It will be getting tuned, but I'll be limited with the stock S4 block.

Weak! What're you gonna shoot for? Or you just doing a conservative tune for now?

You guys shouldn't complain. I'm sure my car will be the most ghetto one there. Maybe a contest is in order. I think I will be trying to come down and stay Friday night in the area since I have over 7 hrs to drive. So what time to people intend to start rolling in on Saturday to let this session begin?

And why did I get bumped down the list one spot? If it was the smell, I just bought more deodorant on the way home from work....

I appologize, it was because I added myself to the list. I originally forgot and left myself out

I have a torn convertible top, a f'd up drivers door, and black paint from the previous owner that made my old red rusty TII look nice. There will be no hood, and no (or crappy) fenders. Minimal interior will be present, and what's there isn't pretty. I do have all 4 of my stock wheel center caps though

Keen detective work. I don't like to be "That Guy", but line cutting in my elementary school could have earned you a wedgie, or even worse...

nitronate- Here's what I am dealing with. It's much easier for you to get parts than it is for me.

i dont feel as bad for some of the ghetto stuff on my car..... jk

do we need to specify what tune we are getting before he gets here?
i should be in the 18+ psi with AI but if i cant get that finished i will be getting a pump gas map made. Also will he redo my air temp correction map etc?

"I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car..."

J/K I love all the rotary cars from the 70's, but like you said, parts must be few and far between. From that pic, I'd say you are only 2-3 parts cars away from having that baby on polish I will however concede the battle of the most ghetto ride Steve will be tuning that weekend....

One more thing to everyone: No comments about how my car may one day grow up to look like juice's car

^^^
The increased traction will be negated by the cars now-higher coefficient of drag. I don't see any potential gains here. Fail

Now i am getting off my *** to go work on the car. Maybe I can get some pics of the ghetto ride by tonight

Here's some pics of the dirty-verty. All the parts in pic 3 need to be in the car, not on the garage floor. Obviously I have some work to do. It's mostly labor from here, though I do still need some more plumbing. That, and I can't find my secondary injectors at the moment...

Weather here in November is better than it is in Chicago. Just hope we don't get hit by some freak ice storm like 2 years ago. Thank god I was not here for that.

Oh yeah, you may have noticed the box of Redline oil in the corner of my parts pic. There was an accidental double order of oil for my roommate and myself. If anyone attending the tuning wants to buy some MT-90 for their trans, or Heavy Duty Shock Proof for their dif, let me know ahead of time. I will bring it with. $10 a quart for either oil, unopened bottles. Saves you .50 a quart plus "handling" over the Summit price
