So with the shop all setup and the dyno up and running, Abbas and I would like to hold a grand opening meet at the shop in the next few weeks.

It is that busy time of the season as most guys are wrenching away on their cars getting it ready for the upcoming season, so we are unsure if now is a good time for everyone, or if we should push it out a month or two.

We were wondering what your thoughts are on having a meet during the 1st week of May ?

Feel free to suggest some dates, and if/when your DSM will be running. We would like to see a good show up of DSM's which can be a challenge in this day and age. At the same time DSM or no DSM we will still hold a meet at the shop depending on everyones availability

lol I was waiting for your gr
and opening to get the parts to finish up my 2g. but I would be coming in my 1g.

I personly dont think I can wait till may to buy parts.. but if it ends up in may... I will prolly bring the 1g for a show n shine!

Early May is only like 3 weeks away..sounds good to me...

My 1g is running. Definitely not a show and shine car. That's the 2g and not too sure when that one will be ready. 1g has the green light though. Beginning of may is doable. Although work for us goes up in summer and most wkns get packed on but I'll make it.

Id love to have my 1g ready for the first week of May and come out.. Honestly don't think I can make that deadline though.

Today I did the first pull of the year @ 42 psi, so I'm definitely ready . I may see you tomorrow.

I'm down. If I get an alignment on the Talon before then, then I'll be in the Talon but if not then the Laser will make a showing.

Are you running the dyno that day too?

I always shoot for may 24 weekend.
I don't be ready until then.

Sure, I don't mind putting a car or two on the dyno that day. We will more than likely be having a BBQ going as well

Kinda curious to see what a 100% bone stock 92 Laser RS FWD 5-Speed will put to the wheels after all these years...

And a bone stock TSi AWD!

I might be able to swing coming if it's that soon but it won't be in the talon

I will definitely be there, should have the dsm out in the next week or two..

This grand opening needs to be filmed! We need camera man, anyone?

I'm hoping to be running first or second week of may but it may even be at your shop at that point lol

i'll be there if I get my new clutch in on time lol

So Saturday May 7th will probably be the day, we will confirm in the next day or two.

Salomon and Lucian, I have booked both of you in for the dyno

Maybe I can come with my drone/gopro.

I have to be downtown for the Blue Jays game in the afternoon (1:07pm start), so if the festivities start early in the morning I can swing by for a bit but otherwise I think I'll have to give Lucian the '92 Stock Dyno Crown.

Feel like throwing a bone stock, entry level 2015 civic on the rollers for shits and giggles?

Hello Gents,
So we have decided to hold the grand opening on Saturday May 7th from 11am-4pm.

We will be doing a BBQ so come hungry with or without a running DSM Cameras are welcome for you youtube guys, would love to see a nice video! Just a heads up for anyone looking to pick parts on the 7th, please place your order online before hand to make sure you get your parts. I will be behind the grill so i will not have time to pick any parts for you. Can not wait to meet everyone in person!

Lets get a list going for the attendance, so I can see how much meat I need to get for the BBQ

I work in Milton until 1pm so I will be coming later on during the day. I know Reza saved a spot for me on the dyno that day, but I will not have my 1G out in time. But he's welcome to strap my X to the rollers and run it

8 Jerry Plawski 95 Eagle Talon

On a Saturday? Why? The Sabbath perhaps? Didn't know you were Jewish Reza. Sunday however, would be much better. I'm sure you'd have a better turnout. Count me in if you switch it to the 8th.

Are you guys against non-board member attend? I know a bunch of dsm guys on tuners that can't make accounts on here.

Can't wait to see the new shop, guys.

It is not my place to speak for them, but I don't think EITHER of the businesses throwing this grand opening are catering exclusively to ca.dsm.org members. Generally a grand opening or an open house are public events.

Not at all, bring all your friends

Yes all are welcome.

If someone gets video and/or pictures and such i'll edit it in to a video of the whole openning

2008 Evo X

May 7th Tim.

Thanks. I will do my best homey!

If my motor is done by then, I will be there too!

I guess pencil me in?

Just put your name on the list. Since this is a DSM thing, maximum 2/3 of the people on the list are going to show up anyways....

I'm already going this wkn so I'm a definite for next

I'll be stopping by...

Woah!

Its been awhile.

for all the "WEST ENDERS" going down on Saturday theres a group of us meeting at the timmies at the corner of Hespler road and Eagle street at 9:30am ad will probably be rolling out at around 10am so if anyone west of Cambridge is coming down and would like to join the convoy feel free!

Sweet good stuff, I'm hoping this will be a good turnout. Saturday is 22 degrees C, so great weather for a DSM meet.

We will be firing up the BBQ and we will have soft drinks. Everyone feel free to BYOB and have a good time here

Thanks Abbas

cant wait guys excited to meet you all tomorrow!!

Yeah me too, last time we had a meet this big was 2 years ago.

I'll be leaving Milton at 1PM and hopefully the 401 isn't too bricked so I can make it there for about 2 or so. Save me some burgers please

Sandras car is all back together sfter a new water pump and belt last night.. Gonna throw in some Link tonite. Should be good for tomorrow. Is there a Cars wash and a 94 octane gastation on my way in from the 401?

There's a coin car wash next door to the shop Jay!

And a fitness depot!! Which I will be stopping at on the way home.

I may show up to the circle jerk as well. I hope I have the time to show support to Rezle

Placed small order on website. Thank you Abbas and Reza! See you all there!

Hope you all can make it out tomorrow I think there are another 10-15 people who are not on the list that will show up, hopefully more.

We have the whole lot available in the building, so we should be able to accommodate parking for all your cars
See you all tomorrow.

We will be BBQ'ing burgers, hot dogs and chicken legs.

Coin wash is right next to our unit in the Husky gas station, 94 octane is just North of the 401 on Brock at Hwy 2.

Guess I'll be the first to officially back out.. unfortunately I need to head over to the ER.

Have a great time guys! Wish I could be there.

Grill has been fired up, we have lots of food. Come down if you can folks

were just at the onroute before oshawa.. giving the car a break.

Please video it and take lots of pics for the board and those who can't make it today

I'm gonna have to bail. It took me 35 minutes to get from Milton to Mississauga, and checking the traffic report the highways are all jammed till Scarborough.

In other words, I'll never make it on time

Was nice to see you guys again and meet some new people. Thank you Reza and Abbas the shop looks great. Food was very good. thanks again.

Food was awesome, as was the hospitality, and there was enough to feed several armies! Nice to see some old familiar faces, some that have not been around in a while, and put faces to some newer names.

Thanks again, and hopefully both businesses are as successful as the grand opening!

We Had a Great time! Great Turn out!
Sandras 1g had no issues on the trip! We need more gatherings like these!

Yeah definitely nice to put faces to names (although I usually can't remember names unless you beat them senseless in my head a few times :p). A great turnout nevertheless

Still can't believe how clean and original Craig's 1g was! Also glad I got to see Rob's laser. DEI heat shield on the list of things to buy and he gave me good pointers on what to do for future mods. He's very meticulous on every part of his build in terms of function. I like that. Of course Reza's 1g was nice to see/hear, but I knew that from the get-go.

Food was awesome and the hospitality was top notch as Ziggy said.

Glad to have RTM and Dynotune under the same roof!

Thanks Abbas and Reza for hosting it, was nice and food was great!

Great to see everyone again and put some names to faces.

Sounds like you guys had an awesome turnout and an awesome time! I'm seriously jealous and pissed I didn't get to make it down.

Where are the pics/videos?

Most on Facebook, I'll try putting them on here tonight.

Well i only took a few





Just kidding, i stole those from Gui on FB There's still more

Who belonged to the red 1ga?

Sandras 1g

Jay that is Rob's 1g

It was great to see everyone! Turn-out was good and actually I'm feeling more enthusiastic about working on my Laser now.

Thank you to Reza for hosting, the burgers were awesome!

For those that asked:
1) The exhaust manifold blanket came from here: http://turbo-performance-products.myshopify.com/collections/dsm-products-1

He doesn't list a Turbonetics T3 blanket there, but he has the pattern for it and is happy to make whatever you want. Very helpful and responsive, I found. Good price too.

2) The hood insulation: http://www.designengineering.com/ca...r-tunnel-shield-ii-heat-sound-insulation
I believe I got: #050509 - 42" X 48" (14 Sq. Ft.), $175.15
I got this at the Shootout as the DEI guys were packing up their booth. They gave me a big discount on it, I guess they were trying to lighten their load. It used pretty much the entire roll to do the underside of the hood. Great stuff and I'd do it again.

3) Projector HID lamps: are Morimoto H1, I posted a writeup here somewhere on installing these.

Thanks to everyone who made it out, it was nice to meet everyone again.

Abbas's wife prepared all the burgers and marinated the meat, so many thanks to her.

We are hoping to have even bigger DSM meets at the shop in the near future 😊
