RMW dyno tuning DC area May 13-14
We'll be hosting a dyno tuning event at our shop in Sterling, VA with Jan from Revolution MINI Works on May 13-14, 2011.
Jan can tune any supercharged or turbocharged MINI. The tuning slot is an hour and a half.
Pricing is $465 (R53 cars) or $640 (R56 cars). That cost includes dyno rental, air/fuel analysis, and Jan's tuning. You'll get before-and-after dyno graphs you can keep.
PM me or call (571) 434-8333 to reserve a slot. We will take a credit card to reserve your slot, although we won't charge your card until the day of the event. (You can cancel up to five days in advance without penalty, but after that you will forfeit your payment if you cancel or don't show up.)

Have fun everyone. We had a great time up here. Even if you don't get a tune, stop by and watch. Bring parts, swap stories (no internet police) and have fun.
I have good news and bad news Nick. Someone is going to start one in Ohio right now. The bad news is it is you.
I organized the one in CT, just because I wanted one like you. Here is the process.
Go to your local sub-forum (Mine was northeast). Start a thread that says "who is interested in a RMW tune. Check to see if any have been held near you (so you know a good place), message Jan if not see if he has recommendations. Then just let the list grow. Once there are enough folks, Jan will set a time frame, and you fine tune it.
It wasn't hard and very rewarding.
I used Swift that was used last year. It wasn't close to my house, but rather very close to the middle between Boston and NY. I figured that would make more folks within a reasonable drive. You might want to do the same. Folks who post in your thread may have dyno recommendations.
Basically, you can do it. Just give it a shot.

Excellent advice and a big thank you to HRM for setting up the event at Swift a few weeks ago.. I had to do the same thing to get Lyle from Vinyl Styles to come out to the NYC area for a vinyl wrapping weekend. I kept emailing him every few months asking if he was planning on coming out to NY. Finally he told me to make a post and based on the responses he would make his decision.

I had hoped to try and make this event, but lack of funding has forced me to delay doing so (i.e. spent too much before and at MOTD). I will be checking the forums in the future for whenever the next tuning session comes about. You all have fun and enjoy. I finally got to meet Jan at MOTD this year. He's a great guy and cool MINI enthusiast.
