Will you go to Tate first. I'm going to be @ Tate around 9.30am.
I'll pick up some Panera's in Columbia first around 8.30am, we can meet there and cruise together to Tate.
We will leave Tate around 11am.

For the 21st, we are going to be doing installs and dyno runs on a first come, first serve basis.

I just wanted to give you guys (and girls) a heads up, I am not going to make it up to Helix to get the car dynoed. Maybe next time I will make it up there. CooperGirl, I sent you a pm.

Helix pulley install day

Are all of the slots filled for installs today? I live in South Philly and just saw the post.
I will probably stop up and hang out...if any times are open yet, I would love to get a 15% pulley installed.

Come on by. Our shop is a whopping 10 minutes from South Philly, so come on by, hang out and relax. If we have enough pulleys and time to finish all of the confirmed installs/dyno runs, I don't see a problem with it.

How many installs do you have booked for the pulleys? Would it be better to stop by in the early afternoon?

Many thanks to Alli for coordinating. Also to Eric, Ricky, Ralphie, Mikey, and Alex(y) for keeping me entertained while I waited for you all to (finally!!!) set me up!

Seriously, the drive back to DC was AWESOME!!! The pulley job and CAI made a noticeable difference, and I must admit that I had to restrain myself from *jumping* on the accelerator on the way back.

Thanks, guys. I suspect I'll be visiting you again!!! (BTW, I'm up in Philly for about 4 days in late June/early July--any suggestions?)

Glad everyone had a good time and is enjoying their installs.
Ryan if you're already looking at the next mod, look into the rear sway bar. A great basic mod to make driving even more fun

Seems like you guys've had a great time. I wish I could make it up there.
I'm looking forward for the next time, may be, it will be time for new R56 trailing arms.
