NorCal Dyno Day!

A trusty mechanic buddy of mine (from my MR2 turbo days) will be holding a dyno day on August 16th at his shop Aggressive Performance in Santa Clara. Since I've been a long-time customer, and since I told him that folks over on our forum are top-tier gentlemen and women, he extended the invite out to us!

Here is the shop's Yelp page:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/aggressive-p...ce-santa-clara

And here's the shop's website:
http://www.aggressiveperformance.net/

He has DynaPack dynos in both all-wheel drive and two-wheel drive formats. AWD will be priced at $90 for 3 runs + printouts; and 2WD will be priced at $60. Food will be provided, as it's meant to be more of a meet & greet as opposed to just a dyno day. He's a true enthusiast and hosts these events once a year at his own shop and sets it up in such a way as to merely break even with the cost of the dynos (he has to pay helpers to aid in setting up the dyno runs; as well as hire people to man the grills for the BBQ; as well as purchase all the food that will be available for everyone free of charge).

These prices will only be available if you pre-pay. He wants to gauge as early as possible how many cars want to dyno, so please feel free to come out! If you have any questions don't hesitate to let me know

By the way, here are my most recent numbers from his 2WD DynaPack, just to get the ball rolling:

If you are FOR SURE going, please RSVP on the Facebook page to help with total head count:

Alright, gotcha on the list.

Let's try to keep this a 100% for-sure thing. If anything changes, please do let me know by next weekend, August 10th; as I want to give a proper headcount to the shop owner for ease of planning. Thanks for your consideration

Schedule the karting with Gernard, and let me know. It would have to be later at night or something. I plan on going to this dyno day around lunchtime, and staying until evening if need be.

Aw snap! Are you looking to dyno the M5, or just chill/hangout? I'm down to go karting after the dyno day! Closest would be Lemans Racer in Fremont. Not sure if you guys are down for that. Both times I've been to Lemans, I didn't get to actually drive.
The first time I went, they for some God-forsaken reason turned it into a NASCAR oval that day. There was a cutie at the front as our receptionist, but even she wasn't able to convince my friends and I to go on that shitty track
Second time, took my gf spontaneously after dinner on a Friday, but they were booked until 10PM. LAME

Tentative for a Z4MC! Just picked it up from a pretty cool local guy, I'm sure you will recognize the car.

I'll firm up and pay up by this weekend!

I was just notified that there will only be 15 spots total for the whole day. There are currently 10 spots filled! Please pay in advance so you can lock in your spot! I have one locked in, and I could give it away if need be.

I posted the shop's Paypal info in the official list post I made. But here it is again: service@aggressiveperformance.net
Just make sure you put your full name and that you're with me (mfanatic325; Lon from Zpost).

Hopefully there's still a spot left. Worst case, I could give you mine if no-one else needs. I technically don't need to dyno again, as I haven't changed anything on my car since the last dyno I had, which was just a few months ago. I secured my spot because
1) I wanted to help contribute to the shopowner's expenses for holding such a large gathering all out of pocket
2) I figured I could help secure a spot for someone here if need be

Hopefully you got a spot. Otherwise I'm sure the shop owner will refund in full.

I'll ask the shop owner for a finalized dyno list for the day so everyone knows if they're guaranteed or not.
Will report back asap.

edit: here's a preliminary list that I was able to get...
1) 03 Spyder SMT
2) 87 AW11 MK1.5
3) E36 M3
4) Z4 M Coupe
5) 1jz or 2jz powered Cressida
6) 13 WRX
7) 07 Z4 M Coupe
8) 93 SW20 Turbo
9) LS1 powered Cressida
10) MKIV TT Supra
11) 01 Spyder
12) 08 G35
13) 04 WRX STI
14) 03 Spyder
15) 90 911

Looks like some people didn't make it onto the list, so I will be letting my spot go to axp2948.

I've updated the thread with confirmed spots. The dyno registration has officially be closed. There will be 16 cars total, so it will be a busy day for the shop owner.

There will be a sign-up sheet @ the shop starting at 9:30AM, so please plan your day accordingly.

I probably won't be able to get there until around noontime due to plans in the morning, so I will see you guys/gals when I see you

Oh man! Had a crazy weekend and didn't have any chance to sign up. I guess I could just stop by and check out some nice cars.
