Sounds good man - my nearest airport is Newport News, VA.

 

Jin if its during the week you would have to count me out I could come for a day and definitely would. Think about this too thats valentines day weekend right if any of you have gf's and ditch them that might be your head lol.

 

Uh, crap. That's right. Kane, how much extra would you charge to completely eliminate Valentines day too?


My wife wouldn't forgive me being away that day. Sigh.

 

Alrighty! So let's try to figure out the most optimal day lol...

I realize that the 14th is Valentines Day, and it is also the Chinese New Year (Korean too, I believe). So yeah, it's tricky regardless.

What about 12th/13th? Kane could take an afternoon flight or so, we'll do an evening class and dinner (pizza, anyone?), and maybe another class on Sat before he goes back.

 

That would be ok with me. Might miss out on the dyno - but we can get a solid 4-5 hours in the evening if everyone is down for that.

All I need is some space and a big monitor or LCD tv or projector etc... I will bring all the cables; but I can't really bring my 32" LCD monitor.

 

12th/13th would work for me.

 

The Dyno would need to be on a Sat. let me talk to my tuner about everything because he's fine about the Dyno day but I have to tell him about the class and all. We could use his garage and all so that would take care of all that. We do have some snow coming here and its hard to set things like this up when people can't drive here in the stuff. As for Kane "if" we get this all figured out, He could stay at my house (baring wife's approval) and could come into and out of MacArthur airport. I would need to know who would be interested in using the dyno.

 

Let the wife know I am mostly housebroken....

 

By the Way, if your tuner bud is not feeling really pumped about this situation let me know; I am not trying to cramp anyone's style.

 

Speed - thanks for the info. The setup you described (pending your wife's approval) would be good for us. The snow is coming in this weekend, so I'll hope it goes away by next weekend. I don't know how many of us were also interested in doing the dyno - I was planning on doing a baseline of mine for future reference.

Please keep me updated on the Dyno day event - if we do 12th/13th, that would coincide with the Saturday (13th) that the Dyno day could occur.

So for the rest of you guys (RX8YA, RX927, TanyerRX, RIWWP, DJ.NADA, heyarnold), which of you want to include a dyno run?

And the maybes (treceb, lepichichi, NYC Drift King, Doublegoose) - is the date 12th/13th good or bad? Any other suggestions from you guys? The location is pretty much set for NYC/Long Island - the dyno shop is 30 minutes from Queens. Price looks to be maxed at $800 (ignoring dyno run costs).

 

Cost of Dyno run? I am not a fanatic about it yet, but if the price is low enough, it would be interesting to see where I am at.

 

is the dyno an AWD dyno, if so i may be enticed to come up and also learn something about tuning.

 

I'm not entirely clear on the cost of the dyno run - Speedfreak would have to clarify that.

I don't imagine our entire group would need to do it - I was just wondering if any one of us would. Speedfreak has other people discussing it in the LI forum I think.

Quoting Speed from the LI forums:

 

Dyno is $75 per car and it is a brand new 4 wheel drive dyno.

 

I'm to exhausted too read. Pm me the date and price when set up. I'm free on weekends only... =]

 

I'd personally call in dead but that is just me

Kinda annoyed I just found this thread now. Though I have sadly left the 8 world I still like to keep my knowledge up to par (or attempt to damnit!). Sadly loot and fixing the 240SX are sucking any form of extra cash outa me for a good road trip.

Whomeva goes to this I can honestly say are very lucky people.

 

NYC Drift King - I'll pm you as soon as I get all my information down.

I apologize that I can't choose dates that fit everyone, but if the rest of you can tell me if the 12th/13th is good or not, we can settle on that. So far only RIWWP has said a definite yes to those dates. For the people who said they can't do weekends, the Friday night would work for you guys. And for the people who can't do weekdays, the Saturday is good for you guys. Any other objections?

 

Sorry to report my Tuner will not be ready in the amount of time we were thinking. He still has some cars he needs ready for the races that start in March. The only other shop I could think is Function7's spot, I will see what they say the only thing is no dyno. It was just to soon guys sorry. I'm still down to help with anything!

 

That is cool man - we really didn't need a dyno, it was just a nice to have.

So we still 12th - 13th?

 

For now, I'm pushing for the 12th/13th.

Speed, no problem dude. Would you still be willing to go to this class? Or were you just trying to tie this class and the dyno together?

 

I would love to hang with you guys but I can't do the class because all my funds are tied up into my FI project right now and that's what I should be finishing up next weekend. It would have been so cool to put us all together!

 

You're 8 is going to be so awesome with that Esmiril turbo lol.. well, I'll definitely try to do your dyno thing whenever you reschedule it.

 

Wow i though this would be a few weeks from now.

If it could be pushed another week i could offer a two car garage at my house/52' plasma tv/ driveway for 6+ and im 5-10mins from the GWB.

 

Hm - I don't mind pushing it back a week, but I won't be around lol.

So if enough people agree, I'll set it up to be the weekend of the 19/20 or 20/21.

 

I have to sign into work on the 20th, so we would have to do the 21st if not this upcoming weekend.
