GI: Cobb Dyno Day in GTA
Want to see if we have enough interest to get MazdaManiac (Jeff) up here in Toronto. For those that do not know, Jeff is the leading "custom map maker" for Cobb AccessPort. When he does a tuning session, your car goes on the dyno for 2or 3 runs while he dials it in with a custom map for your car. If you bought the Cobb AccessPort from him , you do not have to pay for his time to tune. However, collectively, all who attend the event need to help pay for Jeff's travel costs and the costs for rental of dyno location.
If you don't have a Cobb, you can just sign up for the Dyno runs
Most we could handle is 10 dyno/tunes and 4 dynos. If we got all 14 slots filled, cost per person would be about $150, give or take.
Location options: discussed on page 2 of thread..
Sept 13th is the date!
Would need to firm up date soon before Jeff's calendar fills up. Interested? Please add your name below and indicate which dates work for you and whether it is for both Cobb + Dyno or just Dyno:
DYNO + TUNE
1. RX8thunder
2. RotorWheee
4. MadaJeff
5. Kafka
6. TurboEight
7. BrianGT
8. RedefineRX8
9. Prospectjtaz
10. qtwre

DYNO ONLY
1. WCS

^ Alex, add your name to the list if you are interested so that we can start getting momentum forward.
My hope is that there are many thinking about getting a Cobb and perhaps this will push them over the edge. GTA is a big market, so I'm optomistic.
Perhaps we could do it at a place that does mods and turn it into a Mod and Dyno day.

I might be interested to drive down for the day. I would have to know the exact weekend well in advance though.
I would be down for a tune, but I have a turbo and an intercepter X.

I will have my car by July and would love to go as well.
Please put me in.
One question tho...these can be unplugged to OEM if needed? I know it can clear codes...but can it put it back to flash X or whatever when there are some warranty work required?
I am not going to make big turbo and all, I just want to know if we can have this covered and no surprises...
Thanks.

I zoom therefore I am.
just an FYI. we started a thread like this for west coast and Jeff came in and said to have one person organize and they should first secure location and price for 8 hours. Check out the thread for his replies in the west coast forum.

Thanks for the "heads up". I will we organize the event. Location will not be an issue. We just need to firm up interest and pick a date. I will take care of the rest. I will open an official thread with all of the details, when the time comes.

Good stuff Alex, I will add you. For the purpose of estimating $150 per person, I assumed Jeff's travel and accomodation costs were $1200, all in. I'm hoping that this is the worste case scenario. We'll do everything possible to kep it as low as possible.

FYI, MM tuned WCS's Cobb in Chicago a couple of weeks ago and this is how he responded to my question about whether the Cobb tune made a real difference...
"oh yeah... responsive and power all the way through the range... I would even hazard to say that I can feel more low end power..... but above 4.5k rpm it's quite noticable"
