Info

Saturday July 30, 2011 9:00AM till Dusk or when the shop kicks us out =)

Show and Shine, Wrenching, Dyno GTG. No large jobs, but they said we can wrench. I will let a guru do work in my dual car port which is 5 minutes away if something special is needed.

If you have an awning, it would be helpful if you brought it. Would be nice to have some shady spots for people who are scared of the sun. I'm assuming it will be hot :cool:

If anyone needs oem vw parts, we've got a parts manager coming. Give Fixmy59bug a pm.

Dyno runs will start at 9:00am and end at 5:00pm (with a lunch break) and we will try to put as many cars down as we can. We will allot for about an hour per car. The limit may be 8 cars. We will adjust the amount of time if allowable. Can also take a slot if you want to take logs for your tuner versus driving at illegal speeds on the freeway. Also, the shop got an optical pickup just for us! Thanks Ian!

Sign up sheet is on second post



Dyno $75 a vehicle
The shop is purchasing a optical pickup just for us! So we will get whp and torque. Their machine is an awd dynojet. Bring your quattro! We will be paying for the full day and all extra money we receive we will donate to TDICLUB.




Anyone that is interested in a dyno must abide by some rules.
  1. We will abide by the rules the dynoshop gives us, it's their business :)
  2. No fluid leaks, we aren't looking to make a mess at someone's shop. A baby drip shouldn't be a problem.
  3. Car doesn't have running issues. Be considerate of other members, by not holding up the dyno day as we figure out why you have a strange thump, or your timing belt just fell off.
  4. Before your run, it is expected that the vehicle is warmed up and ready to go on the dyno.
  5. The limit may be 12 cars. I'm setting the lineup to be 7 cars with 5 alternates, to be realistic. We will adjust the amount of time for each car if allowable or at the discretion of the members. Just looking to be fair.
  6. Can also take a slot if you want to take logs for your tuner versus driving at illegal speeds on the freeway.
BBQ $10 donation
Since it's so close to my place, I will BBQ up some food for everyone and we will take donations. I'd like people to let me know if they want food just to help with making enough for everyone. All money above food cost will be going to TDICLUB. I will provide everything so if you'd like to donate versus bringing plates and cups, thanks!

BBQ Pork Ribs and BBQ Sauce
Harissa Chile Glazed Chicken
Slaw
Rice
Sweet Tea

Bring any "other drinks you may desire"

Tunes
If you are on the list, pm/email/call Mike about the tuning process. He will schedule it and fit in people the way he needs to. I'm sure he'd like to take care of as many of you as possible. Don't assume first come first serve =).

Count me in for a Dyno as well! I should have a new downpipe on by then and just might be wanting a tune (tentative). BBQ is a must. I'll eat the leftovers ;).

What a good plan for a gtg! Interested in seeing some of your guys graphs! Oh, just a heads up, every time I've dyno'd the shop has taken an hour strapping down and fiddling with the optical setup for a stable signal. This would be an area of concern for me. Just trying to help!

Great to hear David. I was hoping to go toe to toe with you!

Thanks Phil, yeah that pickup seems to be a ***** sometimes. Matt had trouble on mine cuz of my evermoving motor mounts. Let's hope we can bust out at the minimum 8! I've adjusted the dyno list to be a bit more realistic.

Should be able to make it, can't say for sure though. I'll know when we get a little closer to the date. If I can show up, I'd definitely be down for some BBQ.

I'd be interested in the Dyno as I'm expecting to get a tune by Mike in early July. Also have one wrenching project to redo the return line from the oil bypass filter to tap into the valve cover.

I'm busy till about 2pm in Riverside that day, but will pop in. Want to get inspired :D Hopefully will have new suspension by that time. Thanks for your hard work in organizing this GTG.

Will let you know about food when time gets a little closer.

Woot! Main dyno spots filled, 5 alternatives to fill. If we get enough interest and people want to come back on sunday just for a dyno, I'll ask them for a second day (but not a gtg).

For wrenching, I want my fuel sender looked at if that isn't too much of a job. I should be able to squeak by and only do a small fill up a few days prior...

Around the 4-6 gallon marks I get frequent fluctuation of my fuel levels left in my tank. I know how to read it though, but it's a quirk I don't wanna have ;)


If I am doing a tune (give me a week or two before I decide), then I'll be filling one of those alternate dyno spots btw...

Come on down Zippy!

Brandon, send VwMikel a pm and see what he can hook you up with.

Bringing the golf and tuning the rabbit?
