Thats where we stand now. We had a few others interested and had enough for another day, so - we added another day. But, I'm going to cut it off at that as I'll be booking the flight this week.

So as of right now, there is ONE singular spot remaining on that Tuesday morning. I know someone will jump on it, so act fast if you're considering it.

Also, I'm going to be arranging a get-together at a central location in the near future to lay down some deposits for everyone who's going to come. I'd like to hear some suggestions for a good meeting place in the GTA thats easy to find and we'll set that up. Probably just going to grab $100 from each of you, this is just to solidify your spot.

So any suggestions on a time and place are welcome. I'd suggest a sunday noonish time given that most of us work weekdays etc. But I'm not too sure of a good spot in the city....

ALSO LET ME KNOW WHO WANTS THE LAST SPOT!!

Thanks guys

Hey Joe, not to throw a wrench into things but I'd like 2 spots + I'll be there with George's car as well. Think you can accomodate it? I can work with whatever date works for you and George. And I definately need the dyno for all 3.

hmm, I'm not sure Brent, there was only 1 spot available and that was only because I botched the list George is signed in for 8am on the saturday right now......I could maybe talk to the dyno operator about another additional day, but I'd have to see. Let me talk to him and I'll post back later.....

I am sure JO will not mind renting the dyno for another day. I can drop of the total amount that I would owe to JO at the dyno. I could just give him my dyno cost and tuning cost as a deposit?

Let me know.

And I did not realize that there were that many modified rx7's out there for a tune. Nice.

Cool, let me know when you find out what you can do. Worst case I'll just get Mike's fd and George's fc tuned. I can take my time with mine. I can tune them, but I'd like to take advantage of BDC's extensive experience.

OK Brian's flight is booked and I'm sorry Brent but he'll be leaving thursday due to flight availability so this is all we're going to book at this time.

Still looking for suggestions on a meeting day/time. I'll just start throwing locations out there in a bit so if you've got a preference or a good spot, speak up!

HA, considering mine's going in the paint booth monday night....I can't be hypocritical and say no. So yes??

But if you're asking if I can do it, I'm pretty booked up at the moment. I'd need a little more time to get some of the lingering winter projects out the door.

Sorry,

I'm still unclear about where Brian will be staying at and where exactly will the dyno testing be going on(Adress?). Also when will we have finalized prices? And when do you want deposits and where. Thanks

Sam

Dyno location

Price:

$350US - paid to Brian
$200CDN - dyno..........paid to me.


Deposits I'm still trying to get a good location for most of the guys, obviously if you can't make it email/pm me and we'll work it out but I want to make sure everyone is down, and this is the best way.

I'm going to be setteling up with Jo when I go for my tune on the first day. We aggreed it will be easier for him then trying to find out who's who each day and extract the money then.

So after I've started taking money - I'll post the same list as above with your payment status (paid in full, deposit, whatever)

Next couple of weeks we'll have a time/day setup for the deposit meeting.

EDIT: Brian will be staying with myself at the start, and most likely Jim in the middle since he's offered, and I'll take him back to the airport at the end. (flying into buffalo)

I'm a little unclear, did you mean that there's one spot? So I can get the fd tuned, or is there only a spot for George?

My laptop battery is going to die a horrible and smoking death after this.

Anyone that hasn't emailed me please do. I'd like to take a peek at the specs on ya'lls cars and such; possibly get some base maps built ahead of time to save some time.

Everyone who's currently on the list has a spot and George's spot is on the Saturday morning. If the FD you're talking about is on the list, then its in. If not, then there's no spot for it at this time. ***IF*** someone backs out, you'll have a shot to take it, but it'll be first come first serve and thats only IF someone flakes out.

Nah, it's alright. No revolution in tuning skill here so I doubt it'd be much different. I'm just looking to save a little time ahead of time since it appears that Joe is going to have be really busy!

Meeting spot

On March 30th (sunday) I am going to be at the Tim Horton's on the southwest corner of the QEW & Winstonchruchill exit.

I will be there between the hours of 10am and 12pm to accept deposits.

I will be looking for your dyno fees in full, as I have arranged to pay the operator for everyone's spot when I arrive on the first day. So get your $200 ready

If you cannot make it out for whatever reason, please post here or PM me and we can arrange an email transfer or a paypal payment.

As of now, making your deposit will be what holds your spot, so if you can't make the payment, consider your spot up for grabs.

Any questions, post here of PM me.
