btw, just to answer a couple more questions.

This is only a RWD dyno so AWD cars are not welcome.. he he.

He can dyno a total of 25-28 cars a day, he says he doesn't mind staying late so I guess we can extend the list to 25 cars. but thats it.

if you look at their website, they normally charge 75 dollars for a baseline dyno run. I would assume that includes three pulls. So, 50 bucks is a slight discount.

XdeedubbX and I chatted last night and here's an update for everyone:

- In order for us not to be there all day and night, we are limiting the list to 20 RX-8's. (note: this is a rotary only event, please)

- If the last 5 spots fill up, people can still add their names to the list but they are not guaranteed a chance to get their car on the dyno. Also, if you're after #20 please PM me some contact info. If someone drops off the list, I'll let you know and we'll get you 'scheduled' for the 31st

-Speaking of scheduling: I'll be working a spread sheet that will list everyone's car and approximately what time they'll be getting on the dyno. The sheet will also list everyone's dyno #'s for the whole world to see! (haha, just kidding) The purpose of tracking the #'s is NOT for bragging rights, but rather for getting an idea of where we all stand relative to similarly modded 8's.

- Last but not least: make sure your cars are ready for this event. Have your oil topped off and check those ignition coils. I've been reading a LOT of threads recently about bad plugs and that could hurt your numbers pretty bad.

-This is shaping up to be a lot of fun.

ignition coils is a fancy shmacy term for: spark plug wires. Check them to make sure the heat hasn't damaged them. I'm not sure why, but I've seen a few threads lately talking about people having issues with them.

actually the spark plug wires are connected to the coils. When taken out (if bad) there will be a small burn mark on the middle about the size of a skittle..haha. If you see that, then they're bad.
