i said gville cause it is half way from me to Raleigh. If i am overruled i will drive further i suppose.

about the logs, i do have some, but the are not the traditional logs i would use for reading timing, they are more along the lines of just seeing what the car does under certain loads. i can get some logs to share with everyone on this thread though.

also as i stated i should have ECUTEK software by the end of the year. I will not say how or exactly when, but i will have a way to help out or completely tune those in the area by email or in person.

I am a no bullshit type of tuner and believe the best way to get customers is to be truthful and will admit that this type of injection is new to me and i have been hitting the books (literally) trying to learn as much as i can about it, and will continue to do so.

I consider myself an expert tuner with evo's and a moderate tuner when it comes to STI's and am busting my butt between school and work to learn about BRZ/FRS's before i get the software to tune them. I WILL NOT tune anyones before i tune my own, and this is because i would rather learn on mine than someone elses even though i am insured for way over the price of our engine. I was the same way when it came to evo's and sti's and since, have tuned numerous evo's and a fair amount of subies.

As far as John's tune, i by all means respect the man. he is amazing at what he does, point blank period. The only thing i don't like is that he HAS TO play it safe with his tunes just like cobb does with their AP's. He tunes conservatively but has access to a lot of cool features that ECUTEK sends down to him, which i will have access to when i receive the tuning software from my understanding (have never worked with ECUTEK so am only guessing that all "master tuners" receive the same goodies).

I would be happy to share my tuning "portfolio" of all the evos that i have tuned, and when i do start tuning brz/frs's i will offer the first 1-3 for free with paid retunes for when you get new mods. this is my business model with new platforms. And you can ask NotsoJDM, my evo runs like a champ.....on some badass steriods lol.

now for the meet, i am on leave for the next two weeks so lets get something together. one thing we could do is join up with Carolina Super Cars and do their "scavenger hunt" event this month. here is the event description

GET READY FOR ANOTHER EXCITING RALLY!


DATE: Sunday, September 30th
TIME: 3pm
PRICE: $15 for members $25 for non-members
LOCATION: Location will be mailed out at the time of purchase.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
1.Upon payment you will receive a letter in the mail with the starting location. All cars will meet at the same point at the same time.
2.At the starting location you will receive a list of clues. Each one of these clues will direct you to a landmark. Your job is to find the landmarks and take your picture beside each one of them. (YOU WILL NEED A DIGITAL CAMERA OR A SMART PHONE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS RALLY!)
3.After you finish taking your pictures you will meet back at the starting location where you will receive your final clue. This clue will direct you to DESTINATION UNKNOWN.
4.Once you reach DESTINATION UNKNOWN, Carolina Super Cars will review your pictures and enter your name into a box to for the final giveaway TBA.
This event should be a lot of fun! If you have any questions you can email us at carolinasupercars@ymail.com
or for more information visit www.carolinasupercars.com

To reserve your car send a check to: Carolina Super Cars P.O. Box 1244 Bridgeton, NC 28519. $15 Members $25 Non-Members.

btw here is a description of CSC, they consist of a lot of grand sport corvettes, some ZR1 camaros, an actual transformer camaro (it actually transforms into a robot....or has a super charger or something, im not really sure), Porsche's, a ferrari or two, and a bunch of other rich dude cars, and they all are actually super intrigued by the brz lol!

"Do you own a 2 Door All Wheel or Rear Wheel Drive Sports Car? Share the excitement of Sports Car ownership with other people that have the same passion that you do! The goal of Carolina Super Cars is to provide interesting places for automotive enthusiasts to meet, as well as provide organized automotive rally events in the Eastern North Carolina area.
Our club is comprised of automotive professionals and businesses owners with Porsches, high end Corvettes, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Audis, and other sports cars that fit the proper description.
Carolina Super Cars encourages participation the following ways:

Rally Events

Rally Events are described as a starting point and ending point with some interesting destinations throughout. Our Rally Events are not races, they are driving events that allow us to meet at Secret Locations and finish at an agreed point. Road racing is for the track.

Club Meetings

Club Meetings are free and take place every second Sunday of the month at 5pm at Famous Restaurant located on Neuse Boulevard in New Bern. Club Meetings are where the action takes place. Meet other members, get involved in the club, show off your car, and have a great time all at a Carolina Super Cars Club Meeting.

Off Site Events

Off Site Events are events that are not administered by Carolina Super Cars. Sometimes there are events that are being held by other companies and clubs throughout our area. Carolina Super Cars might want to get involved in these events. Whenever we are involved with any event like this we term it as an Off Site Event.

I would prefer a free meet. And Raleigh would be nice. We have a brz in va to come down and I'd imagine he'd prefer Raleigh as well as those of us near Raleigh.

Everyone else please chime in with your choice of location and proposed cruise spot you'd like to go to. Thinking about a lake nearby or something?

Of course you prefer where you live lol. I am at least asking for a half way. But I will drive out if I am the only one not in that area.

Raleigh would be convenient for most people. We could meet at crossroads shopping center in Cary, or somewhere near NC State...just a few suggestions. I honestly don't care where we meet, just excited to meet up.

Cary is far from Raleigh? You on drugs? haha (I'm just going off or Raleigh cuz your sig says so) I'm up for whatever in NC so it doesn't matter. Everywhere is a drive for me so it doesn't matter. I'm used to going out of my way. Just name the place.

I'm the dood from VA lol. You can just @ShoGun me if ya need me. For me Greensboro is about 30-45 mins closer to me (Raleigh/Cary is 1 hr and 45 mins away) but since I don't drive my brz during the week I'm down to come out. I just prefer to have something planned where I can spend a good portion of the day down there. Anyone got a pool?! Or bachelor pad w ps3 or Xbox we can meet at after a cruise?

Yeah Cary is only 20 min from me. I was still in Greenville mindset I guess.

Ate there good driving roads in Greensboro? That's like an hour from me I think. Either is ok. Need some more input from others that plan to attend
