So I've been talking with several people somewhat local to Guhl Motors (SE Pennsylvania area) about getting a group ride together. I've just talked to Don over at the shop and he agreed to knock $40 or so off of the price if we can get 7 people to do a ECU flash done. I'm not sure if this is doable or not, but I figured I'd ask.
The full retail cost of the flash is $275 for just a flash. Dyno time and any removal of the ECU will cost extra ($60/hour is their labor rate). That basically means that we can save a bundle if we can take out our own ECU's, which he says he's had people do in the past. I assume that means a line of FZ8's half torn apart in the parking lot.
If we have a handful of us getting it done, Dyno time probably won't be able to get done on that day. If we can get a list started with who wants to get a flash done and what mods you have, it will save time and keep us organized. The downside to a group of us getting it done is that it will likely mean that it will be more of a meetup than a group ride. It still could be a good time though and a chance to meet a bunch of local FZ8 riders.
We also need to start looking at dates. If you're interested in going along, let's start proposing dates ahead of time. The complication with this is planning ahead of time with the severe weather that we've been having in the area. They are not open on Sat. or Sunday. If we have a large enough number of people, maybe they would be willing to open but I haven't asked that.
If you're interested, please start listing available/unavailable dates if you can and what mods you have done. I'll do my best to start an organized list to keep track of it.
