2.Turbodrx7(Gt40r FD)

After we find interest, Dan(scrub) has kindly agreed to organize the session. So we will start doing deposits.

I think daten should get in on it as well. He's getting very close to being done. Would save him a trip to Texas and back

If possible I'd like to get pics, or take have a lookover these cars before allowing slots to be filled. If people are local enough I'll set a date prior to the tuning to meet up to make sure each car is up to the task. After last weekend and all the problems we ran into, I don't want something like that to happen again.

Haha!

Well I can attest to the work being done on Bryans (daten) FC. It's super clean, everything is weather pack'd and the wiring job is top notch. I'm sure he'll post up some pictures soon enough.

Even though we were one of the ones that did have problems at the session...I do highly agree, some cars are being put together with shotty work.

Just curious, why do you guys keep going back to get tuned? Do you go in and mess with it, screw things up and then have to get tuned again? Just seems like the same guys get tuned over and over and over. (not taking any shots, just curious)

Your asking why we get tuned over and over? LOL. Well the motor on the fc blew on the dyno on saturday, which is why we need a tune for it. Daten just got his t2 swap done, so he needs one. Who else do you see?

Changing setups or blowing up on the dyno. That seems to be the most common reasons. Or other people not being ready by the time everyone else wants to tune and therefore requiring more tuning sessions.

Alright so we have 3 people interested so far.....We'll give it another week and see if anyone else is interested. Don't forget this tuning session isn't limited to Rx-7s Steve can tune other cars as well.
