Dyno Tuning Day with MazdaManiac 8-4-12 (Seattle Area)

Hey guys--

The time has finally come and we're booked for a dyno tuning day with MazdaManiac on August 4th in Kent, WA at Intec Racing.

The address is:

25911 104th Ave SE
Kent, WA 98030

We have the dyno booked all day so I'll edit this space for the exact times once they're settled. Jeff is arranging his flights now and should be in the night before on Friday the 3rd.

Theoretically we have space for more folks to join for either tuning slots or dyno runs as we'll only be scheduled to consume 6 hours with the three FI builds Easy and I have been working on. That leaves two hours free on the normal schedule and 6 hours free if we opt for the extended twelve hour schedule.

Please let me know if you have any interest and we can discuss timing and fees. Flat fees are charged by MM and the dyno shop for rental of the space and hire of the person to strap the cars on so the math will follow depending on who joins and what they're doing. In general NA cars use 1 slot (one hour) and FI cars use two. Current MMCCS customers aren't charged anything more for the service but non customers are charged a discounted $150 to reup their subscription (which is good for a subsequent six months) instead of the standard $300.

Anyway I'll be around on here between now and the fourth to get everything sorted so I'll leave it at that. If you don't want to participate but just want to hang out that's cool too so come on by.

Peace.

your presence is always welcome. might be worth some pulls on a new dyno though.

Wow, really wish my new engine was ready to go. I don't suppose you could ask Jeff if he could bring a Cobb AP down with him, I was going to order one on the 3rd anyway, and it would be awesome if I could pick it up from him while he is here. Will he only be here for the one day?

I'll show up after work, and I would like to pull if there's room and it's not too late. What's the schedule?

I would love to go, at least for one pull just to see where the things are at with my ignition setup right now. Would love to know what the numbers would be, for a single pull at least, if you have any approximations.

if you're gonna get strapped on we might as well do three pulls since the loading/unloading takes the longest. I think it'll be around $30-$40 for 3

Dang, my AP Dongle is not working. I'll be there to borrow a dongle for a test to see if that is what my problem is. No dyno for me as i am not ready.

That sounds pretty great actually. Sucks that I might be working as early as 2.30 pm this Saturday, and I work in Edmonds, which makes me wonder about the commute this Seafair weekend... But i would really love to get in on this, maybe go for a few pulls around 11am.

Let me know if there is any kinda sign-up/commitment needed. Thanks!

I'm officially out. A few things came up that is going to take up my money. I'm hoping to drive up and hang out though. Maybe I can sneak on for a couple of pulls just to see where my car is at
