EDGE Motorworks Cool Dyno Days on March 26th

EDGE Motorworks announces its next Cool Dyno Days event is March 26th, 2005.

We look forward to seeing more Minis at this event, and we'll likely have a few hard core Street Modified cars on the dyno, maybe even my V8 M3 project (fingers crossed)!

For those unfamiliar, our Dyno events provide a car show atmosphere, with dyno sessions available for $85 for 3 runs with Air/Fuel and a commemorative T-Shirt. We also provide a BBQ and drinks as well as door prizes. We should have a Dent Pro on premises that day for discounted dent and ding service.

We run from 9am until 4pm (although we have been known to run until midnight!!) and we'll have products on display from Eurosport, UUC and other vendors.

If anyone is interested in doing pullies, exhaust or intakes let me know, I can look into group discounts on the products or installs if we do them that day.

We are located in Dublin, CA at:

6449 Golden Gate Drive
Dublin, CA 94568
925.479.0797

Hope to see you all there!!

We are looking forward to meeting more of you guys and gals! Thanks to James for swinging by the other day. I have a bunch of pullies and the tools in stock, hoping to maybe put one on somebody's car on Saturday!

Are any Mini owners going? I don't have one yet, but I am considering buying one and I'd love to talk to some Mini owners and check out their cars.

Yes, I'm a Mini owner and plan to attend if I can leave work early that
day. I would like to Dyno my car after I installed all this expensive
performance stuff.
I think you will buy a Mini after talking to me!

Hi Jim - What time are you planning on going? Your MCS sounds very similar to how I would want to set mine up.

thanks,
matt

I'm sure I'll get there between 12:45-1 pm.

I have not read much about the UUC sway bar. Is it comparable to the H-sport??? Also, what is the cost to have it installed on the Dyno day??

Thanks!

The UUC bars are great quality, we have used them for a long time on our BMWs. The bar itself will be comparable to the H-Sport bar (not the tubular competition verson) and for the money seems even a better deal!

We can install it for $50 on Saturday if you want. Please confirm if you want it so I can hold it for you, I announced this special today and only have 2 left! (not that I can't get more)

Here is the exerpt from UUC:

"UUC Motorwerks 19mm rear sway bar is three-position adjustable and tuned for ideal street and light track handling.

Unlike larger bars which cause excessive oversteer and uncontrollable handling, the 19mm diameter is the smart driver's choice for neutral handling.

Long-term durability is assured by UUC's "best in class" alloy steel construction, protected with an attractive silver powdercoat.

Kit includes performance urethane swaybar bushings and replacement bushing brackets with a zerk fitting for easy re-greasing."

I'm glad to see you guys in the area as well. I also have plans this weekend, but might get by there Saturday evening sometime. I've been wanting to dyno my car for awhile now, but had no idea where to go.

Wen, I have a UUC sway bar. It's a 19mm 2 position bar. I think it's great, you'll feel the difference with the first turn you take.

Well, they are actually THREE position adjustable. Two holes=3adjustments.

Both Outer holes
Both Inner holes
One inner, one outer

That gives you three effective lengths and therefore stiffness settings.

You know I was going to ask you and Lyle to go. I need you guys to witness the non-pullied Brutl 1 #'s first hand.

Dude $85. aint sh-t either, I thought it would cost a couple hundred.


I'm getting the stock header minus the pre-cat back on tonight.

Thanks for the info., I just thought I had a older bar or something.

When would you want to use that 3rd setting you listed??
