Sorry I couldn't put on a show for you guys. Got it put together at 3am went to put the fluids in and had a coolant leak, got that welded up. Then Blew the alternator fuse. took me a while to figure out that my alternator wires were touching my dump tube. Ran to Napa to get a shorter alternator belt which ended up being to short. At that point I was running 45minutes late leaving for work.

But plans are to dyno Monday night after I get off work. I'd be up there sometime around 11:30pm.

Thanks to everyone who came out today. It was a perfect day to hold the event. Great weather and we ended the day with a total of 16 cars on the dyno if you include the EVO MR from LSE. The Pull Off was another fun additive as well once again. We got lots of pics and video which I'll have my pics up sometime Sunday for everyone.

It was a great way to close out the nice weather season.

I'll post a full recap of everything that went down as well tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for putting it on!!

. The only issue I have is that the dyno and the street load are the same, the dyno just allows you to moniter everthing. I've had cars that run perfect on the street break up on the dyno because you can actually tell its messing up. What threw your car off could have been an octane change, a boost leak, a aem map issue, who knows..glad I could help make it a better pull and get the numbers up a bit closer to what you were expecting.

Thanks to everyone that came out. Congrats to trophy and door prize winners! The weather was perfect it went fairly smoothly. Thanks to the dsmstyle crew for helping to keep things organized, help with setup, cooking, etc...its all greatly appreciated and makes our day easier.
I got in a bit of trouble for leaving so late, but thats business. I am glad I could help out the people I did on the rollers! (I think 3?)
Now start modding those cars people so we can have some serious improvements for the spring.
Also, anyone that was at the dyno day and needs tuning, I'll offer you 15% off your tuning bill if you schedule it within the next few weeks. PM me for more information.

Thanks again everyone!

Swifty1638 · 10-01-2006

Yea swanny, from the looks of a few of the cars there, i'd say they need tuning.

HKSenilyks · 10-01-2006

Everyone needs tuning.

Swifty1638 · 10-01-2006

not myself. there are those already tuned. But, wait till spring. I'm sure I'll need more dyno time.

It sucks that i always miss these things. Sounded like a good time though.

Swifty1638 · 10-01-2006

yea brandon. btw, I still want that valve cover. I don't think i'm going to take the red off mine and polish it again. So, still trade?

**Halon** · 10-01-2006

Ya no problem. Anytime after I get back from Spain, which is scheduled to be Oct 23, but it's always give or take a few days.

Swifty1638 · 10-01-2006

works for me! just hit me up man!

Tauni · 10-01-2006

Awhh, looks like ya'll had a good time! Wish I could have been there!

turbotalon1g · 10-01-2006

Well of course in classic DSM fashion, i got my car running last night after the event. Still a few little issues, but at least it is drivable again. I missed it so much.
My car feels good, but after running around with swifty and Josh it doesn't feel that quick.
I hope to make the next event as there aren't to many mods left to do on my car, more just cleaning stuff up.

Matt D. · 10-01-2006

Glad everyone had a good time, was a great day for the event.

Hopefully no one is suffering from a food-borne illness today.
