I suppose it'd be interesting to know exactly what I'm pulling right now, but it's not like I have any mods that will improve my dyno numbers, so I'm more down for setting a date for a Sunday BBQ then a dyno day...

What would it cost? If it's 20-40 bucks I'm in.

Yeah.. new page!

A price was never laid out yet right? I'll jump in if it's not going to cost too much. And if they do tune my car with their AP and change my maps. Thats what they are doing, right Matt? It's not that we need to buy an AP just for them?

price hasnt been sorted out yet. if you want to get your car tuned you need to by an AP. it has a one car at a time limit on it.

I'm up for dynoing the S2000. There's electrical problems with my Rx-8 so there's no point in dynoing this thing--at least there was some problems the last time we tried to dyno.

If we get a BHR MM dyno day it will be one of a few things:

1. If you buy a AP then you'll have Jeff there to tune it for your car
2. If you buy parts from BHR then you'll have Ray there to help install
3. If you just want to dyno your car you'll have that
4. There will be food and drinks
5. Between Ray and Jeff you have some of the best knowledge about RX8's in front of you. We also have a chance to show them how much they've helped the community in general.


The AP can only tune 1 car. You have to uninstall the AP maps from a car before you can wipe the AP and install it on another car.. so no "buy 1 AP for 10 cars" going on.

3. Yes Matt, my jeep is up for sale, lol. Thanks for stalking me on the other forum

4. Zach, you think your this big tough **** who can talk down to me, well dude,
simmer down, stop being pissed at everyone and man up. You dont run anyones life but your own so stop thinking its ok to put people down. **** you sir.

5. I dont care about money, well wait, yes i do , But what has dick or any of you other guys ever done for me? Hmmm, i would say nothing. And if your gonna say, wtf to that, well since day one, no one has ever asked me to do anything for them so the favors and respect were never really there. Enough about that.

6. I have plenty of friends dude, dont think im some rich little loser kid. You dont know me outside of the rx8 clan. Hell, you dont know me at all!

7. I didnt want to drive dicks car down there cuz half the **** on there ill probably get pulled over for from the southern hwy patrol and cuz i have better things to do. but the favor was asked, i gave my terms cuz this is one HUGE ******* FAVOR to be asked. But no, it fell through, not my fault. I will do what I want to do. And if you guys want to give me **** or think im selfish, then so be it. Im not going to go above and beyond the call of duty for someone who i dont really know all that well.

8. I was supposed to do this alone? If i had someone to go with me i wouldnt have bitched. gas would have been alot cheaper and i still would have payed for my flight home, thus saving dick lots of money.

9. **** it, lol. this whole thing has gotten out of control and i dont care anymore. Its lame if you ask me. You guys targeted me, probably cuz i dont drive an 8 anymore, lol. Lame, really lame guys. Nice one

10. I thought adam was cool as ****. I dont see why you guys have to go after and target everyone who might not share the same interests as you guys. "oh yeah, we drive rx8's, we are sooo cool, we are better than you" Real mature guys, real mature. Half you guys make up **** all the time just to try to be better than one another, lol.

Peace out everyone, im done here
I'm not on anyones side here but please Tom don't make generalizations that people in this club are pretentious. It's not nice. I don't know the whole story, but it was strange how everyone started to attack you. Anyway, I think that your offer to help was a big fat favor. I shipped a crappy 2500 lbs MR2 from Santa Clara to ABQ, NM four years ago and it costs me $1600, so I couldn't imagine how much it will cost now, especially with the gas prices. What I do not understand is why the military cannot ship the car from a port close to here. DJ, any input on this? There's lots of cargo missions leaving Travis AFB all the time...i.e 807 mission (if that's still going around the world daily).

uuuuh yeah. Can't justify 700 bucks on an AP right now. Not with new tires coming up and no plans to put serious power mods on the car. It's way cheaper to buy a case of 5w30 and the fan thermostat mod for my needs.

I am curious to see how many HP I've got under the hood though, so I'd be down just to get that done.

I have the same problem like rob does. Im not sure if its the shop that we went to or the car it self. Im down to try another dyno if it helps the list grow.

The whole thing about tom is first Zach, Matt and I did most of the leg work just to get the car from SM to SJ. Matt has been dealing with insurance and the shops. Tom came out of nowhwere and seemed as if he wanted to just take control or credit or whatever. And when he realized what he was getting into then he asked for help. He didnt really work with anyone who was already working on Dick's car. If he worked with us and asked questions from the beginning there would be no problem. He reffered to himself as a ***** jew whatever, we just agreed. So, lets leave it at that, he doesnt want to be a part of this group, he never really tried to be a part, and when he tried he thought mostly of himself. So lets all move on. Tom, i know you'll still be popping in and around, youre a cool guy, but you just dont treat anyone the way you want to be treated. Like i said before, see how it looks on our side and dont go telling people you want to punch my face in, cause im just saying it the way i see it.

Is that the new, "improved" rear brake light laythor?

Doesn't look as bad as it did in the other thread, but I think I'll keep my rear accent instead.

The only reason for me to stop by the meet tonight is to drop leo's mutimeter off, so if I don't hear from him here, I won't be going either. Don't want to leave my girlfriend waiting for me at home when we could be making the beast with two backs.

I met up with the MOCC group, bunch of guys with MSP3's proto 5's and what not. Awesome group, they meet bi-weekly where we usually meet. They are going to D&B either the 27th or 28th if you guys are down to mold the meet with them.

I joined the MOCC forum as well, www.moccforums.com. A lot more local, the guys are cool and down the earth, not alot of kids.
