*PICS ADDED* NECM/NYCM MA Meet

[InFuMoUs]

But it would be well worth it!  You know you want to come. :mrgreen:

I'm with Chino...any weekend is fine with me. I'm free on saturday so any of those saturday's that has the most amount of people is fine with me...besides how can I pass up a BBQ  

Dyno's dont have no ill effects on the engine or tranny or anything correct cuz I need my ride to be able to make it back home lol

the way ive heard the dyno process described is no different from flooring it onto the highway. Its not like they hit your engine with a hammer, and besides, its a honda, it can take it. I've put 4 fat chics in my car and drove around on bumpy roads in the finger lakes region of upsate NY from winery to winery and my girl pulls just as strong as the day i bought her. (actually more cause of tha mods n stuff but you know what i mean)

lol ite man

I'm definitely considering this. And since you're talking about doing a bbq, I can probably bring the fam out for this. I'm sure the wife would like to take the trip just to get off this rock. I think mid June would give me plenty of time to set it up on my end.

The shop actually sets up the BBQ, but I'm going to talk to them and see if they're cool with us bringing additional food.  We could make it a weekend meet and do a dyno day on Saturday and a BBQ on Sunday.

[Mike]

Let me know If thats the plan I'd get a hotel in the area, and bring the other half if it's going to be a weekend thing.

[timot_one]

I'd like to make it a weekend thing if possible.  Who's up for a weekend thing?

[CrackerTeg]

Gotta check with the boss. But I think she might go for it.

[Mike]

I'm in! It's always nice to get away for the weekend, and although it's only like an hour and change away I can't see driving it two days in a row.

[timot_one]

Yeah buddy, it's not really worth driving back and forth.  There are a bunch of hotels near my office and a few that aren't too far from the shop.

[Mike]

That will be cool.

[timot_one]

I just got off the phone with Dave at ESP and he was very cool and very accomodating.  For anyone that wants to come just to hang out and not dyno your car, you are definitely welcome.  I was wrong about the 1/4 mile thing though.  They don't have a track, but set up 1/4 mile runs on their dyno so we can set up some sort of bracket racing if you guys want a little friendly competition.

[JLAV6]

Nice. I can probably make it out and hang out. No need for me to dyno if im still all stock for now.

[striktlyaccord]

I'll post to show interest in this, but sometime in April the whole scheduling system is changing at my job. I won't know what my shifts will be until a few weeks from now, so I can't commit to anything yet.

Steve - The only ill-effects (if you want to call them that) on the car are since it gets run pretty hard on the dyno, it'll eat up some gas.  Also, after I completed my dyno, my abs light was on, but that was because the front tires were moving but the rears weren't so the car was like "wtf?".  Once I drove a bit, though, the light went off.

Tim - I figured that the 1/4 mile thing had to be on the dyno and not a real track.  That's how the place in RI does their 1/4 mile "races" as well.  I guess they print you out a ficitonal time sheet and junk.

[Mike]

I wonder how much time they give you between pulls? Enough to change an intake?
