Are you in for sure, Ray?

Any takers? It's going in the fore sale section this evening. Price will be bumped up to $240 then (shipping costs)

Jeff - I was thinking about the order and I have an idea. What about putting a "dyno only" car between each AccessPORT/tune car? This would allow you more time to evaluate the next car to be tuned while the current "dyno only" car is being strapped on, dyno'd, and removed. What do you think?

At this point I am scheduled to do a flywheel swap and clutch pedal install for "importshowoff84", a swaybar and radiator swap and compression test for "wcs", and compression tests for a couple others as well.
I knew what the situation was, Ray. I'm assuming everything is taken care of now?

Also, you know I will get my hands dirty helping with the mods if you need me.

I just purchased an AP and will be down there for this! I won't be there til closer till 11 am. Driving from Marshfield to chicago that morning. So throw me on the dyno tune list and if MM can get to tune my car, GREAT!

Might be able to talk my friend thats coming with me to leave earlier so we can be there closer to 8. A 5+ hour drive there and a 5+hour drive back in the same day is going to be fun!

I'm interested, how old is it?
Is it in good shape?
For 260 I could buy a new one.

Just arrived in Chesterton... 7 hours later

I wish I could pay for a tune but I don't own an accessport (or anything like it for that matter). Next time I guess

I'll still be there to ask an irritating amount of questions though.

OK, Added to the list!!!

There will also be a Chicago Evolve Meet on Lakeshore drive after the dyno and a cruise around town after that. If you guys wanted to get a hotel room for Saturday night and drive back up to Wisconsin on Sunday I promise it will be a good time.

Look at it this way; you are going to see a PTP kit, an Esmeril kit, a nitrous install that I did last year(was it?), and a ported Renesis all in one spot. You know how RARE that is? The only thing missing will be Jeff's car.
Don't forget about Steven with the Greddy turbo kit. We are only missing a Mazsport, SFR, and of course a MM/BHR turbo kit to have them all in one place at the same time. Hell, that doesn't even happen at SevenStock.

Sounds interesting. I have to be in wisconsin rapids at 8 am sunday (so thats 5 hours back to marshfield, drop my friend off, then 1 hour south again to wisconsin rapids )and my friend has to be back for sunday. Not to spill to many private beans, but he has some family issues that he needs to be there for.

Looks like I will have to pick up a 12 pack of jolt for the drive home!
