WORKS Looking For A Test Car For Intake R&D
 
Hello folks!

WORKS is developing an intake system and we are looking for a car to test fit and dyno.

Need the car this wednesday for a whole day.

If you need a car, a loaner will be provided.

We prefer someone who will be going to the 86fest so that you can showcase the brand new intake system

Test car needs to have a stock intake to be considered.

In return, you will get the intake system 50% off (if you decide to keep it) and free dyno baselines.

Your car will also be considered for future parts development for N/A

ok are you willing to showcase the new intake instead of you current AEM at 86fest?

note: the design keeps the stock air box

NorCalGirl 08-06-2013 01:24 AM

Sure I can!

Sounds like a great deal. How much will the intake be? Too bad I can't make it to 86fest.

most aftermarket intakes go for more than $300.

this should be less than that :)

doesn't the WORKS drop in air filter already claim to make +10 HP? how much more can we really expect from an intake?

ahhhh that is super tempting to do!!!! I have a totally stock car and am going to 86fest but didnt pay to show my car.......

NorCalGirl 08-14-2013 11:28 AM

Hey JR @86_ZN6! So I'm not sure if you saw, but I won the innovate supercharger raffle at 86fest and I think I'm going to go ahead with it, so I'm going to have to pass on the works intake... Sorry!!! But thank you for the opportunity!! It looks like @Sypher would hopefully want to take my place to help you guys out??

dun3 08-14-2013 02:39 PM

NorCalGirl 08-14-2013 02:42 PM

@NorCalGirl Gratz on the award and winning the raffle! I was really hopping to win the HRE wheels but no such luck for me =P. It looked like you were getting the drifting/figure 8's down pretty good Saturday. I tried a couple times. Found out i'm better at killing cones than doing figure 8's :bonk:

@86_ZN6 It was cool meeting you sunday. let me know if you need a car still to test and when you'll need it. I'll just have to make time get out to you.

Thanks! It was my 3rd DDA so it felt like I was getting the hang of it better each time.. Sorry I can't remember was it your first DDA or first time trying this kinda stuff?? It gets easier especially with the instructors who are amazing at pin pointing what you need to tweak in terms of technique.. Just keep practicing as will I! Thanks again!

Sypher 08-14-2013 03:52 PM

that was my first DDA. I spent most of my time on the autox track trying to get times close to people with better tires. also I didnt want to waste my only set of tires before driving back home =P

Did WORKS end up getting everything they need? I might be a little late lol

I have been to a couple meets, the first one where I met you there lol was back in Livermore (won the raffle for the WORKS high performance filter) then a few small ones after that went on vacation for awhile and I'm back and trying to get back to all the meets. I have been to 2 autoX and the next one I do want to get on the track, just observed the last two. Live in San Leandro, Drive a Firestorm FT86 or FRS lol I'm saving up for the Rocketbunny kit or the HKS supercharger.

Sypher 08-18-2013 04:35 AM

I haven't been to any meets yet. I think I've had my car for roughly 5 weeks now. (Just got my plates last week and made my first payment :/) I meet you down at 86fest. So far in the 5 weeks I've had the car I've been to one autox and 86fest. Though I will be driving in the stockton autox in the morning hopefully meeting a few more people. I plan to make as many meets as I can. Only tough part is living outside of the bay.

My plan for the car is to have daily driver/weekend worrier. I really want to make it to a track day but I think I'll wait until I have better tires and break pads.
