None of us have owned/worked on AWD vehicles since the late 90's and so far it's only been Supras/Vipers coming through. We are talking about getting everything setup so we can do AWD vehicles.

All in time!

just an FYI, removing the driveshaft to dyno the car isn't such a great idea unless you like buying transfercases. evos are not the same as DSMs. running the front diff at a different speed then the rear for a prolonged time will burn up the transfercase, and they are roughly 2500 dollars to replace. to do it you need to weld the front and rear together inside the transfercase, so that they spin together. which i'm sure no one wants to do.

Just find out when Cobb or Gotham is doing a dyno day and piggy back off that. I did my dyno pull at Gotham at a dyno day for 3000GTs.

I was going off what our AEM tuner told me but thanks for the information, guess no Evo's on the dyno. Last time any of us up here had an AWD was roughly 99 when Dusty(owner) had a 98 GSX Eclipse and in 03 I had a 95 Talon TSI AWD. We have yet to need to tune an Evo till this one as most just purchased basic bolt ons or suspension.

We do plan to get setup to cater to AWD customers since in a few months the Evo will be out of the body shop and here for basic bolt ons and AEM.

Regards,
Robert

Since you're local, do you have any info on the offroad park that Bridgeport is opening? My brother in law is a big offroad guy and he's super interested to head out there.

I bet we could get Chad to take a couple of the lighter sections of video too

Come and chill with fellow car enthusiasts for a laid back Sunday. Plenty of eye candy to gawk it for the day. Some sneak peeks in our shop:

Let us know when you get the AWD dyno. That would justify the 1.5 hour drive for me. Maybe we could make an NTEC cruise out of it...

It was just an open invitation to everyone. This isn't a car specific meet, more less just so everyone can come hang out and bs with everyone. This dyno day is posted up on over 10 forums we sponsor so we are hoping for a decent turnout.
