    MRX goes to detroit!

    Figured i'd put this in OT since i wasn't specifically looking to create a meet...anyways...I'm being flown to detroit to tune a turbo 5th gen and turbo GSR!!! All expenses paid including food, room stay, etc. The flight leaves out of ORL so i have to get off work early on Friday Aug. 19th and make the 2-3 hour drive to orlando (half day and gas are being paid for too). Apparantely, the tuners around the area aren't too bright, the two guys have a plane voucher, and desperately need to be tuned. I'm gonna be taking my wideband, chip burner, and laptop (not sure how i'm gonna get the chip burner past customs ). But of course there is a scheduling problem.

    Leaving Jax and departing Orlando at 7pm will get me to Michigan around 9-10ish pm. Well the dyno's there are open in the morning but i need about 3 hours per car before we hit the dyno (overestimating) and then the latest flight out is at 3pm that same saturday! I'll be a zombie but if i stay till sunday the price of the ticket goes up $75-100. If i do end up coming back on saturday i'll definately need some sleep so i'd have to get ahold of wikked and crash at his place instead of driving home half asleep.

    Regardless of whether we have to push for time or not this is very exciting for me. Just thought i'd share cause i feel special now Oh and this accord has practically the same setup as me but on a f22b2 with a beautiful ram horn manifold so he should put down even more power than me.

              MRX, Inc. or Wikked X if me and carlos ever team up. I'd never really looked at turning this into a business tho, just something i do on the side.

                      Thats awesome.. and yeah, I figured people would start flying you across the country soon. You definately know your shit, and have experience, and tried and tested plenty of stuff. And on top of knowing all that crazy stuff, your an awesome guy. Have fun, and hopefully its not hot when you are up there.

                          You need to open a shop in IL so that I can come over and pay you to tune my car and not be worried that it'll blow up in my face a block later.
