Steve Kan Tuning in the St.Louis and Surrounding area.

I'm trying to get Steve Kan to come to St.Louis to tune our cars. The weekend I'm shooting for is Aug 20th or the weekend after. He needs atleast 5 people to make the trip and his pricing is $350 for a complete professional tune.

I've already sent out a few Pm's to people who I think are interested. If anyone else is definitely interested then please let me know.

I've also contacted RXtuna magazine, I'm sure they'll want to do an article on this.

FYI, Dyno tuning and street tuning is available. I'm going to try and set the dyno tuning up at Axis Racing right outside St.Louis. I'll get some dyno pricing and post them. I've priced them before and they were pretty cheap.

Steve Kan Tuning: We're going to need to set up some deposits to secure the date. I think $200 each should be sufficient. I'll ask him how he would like payments.

Just a quick question , how do you get a hold of him? I think it would be a blast if we could get him to come to Canada.

But anyways good luck on your tuning =)

Talked with Steve, we're going to set the date for the weekend of Aug 20th. He's busy tuning the weekend after that.

So whats the chance of this one falling through like the last one? And the price seems to have gone up $50?

This would definatley be easier/possibly cheaper than getting a Wolf3D, but im not sure if I want to do that (keep the Microtech.) Can/does he tune Microtechs?

Well, seeing that I need this tune in order to make it through the race season. It's a must to get him here. The price has gone up, I didn't ask why though.

Last time I talked to him in Indiana, he seemed to know quite a bit about microtech. He prefered that over the power fc for making easy hp.

There is no deadline once we reach 5 people. I hope to have 5 people confirmed 7 days from now. I just hope people don't wait til last minute.

Just spoke with Steve Kan. He's completely agreed to come the weekend of the 20th. He asked me to collect the $200 deposits so that he can book his flight. I'll be sending out pm's to you guys.

Sent out PM's about deposits.

3 deposits have been collected this morning.

I'd hope that you locals are letting all your RX7 buddies know about this. This could easily turn into a nice size RX7 meet

Common guys, it would be wise to jump on this. Who knows if Steve Kan will ever make it back to St.Louis.
