Eric, I'm trying to get Ron's turbo in Before Steve comes... Also i have to get 350 + dyno by then. If i get it in time, can i just pay for it that day?

We are thinking about recording this dyno so we have a proof this time of what the AF61r's numbers actually are.

If you guys see any changes that need to be made, please let me know.

Everyone needs to make a checklist before Steve Kan arrives. This is what he said in an earlier post.

"Here're some items to inspect/replace before the dyno. New plugs (less than 1k miiles), new fuel filter (less than 5k miles), inspect spark plug wires, oil change, full tank of whatever gas you normally run, inspect tires (no nails or anything that can fly out during the dyno), inspect coolant fluid (change if necessary), clean air filter, put all the mods in that you plan to run before coming to the dyno (I don't think there'll be enough time to install them on the same day)."

I can't wait to see that 650 rwhp!!! Yippeeeeeeeee! We can all laugh at my meager sub-250 rwhp TII with an SAFC

 

Well, I've got the supporting mods to do it......... Just hope we don't run into any problems.

Hey don't feel bad, my first RX7 was a stock 86 N/A. I would always tell people how fast it was until I actually raced someone

Talk about a reality check.

 

***** to the walls

 

My car just broke... I'm working on just getting it running first! lol

LoL! And we can laugh at mine as well... if I get there.

 

+1, sub 250hp club.

 

I still have my 87 N/A... I'll eventually sell it. I'm just trying to see how reliable this TII is going to turn out to be... I'm still breaking the rebuild in...!

 

What is the last day you will be accepting the depsoits? It may be close, johns over seas but has told me it will be done when he gets back, but it's been like this for months. The motor is in, I heard over the phone. It might not happen in time who knows.

 

Anytime unless we have too many people, 10 cars max.

 

Hotel information to those who need it.

I'll be leaving at 7:45pm friday to pick Steve up from the airport. We'll then stop someplace on the IL side to eat. Anyone want to ride with me?

We did this last time, it was pretty fun......

 

Just to let you know Lupe, the guy at Tuxedo Racing did not "hold" the checks... he cashed them, so just thought I'd let you know.

Two weeks!

Josh

 

Well i guess i better go deposit some money in my checking.

 

My appologies,

Mis-understanding on my part........

Who plans on going out to dinner friday night or riding with me to pick up Steve from the airport?

 

I will if its alright.

 

I'll be leaving for the airport at 7:45pm friday evening and then we'll be going out to dinner on the way back. We'll stop off in Ofallon IL which is close to the dyno and my house. You can come for sure.

Lets meet at DR Autosports (Davinci). I'll be there all day but we'll be leaving for the airport at 7:45pm. If you want to meet us at the restaurant instead, that's fine.

Two weeks until Steve arrives right????? Sorry, sounds like you guys are gearing up for this Friday or something... just verifying.

 

Two weeks correct, I just like planning ahead

 

Less than two weeks away

 

 

I know I'm sounding like a total newb, but besides tuning a particular engine management system or air/fuel controller... does Steve do anything else as far as tuning the car? Just off the top of my head... things like TPS adjustments, timing adjustments, resetting a baseline idle etc etc... do his services extend beyond just tuning the engine management system?

 

Yes, yes, yes and yes

He'll do whatever it takes to get your car running the best without tearing it apart.
