Hi all,

We are putting on an EFI tuning class and I'm posting this to get an interest check for attendance from a few car clubs in the GTA. The class will be held at PUR Automotive in Toronto.

The instructor is Greg Banish, one of the most renowned tuners in the industry. His day job is engine calibration and mapping for OEMs. He also tunes aftermarket EFI systems as a hobby and for educational purposes.

What makes this course unique is the fact that it makes use of a dyno as a teaching tool. Mr. Banish will tune a car live before students' very eyes, using our brand new Dyno Dynamics twin-eddy current retarder dyno. This gives students the ability to see the effects caused by a change in tune in real time.

As a BONUS, all participants in the course will be alotted their own time (2-3 hours) with the dyno at a later agreed-upon date.


This is a rare opportunity for us in Ontario because most of these classes take place in the states, which means high costs of travel and accomodations are always associated.

By us hosting this class in Toronto at our shop (PUR Auto), you are able to save huge on airfare and hotels. The class will take place some time in March and the cost will be somewhere in the $800 range. Remember that this includes personal dyno time in addition to having Greg teach about dynamometers as a teaching tool.

The course will take place over two days, almost certainly on a weekend. Class size IS limited so if you are interested in this, don't wait to sign up.

Yeah paying heckles sucks.

I think Weir needs to go with a "Pur is a crap tuner" shirt with maybe a pict of Pur automotive on fire like the one used on the front page.

Ew.

That's what I get for not reading. Figured it was a educational promotion, not for money.

I should haven't expected that much from PUR.
