so until then its a :Wconfused paper weight!

lol buy my parts so I can pay off my swap!

ya that mold was focking sweet i was out for two weeks becasue it made me cough so hard i started blowing chunks from it. and when they kept changing the isles that was a nightmare

don't you have a case against them then?

lol yah i wouldnt wanna make skip mad. any baxter for that matter, anyone in the "higher up's" in baxter i dont wanna make mad. lol i like my job :)

i got the hella conversion eventually but first they sent the wrong ones and then i ordered the euro spec ones and but em on that day so its all good. the warehouse is just in shambles, there are soo many things to fix. not just in the warehouse but in all the stores, i think since the warehouse move all the stores inventories are off or maybe ours is but now were switching brands on certain parts n everyone puts em in the wrong spot!!! arg!

the inventory was a joke all they had me do was put an x there if it was on the shelf no counting or anything. and when i asked how that was going to help the problem they went off about shut up and do what im told. when i told dave from the tigard store he was like f this warehouse. most of the employees hoped it would burn to the ground

yah i really wish it would just funtion the way it should, get rid of the idiots and start gettin organized. the guys who do the nite stock do a pretty good job but the ppl in the day might as well had called in sick cuz then theyd have a reasonable excuse to not get our parts. and the ppl who run w/c r asses, "blah blah blah im busy right now" . . . "GET ME MY DAMN PARTS!!!" gesh i fricken could throttle some of those ppl

the problem starts with the managers robert and keith both need to go. they are the reason they have so many lame employees. and the w/c desk needs people that arent so overstressed to work it they talk that way to clients and wc customers alike. they have lost many good employees because of the management alone for being so rude to them about making the rest of the "team" look bad by getting to much done.

thats ridic, if the rest of the "team" cant keep up too bad for them they need to get there ass in gear n get the job done. if someone told me i was doing to good of a job id be a lil confused and if they said i was makin em look bad id tell em they need to ship up or ship out

Hi folks... I am not driving an FC right now, but I was driving a patchy white S5 NA in Newberg, Sherwood, Hillsboro and the areas between. My car will be finished soon... Start looking for a shiny black S5 NA. :) See sig link "My Car" for more info on the car... currently painting it in my booth.

I NEVER see 7's.... there is a nice black FD here in Newberg though on my way home from work (hwy 219).

Wow I can't wait to see your car. From the pics it looks hella sick already. The interior is already batter than the entire condition of my car. I wish I could do the same for mine, but unfortunately my 7 is my daily driver. I'd love to slap on a new paint job but no time and resources.

I hear ya, I bought a beater nissan sentra to drive while I'm doing this. 500 dollar car and so far its treating me somewhat well.. sucks to drive though. :)

I am in gresham, I work at Autozone on division. I tried to get on at Baxters but they didnt want to hire me, maybe that is a good thing, not that I get paid very well at Autozone but I am working on being moved up to PSM. I kind of like working there, I hated doing my other job installing windows in homes but I sure am good at doing that. Oh hey Scott, its good to see you have joined the forum, sorry I havent called in awhile been busy with stuff.

aw man theres a autozone on division? damn is it closer than the 82nd one?

164th and division. across the street from baxters. they probably scowl at each other through the windows.
