Dyno time, GIAC, installs of pulleys and almsot anything else are fair game for the 21st, just make sure you let Allison (cooper girl) know so she can add you to the list. I don't want people being left out

BTW. Is it going to be too busy to squeeze in some dyno runs on the day? I think it should be fun if we could add it in some how.
Which Intercooler are you getting?

Hey cooper girl, quick question for you. What time do we need to be up there by? Maxicooper and me are thinking about going to the breakfast at Tate @ 9:30 for a little bit and then heading up to Helix. But if we need to be there @ 10 then we will adjust our plans so we can make it there by then. Please let us know. Thanks and thank you for setting this day up!! It should be a blast!! I think everyone needs to thank her if they haven't already.

Don't worry about getting there too early. Take your time, eat breakfast and enjoy the ride up!! A few people from NEMINI requested early times, so Helix will be working on their installs and what not. What time are you thinking of coming?

Well, I was thinking about leaving Tate at around 10:30ish. That should put us up there around 1 pm. I am not definite yet on what we are doing that morning. I might just say screw it and drive up to Helix in the morning and hang out up there. I still need to talk to Maxicooper and find out what he wants to do for sure. But plan on us being there at 1. And whenever they have time to get me on the dyno is alright with me!

Del Ray???

I work right down the street. Well kind of, Old town actually.

I will be going but I don't know what to get.

Not that I "need" anything else at the moment. Let me rephrase that. Not that I could afford anything else at the moment. Looks like it's time to break the piggy bank and see what's in it.

How much room is left on the list?

I'd say if you're planning or on the fence on going to Helix - skip the monthly breakfast and head up to Helix - nothing unique there at Tate - other than maybe some new members. Sounds like we have a lot of DCMM'ers going up to Eric's shop. Hope we get a lot more mod'd members and sounds like Eric is giving some very aggressive pricing.

How does the time slot work? Do we have to reserve one ahead or is it first come first serve? I don't want to get there early morning to find out my install time is late afternoon..

I'll be heading up from VA.. if anyone wants to get there together let me know..

CooperGirl is handling the scheduling for the day. PM her let her know what your concerns are.

A few of us were planning to leave from Tate MINI at about 10:30 am to head up to Helix. You are very welcome to join us. Just check with CooperGirl to make sure that gets you there in time

There are a few people from NEMINI that want to get done first thing..that's why I mentioned earlier (I think) first come. I would say stay on your plan, or come early and hang out. Everything will work out just fine. If you have a certain time you want to get done, pm me and I will make sure it is known and that you get done at that time.

1.5 weeks until the install day. There a still a few slots open. Even if you aren't getting anything installed, you should come by and hang out
