Been speaking with Ray at BHR and Jeff (MazdaManiac) about getting some work done at Ray's in Detroit (about 4 hours from Toronto). When getting Ray to install BHR's awesome new flywheel and clutch combo, I wanted to Jeff to dial in my new Cobb unit with the aid of a Dyno. Jeff said he would go to Ray's in Detroit and Ray could likely get get access to a Dyno if I could round up some Canadian dudes to join me (3 to 5). I'm not sure about date or costs yet, just probing for interest at this point.

I have the Cobb as well looking to dyno dial it in a bit more. Perhaps some coilovers, defiantly Ray's Coil upgrade

I have an AP as well, I wouldn't mind getting Jeff to dial it in for my car. Interested pending cost of course.

Not trying to jack the thread, but I went up to Street Power in Mississauga today, me and the owner got to talking, we're planning on setting up a dyno meet at hsi place in July, dyno runs at less than 40 for two runs. So if this doesnt go through, we have another dyno day

im pretty sure wcs is in for this meet too, when is this again, june 6, 7?

Ray is thinking mid to end of June could but might be able to extend that to as late as mid July (personally sooner is better than later). Currently he's looking into available dyno options in the area. More like slimming the list of the available we are talking Detroit here.

Jay, you talked to Shawn at street Power?

rx8thunder

Agreed, sooner is better. Would like to see it for mid june at the latest. That's 5 weeks from now, should be doable. Earlier we get people signing up for this, the sooner we can finalize the timing.

I contemplated driving down to Arizona to have my car tuned by MM but then I realized the weather is so different that when I got back home the tune would not be accurate.

I dont know about driving to detroit......I dont have the cobb.......But I would definately be interested in a dyno day.

The AccessPORT doesn't care about altitude or weather.
If it works here, it will work there.

I've driven from warm, 1000ft Phoenix to cold, 5000ft northern Utah (passing over the 8000ft mark in the Kaibab Forest) and the PCM figured it out quite nicely.

iTrader: (5)

how far is it from Norcal?

Gecko69

e46 Jay.......e90 is a little out of the price range that I can justify for a car.......plus I like the look of the e46 better.....and price is nice to boot! I can use the extra cash to buy upgrades

Kris

Jay, I know shawn for years, he is the one that use to work on my car when he was at his old place with Sam.

Tell Him Kris, with the white RX8 said whats up, Im Sams friend.

Jay this is the one I'm going to. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...58#post2455158
It's in Chicago, which imo is the best city in North America.

It's about a 8-9 hour drive. I'm likely going to be staying downtown at the Embassy Suites near the ESPN zone.

All odds are that I'll be getting my hotel payed for by work, but I might be able to spend some Hilton Points to get a room for others.
