2010 Nor-Cal / SF Bay Area Dyno and Tune Day with Mazda Maniac – Official Thread

When: Saturday August 21st 2010

Time: 9AM until were done or the shop kicks us out. Aiming for 6-7PM

Location: As of right now the only shop that has sounded interested and been available is Hybrid Works in Vallejo. They have a Dynojet 224X. The shop is kind of small but its located on a quiet commercial street so there should be no problem with noise or parking. Best of all its 10 minutes from my house. (one of the only perks of taking on the responsibilty of organizing this thing.)

221 Commercial Street
Vallejo, CA 94589-1909
(707) 554-3770

The price is fair and the owner sounds eager to work with us and be flexible, things should go off without a hitch.



Cost (Tentative): PM’s will be sent with information on how to make payments.

Forced Inductions cars: Dyno Cost: $110, Tuning Cost: $140 = $250.

Naturally Aspirated Cars: Dyno Cost: $75 Tuning cost $95 = $170.

Dyno only: $60.

All the tuning cost are for existing MM AccessPORT customers. If you have never been a MM AP customer or our calibration service has expired, the tuning cost will be $300 and you will be re-enrolled into the Calibration Service for 6 months. If your calibration service has expired within the last 1-2 months, PM me and we will see what we can do for you. Non AP users will be $300+, cost depends on the system used, send me a PM for details.

Non AP Users: The AP has been discontinued so you must purchase your AP no latter then the 30th of July. Follow the link and you will receive a $100 discount off the price of the AP. You will still pay the above dyno and tuning cost. Use the following link: http://www.mazdamaniac.com/cobb/NCDD_ordering.htm

A dyno/tune day is by far the cheapest way to have your vehicle professionally tuned. If you were to rent a dyno and pay a tuner by yourself, you would expect to spend $300-$500 or more.

I need a 50% deposit before August 7th 2010 to secure your spot. The deposit is non refundable Final Payment can be made on the day of the event in cash. If you do not get your deposit in on time, your spot will be filled by someone on stand by and you will be put on stand by.

Please remember that the cost can go up if people decide not to attend. If you are tight on funds but really really want to participate, PM me.

Schedule: List may be modified to accomidate persoanl schedules. Please arrive atleast 30 minuets before schedule time slot and allow yourself atleast 1 hour free after your time slot.

I order the AP july 6 and I paid full price for it, so all I need is paying for the dyno cost right, since I already pay the tuning cost to MM already..

 

No, that is not correct. Had you bought the AP with the link and had it delivered at the dyno day you would have received a $100 discount on the AP at the time of purchase but you would still be required to pay for the tuning. Because you have already paid in full for the AP, there is nothing I can do to get you a $100 discount, but maybe Jeff will be feeling generous.

 

I brought the AP for 629 with shipping, that is the reason I want to ask. If jeff could take that tuning charge toward this dyno tune...

 

wow perfect timing, i leave for Brazil for on August 22nd!

What can I put you down for. Dyno only or are you getting tunned?

 

oops... dyno+tune.

don't really need either but it's always fun to hang out with Jeff and give him ****.

 

Well maybe he has a few new tricks he can try out and get you a little more power.

 

LOL

and maybe he'll give me a lap dance

both things have the same chance of happening.

I just know you've been putting in some work for this so just looking to help you defray some of the expense. It's mostly about hanging around and looking at what other people have done to their cars.

 

Maybe he can give you a few stickers that add HP.

 

I'll give you a lap dance.

 

you two should go... i know you wanna

and rob.. i'll take that lap dance baby

 

what kind of tuning ? im interested in dropping by

 

it's stated in the first post

 

Dyno tuning: Meaning we will have a skilled professional (Jeff Abrams, AKA Mazdamaniac AKA MM) tune your car for maxium safe power by adjusting Air fuel ratio, timing and other cool stuff. The preferred device is the Cobb AccessPort (AP). Read up on the AP at http://www.mazdamaniac.com/cobb/accessport.htm

If you want to purchase an AP and attend this event, you get a $100 discount on your AP purchase if you follow the link on the first post. Please note that you must purchase the AP no latter then the 31st of this month. Cobb will no longer be selling the AP for the RX8, so this is the best time to purchase.

If you check the tuning section there is a lot of AP and tuning info available.

 

I am interested in doing that date (8/21) anywhere in Bay Area, AM/PM fine. NA, dyno+tune, AP bought and TBD by MM @ site (thus owe tentative $170, presumably). Adding my name to list below:

1. Highway8 (dyno + AP Procharger tune)
2. two zero two (dyno + NA AP tune) AM schedule preferred
3. Laythor (Dyno + NA AP tune)
4. tritipdude (dyno + NA AP tune)

 

I'm interested in attending and finally meeting some local forum members.

"Dyno + Tune" for me please.

PMed Highway8 w/ additional questions.

Thanks in advance!
