Here is an updated listed so far, going to give it until Thursday before we close this and start figuring out the schedule. We may try to all meet on the same day, possibly Saturday (Helix said it may be possible). If not, you can schedule your own time.

I spoke to Ryan this week and would like to have mine done, PM me to set a day and time.

335NJ · 09-18-2014, 11:52 PM

Sooooooo, since we will all be hanging around for some time at Helix October 4th, should I bring beer?

Nothing sounds more German than some German beer, and walnut blasting N54's.

Maybe we should fire up the grill while we are at it. Ryan just made us Korean BBQ last week (awesome), so I know there's plenty of fuel in it. I'll go pick up some burgers-n-stuff.

sickem · 09-22-2014, 02:57 PM

@eric@helix I can't come on 10/4 but am still definitely in for the GB. I'll give the shop a call to schedule separately.

chillbil79 · 10-02-2014, 12:24 PM

Guys

Updates please on your GB walnut blast by Helix

How did it go?
How many miles on cars when had it done and pics

Also : did Helix use a scope to see if you even needed it done before started job?

CBlasek · 10-03-2014, 02:45 PM

Is it too late to get in on the group buy?

Mykindaguise · 10-03-2014, 04:26 PM

Walnut blasting starts tomorrow morning.

Im at 53k miles...I will post my experiences once everything is complete.

My pictures came out kind of bad, but did anyone else take any before & after pictures?

Damn!! How many miles on yours? Assuming you are tuned as well?

Did Helix use scope to inspect ?

44k, and it's never been done. They didn't scope anything, I can't imagine them being able to see more than maybe one set of valves without taking the whole manifold off anyway.

Darn! looks like I missed this deal. I will have to schedule it some other time I guess.

prowheelie92 · 10-06-2014, 01:13 PM

i missed this aswell. is there a way we can still get this price?

eric@helix · 10-07-2014, 10:21 AM

We could use a scope, but if you're popping off the throttle body to scope it, you might as well take off the manifold: it's not that much more work. Moreover, if the car has more than 50k miles, you're going to need the cleaning service, so you might as well just remove the manifold.
