Need downpayments from a few people...
Hey guys...
For those of you that met up at the "crazy" no parking Big City Diner meet (my fault, I didn't know it was that busy on Friday nights)...Thank you. It was a fine meeting and it was good to say everyone again.
I know most of you that didn't make the meet pm'd me regarding Pre-Probowl festivities and or family outings, but I really need to collect the downpayment this week to secure you a spot on the tune and so that we can begin finalizing everything.
I need to still collect the downpayment from the following people...
Rally_WRX
Teriyaaaaki
Blitz49
Labmonkey
Igloo
Spinplaya01
Please plan on meeting up with me sometime this week.
Only 1 1/2 months to go before the tune...
Thanks and see you all soon...

^^^someone buy Dave's Race Gas!
Just a thought...
For those that feel their car is not yet ready for a tune...here is what I have seen in the past...
Most people that tune are at Stage2 (Downpipe/Cat-back/intake or drop-in filter). Many will have Cobb Accessports.
Whether you have a 2.0l or 2.5l engine...this is where you will see a "huge" difference from the conservative "stock" tune that our cars come with.
Some Comparisons:
Stock Tune: Fine (since you don't know any difference)
Cobb AP OTS Map: Stg1 and Stg2...better than stock.
PDX OTS Map: Jarrad knows our cars here in Hawaii very well...his OTS maps are considerably better than the Cobb OTS maps.
PDX Tune/Dyno: Jarrad fine tunes your car based on your exact mods...by far, a "Huge" difference from any of the the previous maps above save the PDX OTS maps...but still considerably "personalized".
Most of us OG's that have been around a while have been tuned multiple times by Jarrad...we've gone the Stg2 to Stg4+ route...most though will stay at a Stg2...
This is why I say that if you are at Stg2 and want a change...get tuned.
BTW...The next tune may not happen in 6 months like usual...most of us that tune have our cars where we want them already so it might be a while before the next PDX tune takes place...
We have space now...if you have questions either PM me or give me a call...
Thanks,
Brent

When would the next PDX tune be? I wish I was there for this tune. Added a few goodies after the last tune before I deployed. Should be back in the summer tho sometime for the meats again. Always a good day to pick peoples brains on what else I could do to the wagon. She is just waiting for all the new additions I plan to start ordering a month out of my return. Lookin forward to seein all the numbers.

It is uncertain at this point when Jarrad will return. It will depend on how many people need to have their cars tuned at that time.
We can shoot for another tune possibly around October/November, but I would need commitments in the form of downpayments to ensure the numbers.
For those that cannot make the tune this time but are interested in the next...please pm me. Thanks.
