That was one of the best webinars I've ever attended. I learned so much. Thanks again for letting me know about it!

Same–I was blown away by how much I learned. I mean, I knew it would be interesting, but I didn't realize it would be that good!

Please make sure you thank the company, too–they support GRM, and we do our best to have advertisers like that instead of advertisers that sell male enhancement pills.

Question: Would you guys be interested in doing another one of those?

Saw a couple names I recognized in the chat window, Wonko among them.
Won't lie, I multitasked my way through (wash, claybar, wax) so got primarily the audio but yeah, learned quite a bit despite that!

Dang. Missed it. Any source for remedial work?

You know, I tried to convince my immediate circle of car buddies to do an HPA class years ago, and there was no interest from them. You guys send out ONE email with their stuff, and suddenly all my buddies are excited about it.

"I told you so" should happen here somewhere, but I'm just glad they're drinking from the same pitcher of Kool Aid as me now.

To summarize, I've been saying the HPA classes are mandatory for gearheads for years - really solid stuff.

Inside tip: If you're considering taking classes or signing up for anything with HPA, follow them on Facebook or wait until GRM sends out another free seminar. They always offer good deals to join or sign up at the end of those free sessions.

I certainly will.. I'm trying to figure out if there's room in the racing budget this year for that package they offered.. It seems like a screaming deal, but I just don't know if it's in the cards for the moment..

I think one of the biggest things that surprised me was the amount of time and detail they spent on the Q&A.

The HPA guys normally come stateside for PRI weekend and host a happy hour or dinner as well and are great dudes. At their PRI gtgs it's been known that guys from diyautotune show up as well. 5 minutes of chatting about whatever tuning issue hang up that you're having ends up with solid ideas for resolution. Hair brain ideas that you think would be untuneable, say twin charging, compound charging, or itbs inside a plenum with a turbo, all gets outlined on how to tune. Those meetings are the best and brightest. A challenge team fielded by the people within the room of that annual gtg would be incredibly impressive.

We paid a visit to their Queenstown New Zealand shop yesterday. Really cool guys who generously spent more than an hour showing us around and answering questions. Cool turbo-charged 86 in the shop, sure would've liked to try it out.

You'll need to log in to post.
