I'll comtinue to update the list on page two that is above. Mike is in at 2:00!

I need Dave E. to shoot me his contact info in an e-mail and make sure that 11:00 is OK on Saturday. Otherwise, the spot stays open.

I now have two Canadians at least coming from Toronto. Cool, eh?

Looking forward to it!

Randy

Hey Rye & Randy,

I'll make the trip too. ...Not sure what I want to get done yet, but count me in. Is the new EVOtech going to be ready by then?

Tks
Mike

Mike, would you happen to be the "Mike M." that left a message on Randy's voicemail?

Anyway, not sure about the "new EVOtech" I only know of the Powerchips ECU that is currently Randy's top-shelf ECU upgrade program. In any case, whatever's the best and most tested will be at the Pulley Party for uploading.

Take a look at the above time chart, and let us know what looks good for you :smile:

Cheers,
Ryan

Stay tuned!

minimc; hopefully Randy will be able to fit your header and suspension stuff into the mix - although it may be after the normal pulley party schedule. I'm sure we can figure something out!

Hey there Rye,
Didn’t mean to sound so presumptuous – I know this Detroit gig is your baby. Add to this that I’m only hoping that Randy can fit these mods in too… as I haven't asked / told him about the idea yet! …Guess I was thinking that this ‘party’ might go like others I’d read about.

Gonna give Randy a call tomorrow.

Cheers!

I thought we already cleared this up with Randy? He's last statement to my similar request was, "although I would like to, it wouldn't be cost effective" because he had to ship out more equipment. Maybe he changed his mind?

Oh boy...

Didn't mean to cause a ruckus

Silver:
Maybe if both of us are interested this might make it cost effective? ...I dunno, but I plan to call Randy & ask today. If it's a no, then I'll have to have this stuff sent to my place, or do it at a later date.

I'll post the outcome of the call.

Cheers mc

Randy,

I went to the Webb Motorsports site and saw two differenct ECU programs. What is the difference between Powerchips and EVOTech?

Also, What is the recommended Intake with the Pulley and Powerchips upgrade?

I'm considering participating in this Pulley Party. I'll work the Scheduleing with Ryan.

Thanks,
Radman

Update

Just got the word from Randy - You were absolutely correct, its a no-go


Oh well... I'll be there anyway & will get my ECU reflashed. Now I have to check the schedule. Though Friday is looking good. What about right after Ryan M?

Cheers,
mc

---> miinimc: sorry that Randy won't be able to fit in suspension mods. From what I remember of the Cinci pulley party, he was very busy all the time with just Pulley's and ECU's!

---> Radman; send me a PM or email with your contact info and what time looks good to you, and your time will be reserved :smile: Also, the ALTA intake is the most HP gain and the highest quality on the market now...and the sound is fantastic too!

There's a couple more guys in Toronto that are interested too that've contacted me from MINI2. Looks like we might have a Canadian invasion!

ok, Christian was awesome enough to change his time to Friday morning, where it isn't optimal for most; This is also an easy way for me to bump this thraed

For those that are interested in just an ECU, intake, or throttle body upgrade, Let me or Randy know. We can fit you in-between Pulley installs, just let us know the approx. time!

Welcome Charles, and also welcome to Harold - our 4th Canadian to join us!

This means that only Friday slots are open now, unless you plead and beg Randy to add you as a 4:30pm on one of the days

This is killing me. Just got my MCS (644miles) and would love to do a pulley. Obviously the break-in period and the timing of this event will not work. MCO has been fantastic to get up to 'speed' with my new love. I think I am the only Mini driver in Traverse City, MI.

Any suggestion on a proper milage to do such a modification? I am thinking about the 5k mark.

Will be looking for a spring/summer pulley event in Chicago or Detroit, maybe Ohio?!?
