Are you talking about Guido Frensmeyer of Movit?

Yes.........
His American east coast distributor is a good friend of mine. Rob Velasco. As a matter of fact Rob is coming over at the same time so his grandmother can see his new baby. Maybe a bunch of us can get together.

Guido is good people . He put his front and rear brake kits on my Camaro. Awesome brakes.

I am trying to get some dyno time during the week. I arrive on the 22nd, so thats kind of a time crunch thing.
I will keep everyone posted as we get closer.
I'm in communication with Rainer, who says he has at least 2 more tunes for me, and Guido is wanting one. So, on Monday, I'll post and we can total up the people wanting tunes, and start reserving time.
Thanks
Ed

Yes please do as I was under the assumption the 22nd was good. I need to know so I can adjust my schedule accordingly as I'm in the middle of PCS'ing etc...returning to the states.

I'll let you know just as soon as I can. If it looks like the 22nd is our only option, I'll do want I can to make you first.

22nd is my only option for this time, too, but need to see whether my piston rings come in in time ...

Ed,

I shot you a pm and email. Thanks.

Garry · **Posted:** Wed Mar 12, 2008 1:09 pm

I guess I'm more or less out of this one ... piston rings haven't come in yet, and while being put together it turns out the new timing chain I had has more slack than the one that had been in the motor ... so no probable way of seeing the car back together in time ...

Thats disappointing. I'd still like to meet ya though.
As for everyone else, I will be able to run cars at Henni during the week. The fee is 70 euro an hour plus 60 fee for the car. Dont know why they break it down that way but they do.
So, I'll be in touch with everyone, I'll post my Germany cell phone number in the next few days.
Silas, I'm going to try to do yours on the 22nd. I'm leaving that day open completely. Bruce will be at Henni until 6 pm that day. So, if our flight is not delayed, I think we're good for that afternoon. Also, the following Saturday is open completely for them. So we can run cars all day if need be.
As for the cost of the dyno, you guys will need to cover that. I should be able to get all of you guys dialed in on the street, and that will mean less time and $$ on the dyno.

SRZ · **Posted:** Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:24 pm

Sounds like a plan. So Bruce is charging dyno time @ 70 euro an hr + 60 euro for the car? :pat:

I don't understand that but whatever....

We'll get most of it done on the street, so shouldnt spend more than an hour on the dyno. He charges 80 for 2 or three pulls, or something like that. So I'll see if he'll just charge us per pull or something.

Hey Ed. Im good for the 22nd or 29th. Just let me know when you can get me in with my car. Ive got the money for the whole works plus figuring out my problem.

Doubt I can make it - I've got 24/7 support that week, had planned to swap the Saturday had the car been ready, but as coming down ~200mi to envy all the other folks that have their cars there isn't really very enjoyable ....

So, I'm hoping it'll work out for you to be back in the Summer and get the car in then ... that way, I should already have a decent baseline tune in with AutoVE tuning and results from the track

SRZ · **Posted:** Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:11 am

Well I hope you don't have any delays..I may just have to drive up there and bring you back in the truck and get it tuned down here if that happens. LOL!

Engine is on its way today, FINALLY!!!!

SRZ · **Posted:** Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:42 am

WTF?! Yo! This chit is crazy! Please tell me this is going to change before then. Anyone down in Stuttgart here of this?

Ed? Any way we can come and get you and bring you up to K-town where the weather isn't forecasted like this for this weekend?

... does that include packing up the dyno and bringing it with you?

SRZ · **Posted:** Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:05 am

Screw the dyno. I don't need it but I need some street tuning. I can always get it on the dyno when I'm back in the states.

Chevroletfreak · **Posted:** Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:08 pm

I could use street tuning also.....AND I am down the street from SRZ! Maybe even during the week.

SRZ · **Posted:** Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:14 pm

Yeah come on Ed. We'll take care of you while you are here.

Chevroletfreak · **Posted:** Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:29 pm
