Ha!

 

Hopefully someone will break it to Dave before 8/28 that the dyno is NOT at KDR... I see him Wednesday... would rather not have to be the one to do so...

 

WHAT? Noooo...



Dave still thinks it's at KDR???

 

He did when we met Tuesday. Talk about a first class guy too!

 

I'll second that!

 

well ... I am seeing him Monday ... *sigh* I guess it is up to me....

 

i could probably get a sixth through a friend of a friend for a really good price. i know they have both modelo, blue moon and yuengling beers available. ill ask what else they have. and ill check if it fits in the car.

 

sweet sounds good dude, I like blue moon, love yuengling and ultra love sam adams summer ale

 

saw Dave today ... he thought it was actually at 2 locations ... I think he took the news fairly well

 

hey wait... I saw Dave today too... and am now minus my car for the first time since i bought it two and a half years ago.

I was there at around 1pm.

 

I was there at 8 am

 

Less then a month!!!!!

 

any update on a 10th spot bump? lol... ya'll tell I'm getting excited? I do my base FI tune tomorrow .... GETTIN' REAL EFEN CLOSE !!!!

 

ShellDude ... you live near philly? Why haven't I seen you around?

 

Coventry / Pottstown area

Overworked old man w/ wife and a house full of kids. I made it out to a rib run a couple years back.

 

shelldude, if you ever wanna meet up to go to KDR or a meet let me know. I'm right in Rofo/limerick

 

I'm heading back Wednesday afternoon.... hopefully to pick up my 8. I could actually use a ride if you're interested on such short notice.

 

damn, weds is the only day i cant do due to my lil man's 2 month check up which is at 1. i need to get up there soon though so Dave can rework my gauge sensors.

 

I'm sure I'll be back up there before too long. Hard to imagine we're gonna be able to get away with a base tune with no additional tweaking.

With that said, my poor 8 was all down in the dumps yesterday. Airbox pulled, battery pulled, upper intake yanked... front bumper set aside (sigh). It did have a intercooler and my second oil filter installed though!

We got set back two days because of $2 gasket. Hopefully it arrives today !!!

 

Yeah I feel your pain... my car was at his shop for like 2 months because of trying to get the engine and new turbo there. The gasket is for? I think I had to get one made when I originally installed my turbo.

If you don't get a dyno spot maybe my tune will work for yours since I have a AT too.

 

Jeff is gonna take care of me........Or I'm gonna sick Jedi on him when he's back on the left coast!

The missing gasket was for the turbine and manifold. After a day of searching various sources, and it looking like we'd have to wait two weeks, he found someone who had a couple they could overnight... unfortunately overnight ended up being two days. Hopefully he's got the exhaust manifold pulled now and is finishing up.

He had to fabricate a couple other pieces for me... had a couple missing / awry pipes, a vacuum hose, and the oil inlet on the turbo too.

 

It is just a standard T25 gasket. You can get them just about anywhere.
I have 12 of them sitting in my parts bag.

 

Dave thought the same thing but apparently it's a T25 XYZ-D (gibberish) or some such...

 

Nope. It is, in fact, just a regular T25.

 

bump from vacation (italy), im trying to get a photographer out to get some sweet pics of our 8's on the dyno and as a group and such.

I'll update when i have access to a PC.
