    I will most likely hold an impromptu open house this year, then a massive show/open/BBQ next spring.

    The shop is still in the middle of being put together. So the walls still need to be painted, the floors coated and the monitors/furniture set. It's still a ways away from being 100% open, even if the dyno was in and running. The hopes are that the dyno is operational by this weekend so we can get the customers in, and over the winter setup all the pleasantries and furnishings the way I envision it.

      Wow this is awesome. Im jealous that he gets to be the first MR2 on the dyno, haha. Id imagine it would be looking around high 400's to low 500's for HP on that beast

              We are setting the dyno in the pit tomorrow. If all goes according, we should be dynoing our first car on sunday.

              Today we finished the divider wall, viewing window, drywall, electrical, and cabinetry.

                  I will be taking plenty tomorrow. The garage door guy was here today as well taking his measurements for our new 12x12 door.

                  Actually James, I have some new pictures for you. The IAC is welded to your manifold, and we're almost done putting it back together. Next big thing is addressing more of the wiring.

                          As for pricing, the way it stands currently it is $150/hr for 2wd dyno tuning.

                          We offer rentals by the hour, group discounts, and come winter time there will most likely be seasonal discounts.

                          AWD pricing will vary as some makes/models will get flat rated, while other platforms will be hourly at a slightly increased price.

                          WRX/STI and Evo tunes will be flat rated for the most part with pricing set at $500. That can and WILL vary. You will need to call the shop, make an appointment and we'll discuss the tune on an individual basis.


                          Of course I'll need a phone number first lol. A few weeks and we'll be ready to rock
