So far, I have 3 deposits for the May 31st tuning session. If I don't get enough to make the trip, I will have to cancel it. If you are schedule for May 31st, Make sure to notify me soon. I will wait until thursday to give a final decision. If this doesn't happen, I'll shred the deposit checks (deposit only apply when I book my flight) or I can hold on for the July tuning session.

Here's a list of people I received the deposit

Dave, or should I call you Mike, you can take me off the "undecided" list for sure. It's not gonna happen this summer.

For those in the May session, what do you think about using Jet City tuning for the dyno. They are located in Puyallup. Since they helped us out so much at ABF it might be nice to show a little support.

They run a dyno dynamics.

Let me know by tonight so that I can book it tonight.

I'm tentatively backing out of the May tuning session. I'm selling an RX-7 that *should* be sold already... Without it gone, I don't have the cash to put my (big) turbo RX-7 together. Sucks and unplanned. Sorry May guys. Thursday now is my deadline to sell the car and make the dyno-day deposit. If it doesn't sell in two days, then no May dyno for me. Sorry to Steve as well.

PAY YOUR DEPOSITS

If you have not paid the deposit let me know. I know that Cosmo sent his in. Who are the others?

No problem Erik. Best wishes with getting the car sold.


Driftkid, I would say that 1000 easy miles should do the trick. I did it with around 700 last time. Stay out of boost and be easy on the motor. I will ask Woundup7 what he did. I believe that he ran a base map PFC w/ T2 motor. Just be easy on the motor and you should be fine.

I am booking the dyno tonight. So speak now or forever hold your peace. I have yet to recieve any feedback.

Alright guys, I still have 3 deposits so far. What do you guys want to do? Today is the last day I can book my flight before the price goes up. Need to get a decision from you guys today.

Steve,

If you can wait until the mail is delivered today, that would great. If it's already been delivered, the May tuning session will have to be canceled.

wow, this is not cool. I am really starting to get nervous. People better get their sh*it figured out for Julyl 26th, that's all I'm saying. I understand random car problems, but it really shouldn't be THIS hard to get everything inline.

P.S. z-beater, I have one of granico's cars, so I only think he needs his name up once on the list. (unless he had 3 7s he was going to get turned??) haha

I migth be jumping ahead, but when is the deposits due for the July 26th session?

Thanks

IF YOU HAVE A DEPOSIT IN THE MAIL PLEASE TELL ME.

I have tried to contact everyone at least twice on this list. Most people responded saying that they would send it in. If you have not and do not intend on sending one in please PM me so I can remove your name from the list.

Yes, if people can't get their stuff figured out Steve has all right to cancel the tune session. Steve, do what you need to do. You have all rights to cancel IMO.

Deposits will be due one month in advance. This gives Steve time to book his flight and clear his schedule. You are more than welcome to send it before 1 month. I believe that Cosmo sent his in a couple months in advance.

Tweak, Guanco had 3 cars. 1 was sold to you! He only has 2 now.

Oh, ok. What a lucky guy! I REALLY hope you guys get to do your dyno, but I agree, if people arn't sending in their deposits, I don't think Steve should be taking any sort of hit for that. Figure it out people, at least let the group know if you don't have the money or are not able to do the tune for what ever reason so people can plan or make adjustments. On a side note, I think everyone in the July 26th tune need to send their phone numbers and emails to z-beater so we can keep get ahold of people if we need to.

I just popped over from the 8 forum, and found this might all fall apart now...

I was thinking of hooking up for a Cobb AP NA tune, but maybe that will have to wait.

Bummer

I would not count on guanco for the tune, he seems really busy, and I think it's up to his friend if he wants to tune the car or not.

I think that maybe if we advertise on rx8 club or elsewhere maybe you can find a replacement?

Steve you are the man! I am sorry that it's so hard for us to get everything organized. This will not happen for our July tune, I can guarantee it.

Well, my FD is almost ready so you can add me as a possible replacement. However, before I commit I need to talk to Steve about the tune.

Rick,

I think that it has been 3 years since I've seen you. Hope you are doing well.

Would you like me to add you to the May list? You can PM Steve, or if the question is a little more basic run it by me.
