Just posted my deposit as per the inst.

I would really like to get a time slot between 12-2 if possible.

For the remaining balance, can we pay credit card at the meet or is it cash/check?

Cool. I am just about 90% in. I need to determine my schedule that weekend as my wife works, I have to watch the kids, and I have a race on that Sunday. Are you going to be scheduling times so that if I drive up Sat. morning with my little kids, we can fill a time slot and get back down to Portland? If I can schedule around noon or so, I am definitely in.

Thanks,
Britain

Timeslots are selected on a first come, first served basis. I will be emailing them sometime today, so the sooner you get back to me with your selection, the better chance you have of getting the timeslot you would like.

We accept cash at the time of the meet, or credit card/paypal before the meet.

I finished the K&N Filter install, the hole in the airbox mod, cleaned the TB, and SeaFoam in oil/intake/gas today. It sounds like it is running better, but I haven't driven it yet. I will go like this for the next week or so, then change the oil and the spark plugs & wires. I should be all good to go for the meet in Lacy.

Already got my time! 2pm Friday, awesome!

 

[Rivieraracing]

Just need some confirmation from Jenna, Justin, or Haley on this question!!
Will Justin be performing everyone's crank relearn who bought the spare PCM? I know we do the security relearn on our own but what about the other, been asked by a few folks and wanna give correct info!!

I'll be able to perform the crank relearn for everybody with a 99 and newer vehicle. 98-99 blackbox PCM vehicles (don't think I've sent any out) will need the procedure done elsewhere IF the check engine light is illuminated.

 

[Rivieraracing]

Thank you for the confirmation, I will pass on the answer!! Thanks!

 

[Rivieraracing]

Well, lost another non-deposited person, Dave_ix, but still have some spaces left for the tune, if you are still thinking about joining but haven't yet, get on it and send you deposit in!! As of now we are 18 and strong, but could always use a few more people!!

Ok, I did the Vette Servo and the Superior Super 4th Plate tonight...super easy and the shifting is awesome! We shall see how it does with the car hauler hooked up this weekend.

All I have left to do is change the spark plugs, spark plug wires, and do an oil change before next weekend. Can't wait for more power!

-Britain

 

[Britain Smith]

Thought I would post a picture of my '02 Yukon. Got it all loaded up for a race this weekend. We shall see how it does on the trip with the mods I have done so far.

-Britain

 

[Rivieraracing]

I just seafoamed and deep creeped my truck tonight as well as cleaned out the MAF, now I just gotta change out the computer and do an oil change and I should be good to go for the meet on Saturday!! Man I love all the white smoke from a good seafoaming!!

 

[Britain Smith]

Wow...I spent nearly 2hrs last night changing the damn spark plugs & wires. I have been working on cars for over 15years and I don't think I have ever been so frustrated when doing such a simple task. My Yukon has about 92K miles and the plugs have never been changed. First of all, it was a ***** to get the plug wires off the plugs. The metal casing/heat shields did not make the job any easier as it was difficult to get a grip on them. Then the plugs were damn tight in the block and took quite a bit to break them loose. I am glad I changed them out though because the old plugs were quite worn and the electrode was just about gone. We shall see if there are any improvements in performance this week.

All that is left is an oil change before next weekend.

[Tahoe03mm]

Those plug wires getting pretty heat checked, that's for sure. I always try and put some di-electric grease or something around them when I put new ones on to make them easier to get off.
