there is a nice long straight away for the last 10 miles or so before the exit, don't think I have ever run that under 100mph...

is there an update on coding? ie day/times? i didnt quite find my way to this in time to get a time slot but still interested in driving down and getting the alpina transmisson tune and maybe a couple other things. thanks!

I mean I'll have a cable with me. Dunno if Steve ended up setting up the network in the barn though or whose doing the coding.

Turn In Concepts · 05-02-2014, 10:10 AM

1 day left!

I have everything loaded up in the truck and everyone has confirmed their appointments so we are in good shape.

We will be hitting the road shortly and resting up well tonight. Lot's of work ahead of us tomorrow and we are definitely looking forward to it. See you guys bright and early!

lol, it is worth noting that I have seen patch crews all over the place around there lately, BUT, you will want to avoid Reindhardt Rd if at all possible(GPS's love Reindhardt, your car will not!), Your best bet is to take Telegraph to Stewart which becomes bluebush.

I can still make something happen. I didn't get a network run to the main building when this sounded like it was not happening, but I do have my wifi extended out to the garage and a large portion of the driveway and I can probably leapfrog it a little further(Maybe reach the barns?!?!?) with the equipment I have on hand.

Edit: I will grab a spool of Cat6 cable while I am at Home Depot later and run a router out to the building. Cell service kinda sucks out there too, so this will offer free WiFi to those who are waiting

Making great progress today!

I am going to be able to open up a couple more spots for walnut blasting tomorrow so if anyone would like to join in on the group buy feel free to give me a call to set it up. My cell number is 5138006858.

Thanks to the TiC guys for driving up to MI this weekend.
Thanks Brandon for setting this all up and of course, thanks to Steve for having a place for all the work to take place.

should I be worried about my walnut blasting appt tomorrow.....concerned about the alcohol consumption tonight lol. how are your cars feeling that were walnut blasted today folks?

charrigan · 05-03-2014, 06:53 PM

I can't wait to get mine blasted. I think my timing pull on jb4 is related to dirty valves.

Do I win a prize for dirtiest valves? As far as I know they haven't been touched in 117k miles :/

lmao. we were all drinking, but the TIC guys refused to have a drop while working on the cars. we did however take a few cars drifting and build a jump for one of my jeeps... was a lot of fun!

Fun meet today. Nice meeting everybody. The TIC guys are a great group of guys and do great work. Knocking out the cars well within the time slots.
Wish I could comment on the difference of a walnut blast, but my car started throwing crazy misfires after changing the plugs and of course had no coils on hand. Have a full new set coming in this week..

The pictures Dan posted of valves are of my car.

Here's another vid of the subarmw's.

Huge thank you to everyone involved!! TIC/Kent were total professionals and worked very fast, Steve had the perfect location, and Brandon had the original idea to set this up. I am super happy with the results and pretty sure everyone else feels the same way.
