For those in the Virginia area that are interested in getting in on a Pulley Party, we're working on having one during the early March 04 time frame. We have a location and 5 that are planning on the pulley upgrade plus three of those going for the ECU. If you're interested the link below will take you to Webb Motorsports for more info....Randy will be doing this one for us if we get enough interested.

Hey Marty: Do you live in Richmond? (I do) I have an '03 IB/W MCS with some mods (already have a pulley) but would love to come check out the party. Would be interested to meet Randy in person. Are you doing the autocross on Nov. 23? I'll keep an eye on what you guys are doing with the party. JR

John,
Actually I'm about 30 miles west of DC in Gainesville. If you check the posting at Webb Motorsports you'll that "sonracer" volunteered to host us at his house which is about 14miles south of Richmond just off of 95. He isn't getting the Pulley, just providing the garage and some tools. Hope to see you there.

s/f
Marty

I'll be one of the 5 getting the "Pulley". Looks like will be 1st., 2nd. or 3rd. weekend in March. The date will depend on Randy's availability. We need AT LEAST 10 so speak up ASAP.

Just for kicks I measured the time it takes to get from Richmond, Virginia to Philadelphia, PA (To get to Helix) and it's only about 4 and a half hours according to maps.yahoo.com.

I mean it's not like your coming from Canada

Cool, hello fellow motorers! I live in Glen Allen which is a little north and west of Richmond. I owned a Cooper for slightly over a year then traded for a Cooper S and now it's a JCW S. If anybody wants to get together for a drive or just check out each others car let me know.

I would be interested in asking Randy to install an Alta intake and/or larger TB if I don't have one by March.

Yeah, it's roughly 4.5 to 5 hours from here to Helix based on my drive up there (Great Valley) for job training last year.

Ohh, I can host a pulley party if nobody else can do so - I have a large one-car garage but a somewhat small driveway.

Well, I'm on the list at Webbmotorsports.com for the pulley..and possibly the ECU if I can scrape the cash together by then. (I have to try and be good for Christmas!)

Can't wait!

I've got the pulley, but would be interested in ECU upgrade. Can he do that on the spot?

Redleg13,
Randy can do the ECU on the spot. I plan on doing the Pulley and the ECU. Since I'm only 15-20 minutes from your house maybe we can drive down together.

Redleg13,

Thus far we have 7 for pulleys and 3 for ECUs. We also have a few that haven't yet committed but have stated interest.

A recent, rather substantial, raise should see the ECU make its way into my car at the pulley party. I PM'd Randy separately to notify him - though it doesn't change the overall number

Well, I hope some of you mid-atlantikers get some loot for the holidays, because I'd really like to have Randy come out!!! So I'll be dirt poor afterwards...the life of a scientist, I know it all too well.

FYI.... it looks like the Richmond VA Pully party will be either the 2nd or 3rd weekend in March. As soon as Randy gives us the date, we will post it. Keep watching and see you there.

I'd be interested in a pulley install during march. I live in Raleigh, NC so Richmond is only 3.5 hours away. What kind of pulley would it be?

It's an alta, but best of all it's installed by Randy, you would probably be almost his 250th pully install. Keep watching for the exact date and for directions. (4 min. off I.S. 95)

Just curious, what's the cost on the ECU? I already have the pulley and intake.

I'm also in Raleigh and am interested in having the pulley done in Richmond.

Also LUV2MOTR, depending on where in Raleigh you are and where in Richmond this thing ends up being, it is probably 3 hours or so, maybe less.

The pully party will be 4 min. off exit 58 on interstate 95, .... approx. 15 mi South of Richmond. We have approx. 12 pullys and 6 ecu's wanted done.

Yup, I used to work off exit 58 at Hill Phoenix (engineering stuff)
