No fender paint. Want the bumper painted black like the stcok one.
It takes a couple days, one to paint prep and one to install after the paint is dry. But, if I paint it in the morning I can have er installed mid afternoon or 3 or 4 hours after I paint it. We can make it work let me know-
Thanks guys

Rest of the folks on the list: It seems such a shame that given all Clint's hard work setting this whole thing up that he won't be able to make it. Especially because things are tight work and money wise.

With 25 or so of us scheduled it would only be an extra $20 each to pay for Clint’s his tune + dyno time.

I for one would be happy to start with $50 towards Clint's tune. Anyone else care to donate something so that Clint doesn’t miss out on the RMW goodness?
Great to see guys!
Got to love the mini community

Put me down for the extra $20.

And Clint, if you can hang around for a bit, Saturday dinner is on me after Skog gets finished up. Maybe we can talk you into joining PSMINI!

Keep me posted on the possible dinner. If I can wrap things up early at work on Saturday I'd love to hang. That is, of course, if you will have me ...

Scoop, would you want to post results like you did for the PSMINI dyno day. It was a lot of fun even though some people got bent over the chart comparisons. Anyone in this group mind if we publish their dyno charts just for our own personal use and entertainment?

OK then ... the dinner idea seems to be blossoming nicely.

Clint, would you please invite Jan and the dyno man? After three solid days, they'll either be too tired to eat or REALLY hungry and thirsty. Either way, we all want them to feel welcome.

Scoop, I think you're gonna be so happy you'll want to tell us all about it - so yes, you can come too.

Now to any and all locals ... let's hear about your favorite hole-in-the-wall down that way.

Finally ... head count please.

There's a Keg restaurant basically behind Speed Factory. Right next to the Alehouse, Dairy Queen, the bowling ally, Wendys, Taco Time and Indochine. The Keg would be the best of those after Indochine ($$). Across the street (19th) is a Pho place, iHop, and a teriyaki place along with Starbucks and Taco Bell. There is also a small Russian place and a good sushi joint a little further down.
But - the club had a meet or two at a members restaurant downtown a couple times that has more than ample parking. It's only 10 minutes away...

Sounds like Rorik is very familiar with that area!
Tacoma is 20 minutes south of Seattle, Im not sure if you prefer Seattle since you mentioned you had friends there or if you would like to stay close to the tuning shop?
Anyway I look for some today.

My results are free for the posting. My car is something of an Alta poster-child... mostly because they are semi local and ship quickly when my impulse-buy nature takes over. I've found their prices reasonable and their products effective, so let's put some numbers to that and put em on the web.

Here is a link of the closest Hotels that are available from the 18th to the 22nd. I am not familiar to the area so any other input would be great. Maybe someone knows one of these places?

Anybody sick of this weather yet?

If I were picking a place for me.. in no particular order: Silver Cloud, Murano, Courtyard/Marriott - Tacoma, Red Lion Inn. If you want to get to Seattle easily, the SeaTac airport is just about halfway between the dyno shop and downtown Seattle.
There are several decent hotels right across the street from the airport.

Just talked to Jan, he will be joining us for dinner on Saturday night after the tunes. Hopefully we get done in time! So just plan on being there so we can meet and greet and share stories and minis. We can meet at the Speed Factory and go from there. It will be fun! Be there or be [ ]!!!

Thanks Rorik for the Hotel info-
