Ok, time for a seperate thread on this one.

I have been talking with Brad @ RPM Engineering in Rohnert Park (http://www.dynotuning.com) about a possible DYNO DAY event at their facility. They are a little more $$ than some of the south bay Dyno locations, but it could still be a good event if we have enough people interested.

Here is the scoop:

if we can get 10 or more cars, the rates are as follows -

$75 per car = 3 pulls on the dyno + Graphing including A/F Ratio.

This event would also include Breakfast (Coffee & Bagels/Donuts) in the mornig, and Lunch in the afternoon. Aditional spectators are $5.00 each for the food.

I know I'd be interested ... since I am the one wanting to set this up ... but would anyone else be interested? Please post your thoughts here!

 

I've heard of an extra charge to tune a VAFC? Can you confirm?

 

Count me in, pending number of people (price reason).

 

I asked Brad at RPM about this, and he said that they usually don't do any extra tuning on group days, because then some people wouldn't get their cars done ... but I'm sure something can be worked out if we get just the min ammount of people...

 

Count me in!

Where the hell is Rohnert Park anyway?

 

North of San Francisco, about 40 mins. Just hop on the 101N all the way up

 

I'm in but you already knew that I assume we're talking a Saturday here.

This isn't limited to Z owners is it? Might help to get more people.

 

is it anywhere near napa? The outlets specifically?

 

Good looking out Dave, but Napa is a different direction from RP. Perhaps you could drop off your girl at the Petaluma outlets (before RP) while you dyno... and maybe I'll do the same.

 

I am in. I was going to go there anyway, now it will save me a bunch of money.

 

Is that a reasonable price? How much are most places if just by yourself? Seems like Z's like 4-6 pulls to get the most out of it.

 

Its an average price. This place in particular charges $90 to just do one car. I think three pulls will get people enough good information to start with. Plus, with a group, its a good little mini-meet.

Definatly not limited to Z's ... these guys don't really care what kind of cars they are, as long as they are 2 wheel drive (front or rear), as they do not have their AWD dyno as of yet. If you guys have any friends that would be interested, that would make it even better! Between 10-15 cars would be ideal, and make a day of it.

Saturday would be a good day. Once we have approx enough people, we can start talking about a day, and make sure its open on RPM's schedule.

Glad to see that there is some peaking interest! We could make this a really fun meet!

 

Oh, while I'm thinking about it ... what days would work out for everyone? Bill has suggested a Saturday ... which would be good... but when? Should we look into sometime in April? Maybe Mid April to give people time to plan?

 

Saturdays are usually good for me and mid April sounds good.

 

How about April 10 or 17

 

Ok, I am gonna make a list, in the first post in this thread, of people that said that they were "IN" ... please post here or PM me if you want to commit to either April 10th or 17th. Before I book the place, we need to make sure to get 10 comitted cars ... and I know that its hard without a date set in stone ... but I don't want to be stuck paying for 10 cars $ 75 , if people don't show up heheh

*EDIT: OK, so I can't add to the original post. Here is the list so far:

1.) neur0sis
2.) zwindsor
3.) fowlman01
4.) 2004z
5.) yobri (pending we get enough ppl)

Anyone else wanna commit? Anyone with cars/friends other than Z's are welcome too... get your friends to come along!

 

I wish I could commit to this, but I am very unsure of my schedule in the next month.......very tempting though.

 

Don't count me in the 10 but I'm down if I can make it. Just tough to fully committ as I have a newborn at home and my schedule is pretty unpredictable

 

Bring him/her along. Let the wife go shopping at the Outlet Mall with the other women

 

*bump* ... we need some more people!
