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

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
