Crud..I "JUST now" got done waxing my skinka and would love to show her off. But I have to work that day.

AngryBumblebee 04-20-2009 04:02 PM

ill try to make it down there

dondo 04-20-2009 04:12 PM

i could be down as well. i like the idea of cheap dynos

Akisan2 04-21-2009 10:32 PM

You guys who haven't been there should definitely check it out. FP is one of the better, if not, a best import shops around with 3 of the coolest guys in the industry!
:)

pdxhak 04-21-2009 10:36 PM

Have you had any work done by them?

Be great if you guys could make it down for the meet!

Aipex8 04-22-2009 01:11 PM

I'll make a prediction. Pdxhak and myself will be there, and no other 8's will show. Come on, prove me wrong!

Nemesis8 04-23-2009 04:30 PM

Maybe - it would be awesome to go on over to the track in Grass Meadow also.

Yes I have, infact I only get work done from there, nobody else.
I don't have rotary car anymore though. :rant:

and1kidd 04-25-2009 03:17 PM

I might be able to make this. $40 for 3 pulls you cant beat that.

RawrX8 05-10-2009 05:48 PM

Im 99.99% going to go. Im going to leave Friday after work and make the TnT at PIR that night. Hopefully I wont run into hell traffic like I did my last Portland trip. If anyone wants to drive down with me friday let me know.

Nemesis8 05-11-2009 11:11 AM

Are all the slots full for the dyno?

Nemesis8 05-11-2009 11:37 AM

Never mind - I see they will not make a list until the day of the meet. I think I will come down to see how my decarbing has improved things.

pdxhak 05-11-2009 11:43 AM

I plan to dyno my car. Last time it was on the dyno the shop had issues with my car so I'm thinking the numbers were not correct. Also I have new OE coils and plugs.

I am hoping Aipex8 puts his car on the dyno as well because he has a reman from the place sleepy-z works at.

Nemesis8 05-11-2009 12:08 PM

When they say BBQ, I hope they really mean BBQ and not just grilled dogs and burgers.. LOL

If I head down friday come out to PIR and run your car with me. You can get a 99% accurate hp number by a pass down the strip. Than compare it with the dyno. I want to see if the added K&N and straight pipe give me 1-2 MPH extra. Not like thats a big deal but its better than losing MPH.

I'm not really into drag racing and not sure how well my car would hook up. But maybe I will run just 1 or 2 times just to see.

Well if I make it out there and its not pissing rain than I can help you out. Dumping the clutch at 9krpm wont do you any good :p:

It is $35 +$10 PIR registration fee if you haven't already figured that out.

Its also a lot cheaper than doing a few dyno pulls to get your HP rating. If your not paying someone to tune your car thats the best way to find your HP. Plus its a lot more fun. Be amazing if it was like last time I was down there. 35+ passes before I headed out at 9pm. Was so worth the money. My tires didnt think so :Eyecrazy:

J.Cab 05-17-2009 02:02 AM

So who is all going for sure? I am thinking of trying to make it down there...

Nemesis8 05-17-2009 10:02 AM

I'm 50/50 since my car is all torn apart right now... But, if it is real BBQ and there are rotaries involved, and if I can get a slot on the dyno...

Lots of if's for me it seems.

dondo 05-17-2009 10:45 AM

i'm planning on being there. kevin, you can do it man! come hang out.

Nemesis8 05-17-2009 10:48 AM

If I make it, I will bring my compression testers with me in case somebody wants to use them.

dondo 05-17-2009 10:49 AM

nice! maybe we can meet up somewhere down south by you and head in together.
