Flying up MazdaManiac to Seattle for an AP dyno tuning weekend
Hello,
The dyno tuning session weekend with MazdaManiac in Seattle is on! We will be having the session on 1/17/09 starting at 10:00am. Please plan on showing up at ~9:30-9:45 so we can get started right at 10:00am.
I've found a local shop with a dyno and Jeff Abrams(www.Mazdamaniac.com) is coming to dyno tune anyone's RX8 with any EMS they have.
Here are the details:
Date: 1/17/09
Dyno location: Kito Autosport: http://www.kitoautosport.com/info.html
Cost: $800/day for dyno time (8hrs) + $50 for Jeff to tune Mazdamaniac AP customers. Jeff will also tune other EMS' for $150. This includes a multi pull dyno tune plus a street tuning session.
+cost to fly Jeff up $220.00 (confirmed)
The dyno costs and Jeff's flight will be split equally among the group. So a full day of 8 people minimizes the per person cost.
Jeff will have a couple extra APs at the event for $695 each or you can purchase them ahead of time from his website and he will bring them up with him.
I'll am requesting $50 deposits from people to reserve a slot. These will be refundable if you cancel more than 1 week in advance of the day.
Kristopher_d has agreed to set up deposit taking on his winding road website and will hold deposits for us.

If there is enough interest I will open a waiting list for people to step in to slots if people back out or don't provide deposits.
FAQ:
What if I don't have an Engine Management System I can tune? -Jeff will bring up Access Ports with him for sale if you let him know ahead of time that you would like to buy one. His website price is $695 for an Accessport (AP). Since he's flying up he'll probably not charge shipping.

So how much is it total?
Assuming 8 people split the group costs for the dyno time and Jeff's flight: ($220+$800=$1020) or $127.50 per person +Jeff's tuning fee
If there are less people this cost will be split equally by the number of people.
If you don't have an EMS:
For the total package it will be $27.50+$100+$50+$695=$872.50
If you already have a MM AP:
$27.50+$100+$50=$177.50
If you have a different EMS or an AP bought from someone else:
$27.50+$100+$150=$277.50
What does the Cobb Acessport(AP) do?

Nothing definite at this time. Kris has mentioned setting up a drive or if there is follow up street tuning needed Jeff could schedule it.

I'm sure Jeff can bring up a few APs to purchase and tune on the spot. I'll let him respond on whether or not he needs a deposit to bring them up or not.

So total cost is going to be $800/# of cars + $200/# of cars + $50 for Jeff?
I wasn't planning on buying an AP til closer to March, but I might be willing to push things up some. I need to figure out how much my whole trip home for Christmas is going to cost me (airfare was already $700, so I need to set a budget for while I'm back there + presents) but I'm definitely interested. I'll definitely stop by to hang out though, I'll update when I figure things out!
