OK, its finally here at home!

EFI UNIVERSITY presents the EFI 101 fuel injection tuning seminar in southern california at:

AutoWave, Inc. in Huntington Beach, CA

Autowave is a Honda specific repair and performance facility with their very own in-house DynoDynamics steady state chassis dyno!

We at EFI UNIVERSITY feel that the steady state characteristics and dual eddy current absorbers of the DynoDynamics chassis dyno give it the best features an engine tuner could want, and that is why we have chosen AutoWave to host what looks to be our best seminar yet!

If you've every wanted to learn how EFI works, what tuning is, and how to apply that knowledge to an actual fuel injection tuning session, then this is the place for you!

This 1 1/2 day seminar will cover all the basics of fuel injection tuning, with visual aids, a 50-60 page binder full of information for you to keep, and a full start-to-finish dyno tuning session on the second day to help bring everything all together!

This is the best bang for the buck way tojump start your fuel injection career!

according to the site it's gonna be nov 15-16?

and at $395?

Any plans to come to Arizona?

ninesecrx

Count me in...

EFIGUY

Since AZ and SoCAl are so close, we probably won't do an AZ seminar anytime soon......better try and make this one, as it might be a while 'til the next one!

Yes, the EFI seminar price has been raised to $395. We are panning on spending the extra money to enable us to make the seminar better for everyone.........it will include.......more take home materials, more dyno session time, more food...........and more learning overall!


Thanks to all of those Honda-Tech members who helped make the first seminars a huge success, and for all of their critical input. We have heard what you said and are making the changes to build a better seminar! Even at $395.00 it is the bargain of a lifetime!

{only the MN seminar will remain at $300, because it was advertised as such and there is still a low crowd turnout due to the small amount of enthusiasts in the area}

Let me know if there are questions!

EFIGUY

The final day for registration is OCT 31st.

If after that someone drops out, their seat will become open.

We are absolutely limited to about 35 seats......first come first serve.

If after the 31st of Oct we haven't filled all the seats, you can still register, but we may not be able to get you a take home binder. The reason we have cutoff dates is so we know how may binders to purchase for the class, how many tables and chairs to order, how much food, etc..........

bottom line is..............get in now, and don't miss out!

you cali guys are actually lucky, cuz its in Ben's backyard and there arent that many things to iron out. Setting this up is really tough on the organizers.

why only paypal? can it be any other way besides paypal? i had a paypal account but it's now gone.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yes payment can be check, money order, or credit car{via payal}

As far as NorCal.............we already tried organizing one up there but couldn't get enough participation interest, so you probably ought to catch this one, as it'll be a while before we get up that way again!

Yes and what this translates into for you guys is a much more in depth seminar, because we can concentrate more on education than administration!

No comment, hehe. All i can say to the possible attendees is that this seminar will definately broaden your horizons, with tuning, and knowing how the engine works better. Overall, its worth every penny

rjardy

Okay I will re phrase it.

Is this ever going to come to the NORTHERN CALIFORNIA region?

Thank you

Robert, I was trying to answer your question subtly............the answer is we will not be in Northern California anytime soon. We already tried to organize one up there, but not enough people were interested.

I would suggest making the trip down for this one if you have an interest in learning all about fuel injection!

eddiecut

is this one full yet?

EFIGUY

nope, registration is open! First come, first serve.
