We have a bunch of cars going for BIG POWER so expect a problematic weekend.

Wait, every weekend is problematic. This is St.Louis afterall.

This list has changed again, Manvero can't tune until sunday now so everyones spots are moving up. Please take this into consideration when planning your trip to the shop. GET HEAR EARLY !!!


Please, make sure you're there early just in case someone breaks. If your name gets called and you aren't there, you'll be moved to the back of the line.


TUNING STARTS AT 8AM

Could a new guy to the area come? I get off work at 7am, and can probably make it there by 8-9am. I will just be watching, and making conversation. I always like watching dyno tuning.

Let me know.

One more reminder:

<font size=+1 color=red>DON'T USE MAPQUEST OR OTHER ONLINE MAPS TO FIND YOUR WAY TO THE SHOP!</font>

Follow the directions at the top of this thread they are 100% accurate and very easy.

See you all this weekend!

Well, this has somewhat got out of hand. People have made plans for now and I can't simply move people around one day ahead of the tuning date.

If you can find someone to swap with your spot, you'll need to do that.

I'm going to leave you at the #3 spot, if you're not there then I guess you're not there and you'll be moved to the back of the line.

Nothing I can do.

I feel like a little kid on the day before Christmas today, I'm nervous and excited. The car has ran great in break-in. I'm going to change the oil tonight and change the plugs out from the 10s i used in break-in to some new 11s. I'll give it a once over and I should be good to go.

If you're driving it from INDY, I would just run some junk plugs on the way here and change out the good ones when you get here. You don't want to foul out those high dollar plugs on the way here.

We are tailering it in and the plugs are B11EGV's, only $5 a pop, but need a thin walled socket. I'm not a big enough baller to run $40 plugs.

Speaking of thin walled sockets...

<font color = red>If you have wheel locks or "tuner" lug nuts ... <font size=+1>BRING THE KEY!</font></font>

(We use a dynapack that bolts to the wheel hubs)

I'll be there tomorrow as well, mostly to watch and work on tearing down my RX7 a bit. Didn't leave there till damn near 2 am this morning. And I'll be back around 7:45 or so. Egh. Probably will drop the rear end and gut the interior. Didn't do any work on it tonight, I just brought my tools in and changed the oil in my 3.
