So my car may be sold before the tune date, should I give the new owner the date and deposit or should I get the money back and tell him to make a new post when he has transferred the title?

This is really up to you, how you want to handle it. You do have a confirm slot and paid deposit, so I would just tell the new owner about the tuning schedule and suggest they have the car properly tune to fully enjoy it.

hi guys - given that we've reach 5 cars, we are still accepting more cars if anyone else would like to tune.

The date is set for Nov 12 - 13, so that's plenty of time to get your car ready. So add your name on the list and send in deposit - 3blade@gmail.com

the tuner ask me to pass this on to those who will be joining us in Nov. Also make sure your car is in tip - top shape, as this is strictly for tuning, not to diagnose and fix gremlins you've been chasing.

---


1. Bring cash to pay your remaining balance to tuner and dyno shop.

2. Stock turbos - get a second O/2 bung added to your downpipe and make it easily accessible.

3. Single turbos - Remove your O/2 sensor to make sure it's not seized on there.

4. Change your plugs 1 day prior to tuning, and bring extra plugs just in case of fouling.

5. Get an oil change to have fresh fluids

I hope Steve can fit SHPNOUT in. I've been dying to see his car back out on track killing V8s, spitting fire and making noize!

Here's the list of modifications to my FD that Steve will need when deciding the approach to my tune:

Hi guys, I'm going to start scheduling things, so far we have 8 cars to tune, with that I'm going to spread them out with 2 cars for the the AM start, and another 2 cars after lunch.

Could you guys PM me with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices of prefer day and time. Example:

Sat / AM or Sat / PM

Sun / Am or Sun / PM

Chris More's preference

I would prefer the AM on either day works. Put me down for either day or if one day makes it easier to balance all the available slots. thanks!

update: - just got word from the dyno shop that they'll need to close early on Sat, so we can only do 3 cars that day, then the rest on Sunday. Steve is staying until Monday, so we'll have plenty of time.


I'll get you guys a tentative schedule this weekend.
