New dates posted for the second round:
Part One - Tuesday, June 16h 6:00pm PDT (9:00pm EDT)
Part Two - Tuesday, June 23rd 6:00pm PDT (9:00pm EDT)
Part Three A - Tuesday, June 30th 6:00pm PDT (9:00pm EDT)
Part Three B - Tuesday, July 7th 6:00pm PDT (9:00pm EDT)

There was so much to go over in the last session, that I've split into two (without increasing the cost).
I think all the sessions actually went over by quite a bit - part three was nearly (or more than, I don't remember) 3 hours.

If you are interested in participating, go to the first thread and follow the links.

Thanks to everyone that participated in the first round. There will be a test that is worth 1/3 of your grade - closed-book!

 

Just signed up for the new dates.
Can't wait!

 

Bump
Oooo this threads been quite....
MM did I send my payment in time to get a seat?

 

Of course!
You will receive an e-mail the day of the first session with a link to the seminar page.
It becomes active about 30 minutes before we start so that you can get your workspace adjusted (sound, screen resolution, etc.).

 

there's no option for just part 2.

 

^^^alright!!!!!!

 

Uh, no. Why would I do that (or, more importantly, why would you want that)?
You can take just part 1 by itself, but its just an intro for folks that are only looking to maximize their Calibration Service experience by getting an understanding of the basics of the software.

 

well, i want to see 2 and 3, but not 1. price is the same for those 2 as for all 3?

 

Of course.
I throw in part 1 when you take the full seminar.
You are kinda thinking of this backwards.
Why would I give you a discount for wanting to drop the introductory part?

If you feel you are past the first part, just skip it and show up for part 2.

 

as usual, i understand your reasoning but still feel slighted. lol.

 

Really? wow.

You feel slighted because I won't give you something for nothing? Typical.

 

Just sign up. Quite actively looking for faults. Parts 2 and 3 are more than worth the money. Hell, I think I have already forgot more than half of what MM taught. (or it flowed right out my other ear.)

You realize that knowledge gradients dictate the direction towards which the flow of said knowledge flows, right? Otherwize teh wouldn't exist. You want it? Pay for it. It has value beyond the monetary...if you know what to do with it.

Jebuzz...




Is there a part 3b tonight?

 

Yes. E-mail will go out shortly.

 

reason and emotion are not connected. i can feel one way even though i know i shouldn't.

i was only kidding anyway.

 

That's cool. I was just picking on you because you had the guts to say what plenty of people seem to think, but only put out there in some "justified" manner.

 

What the **** does that mean?


And where is my ******* turbo.


And why dont you just tell us all what we want to know, when we want to know it, for free, right now, dammit.

And what are all the interactions with the baro sensor with the pcm. What is sealevel pressure in the ATR when you are in standard units? (I actually cant restructure your explaination from my notes.)

Why lock all your maps when I want to go look in them and see what you did. Your are interrupting my persuit of happiness. Just start unlocking them or tell us how to hack them. Now. Yesterday.

Why dont you answer all my emails; immediately? I mean, dont you have a blackberry? Just start typing when you hear the "bing." With dence verbiage. And will all your secrets.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE ***** TO CHARGE ME AS MUCH AS I PAY FOR COFFEE EVERY MONTH FOR A FULL DAY OF A WEBINAR THAT I DONT INTEND TO ATTEND? EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER TWO DAYS ARE EASILY WORTH THE COST?

**** you and your willingness to do work I am not willing or capable of doing.

 

heh. i felt the love.

 

I lol'ed mightily. Thanks for that.

 

So lets say I'm a complete noob when it comes to engine management programming and yet I have an AccessPORT. If I wanted to take your webinar would there be any reading you would recommend before particpating so I'm not completely and utterly lost the whole time? Also, will taking this webinar give me the basic tools I need to create a base tune from scratch for a turbo'd 8 and maybe a little idea of how to optimize the tune from logged data? Please, dont verbally (in writing whatever) kill me, I just dont want to sign up and waste my money because I dont have enough knowledge to know what you're saying or what questions to ask.

 

Hey! got cut off on that last story about the 500hp STI!! I didn't get the end of the story. I guess we ran out of time from the server.



I hardly think that this needs seminar series needs a review, but I will state a few points.

MM is an excellent and generous speaker. I have taught many classes and understand what it feels like after 2 or 3 hours of trying to get very complicated concepts across to folks. You just want to run, but MM continued and even came back for a supplementary session.

The Webinar session audio is very good (not excellent) with rare dropouts, no distortion and reasonable latency. The video display of the ATR maps was very good on a larger monitor and only a little squished on a small laptop. Two monitors is nice so as to take notes. The seminars started on time.

If you have the ATR software, take a look at it real quick. See all those tables. How many are there? 40? 50? MM covered EVERY ONE! Every one with detail. There are LOTS of details. If you dont have an aptitude for absorbing and using information correctly, maybe this is not for you. Otherwise, I can't overstate how information-rich this series was.

There are lots of current questions running around the forums. SOme of them rather sticky wickets. What to know what is going on? Sign up. Ask.

In summary, the web software was more than adequate, the speaker was clear and easy to listen to and can only be faulted as underestimating the time necessary for the presentation. A clear outline of exactly what is to be covered, and sticking rigorously to it, might have been beneficial, but also might have removed the fun spontaneity of the seminars. The volume of information was incredible but was as advertized. All tables of the ATR software were covered in detail. All in all, worth the price of admission. I will be looking for any advanced seminars that might come up.

 

Yeah. Sorry about that. I got a notification, but since the desktop was minimized while the software was open, I didn't see it until we go cut off.

The result of that STi thing was it only ran 3 seconds faster, even though it was putting down 25% more power and was on slicks. Power isn't everything.



Thanks for the kind and generous review. I hope you took away with you everything you had hoped.

Next seminar is in less than two weeks.

 

Sounds like it's going good. Hope I can get some basic info on this tuning stuff next week.

 

5 slots left.

With all the speculation and second-guessing out there with regards to the MAF, dwell adjustments and injector scaling, I might suggest that a few days spent with your tuning brethren online is time well spent.

I'm just sayin'!

 

Well, I had two people back out, so I'm going to postpone this and refund everyone that signed up.
It just isn't worth doing with such low turnout.

If you signed up, I'll process your refund tonight.
If you are interested, I will announce new dates in a week or two, pending interest.

 

Depending on the dates and what my work schedule looks like I am very interested. I'm looking forward to seeing the posted dates.
