Tuning place will most likely be in Olympia Wa again @ HP connection. I will leave that open for another week and then seal the deal. If you have suggestions please let me know.
The dyno needs to be eddy current and it would be nice if they had steady state tuning ability. The reason that I like HP connection is because they have a very affordable dyno rate, it is a dyno dynamics, has steady state, Brian is a great guy, and most of the time he under charges fir the time you are on the dyno.

Dude, z-beater what are you doing here? I thought you were on Nopistons exclusively.

I just blew my NA-T engine, so I am rebuilding. I am going to have to push my estimated tuning date back to may. I really don't think I will make it to/for the rotor fest thing

humm still dont know about me (MR2 Seth W) I've yet to even finish reading the tec3 book let alone getting started on wiring it....I know my brother for sure will be down for getting his FD done.
If we are waiting until April or so at the earliest, I should be done and ready to trailer the 7 across the the state.
But it's pushing it for me because I have to finish the build, break it in, and get any gremlins worked out. We will see, but eventually you will see me over that direction.

I don't want to miss this, so I'm not blowing you guys off on this gig....I just honestly don't know at this current moment if I'll have everything in order to do a tuning session/dyno run, and I don't want to be the guy who says, "Yeah, 100% for sure I'll be there" and then not show up, or pay up when it's time. Kan will tune my car again, I just don't know if it will be this year or next year.
Putting in some major work tomorrow, so that should tell the tale. I'll keep you guys posted on whether or not I will be coming, but I just can't commit to anything at this very moment. I have limited time to work on my car, so lets see how things look after tomorrow as I will know more by then.

How does the weekend of April 18th sound?
If it works for everyone else I will not that is great, and I encourage that you all take it. I will not be able to attend. Sadly it is the only weekend that Steve can do it and the only weekend that I cannot do it.
I don't have an issue going in May though.
April people let me know ASAP

He will tune as many as physically possible. A tune typically takes 1-2hrs. I will spread people out in 2hr intervals. I think that last time he tuned 5 in one day.
This is the last time that I plan on bringing him back. If he comes back someone else will have to coordinate the event. There are a lot of details that are taken care of behind the scenes.

Looks like a lot of us are having issues. Is May and June instead of April and May out of the question? Just asking. My haltech e11v2 is on it's way. 
Also I would like to thank z-beater for even possibly making this ... um possible. I am quite sure a lot of work goes into getting something like this done. I can't even keep my engine running let alone plan a huge dyno/tune event! haha

I will talk with Guanco, but he is the main reason that this started. I would really like to honor his requests. Unless we can get another person in April though we might not be able to do it then.
No problem, I get a reward as well.

Well Aaron has my PPF so as soon as he can find time to reinforce it, hopefully this month, I'll be ready. I'm hoping once he goes back to school after he recovers from his minor surgery that he can get it done within a couple of days time. Then we'll swap out the old one

Cosmo, Thank you. I will call Guanco tomorrow night if he does not see this thread first.
Would people rather see the second session in June? I want to make sure that everyone is ready. Nothing worse than losing a 200 dollar deposit.
