Since you are going first please be there at 8:30 so that we can get you loaded onto the dyno and ready to go by 9:00, OK?

Because Jeff and the shop want to dyno the cars that don't want a tune first.

Yeah, the AP cars need road time with me before they are on the dyno.

Is it okay to just show up and scope out the cars? Dynoing my car would be pointless, but I would love to get out and see many of these FI'd rx8s.

Sure, stop by and check things out. There are going to be some really nice people and cars to see.

No, you won't really miss anything except the RX7's

Is there some sort of Viagra for my car? I don't want it to get stage fright.

Bring $60. It might only be $50 but I would rather be safe than sorry. The list is in the first post of this thread.

It is also probably worth noting here that tuning is a nominal amount above the cost of the dyno pulls.
I think Tommy already brought up the numbers, but remember that MM AccessPORT tunes and anything else are two different values.

Yes, just so everyone is clear I am putting the estimated cost for each person next to their time slot and name below. Remember that if someone doesn't show up the cost will go up.

9:00 - Rotary?Cool - dyno only (RX7 TII) -> $50
9:30 - moremazda - dyno only (RX7 FC) ->$50
10:00 - lilring - dyno only ->$50
10:30 - Macius8 - dyno only -> $50
11:00 - Charles R. Hill - dyno only -> $50
12:30 - Devildog1679- AP -> $150
1:15 - ARRxATE - AP -> $150
2:00 - mrslysly - AP -> $150
2:45 - wcs - FI, AP -> $150
3:30 - steven000e - FI, AP -> $150
4:15 - importshowoff - FI, Int-X -> $250

kill me now....haha o well....I figure this will be good anyway because either the dyno and tune will help in selling the car or I'll at least have charts to show what it could be....after I part the esmeril kit.....I just htink it would be less of a hassle and headache if I were to just sell it for 24K. Ugg...I'm gonna ge toff topic...we'll talk Sat.

Sounds good. I will bring 3 bags of chips and 24 slices of cheese. Everytime I cook out I always end up missing a couple of slices.

Man.... I'm excited & I don't even get to be there.

My car's dropped off at Performance Autowerks & awaiting a its time in the sun. It will be sitting outside for over a week at that point, so it's gonna be all dirty compared to all you guys.

Too bad I don't get to be there, but at least I get to enjoy the benefits of this awesome event.

Thanks guys!

I'm getting up early and washing my car. They have the ones you drive into and just put some money in and wash it yourself. They're all over

You don't even want to know what my car looks like. It has been setting in my garage for 7 months. I think there is a layer of dust an inch thick on it. If we can get it running tomorrow I will wash it. Otherwise, you all get to see it all dirty.
