You're at school right? Your school doesnt have a weld shop you can use?

Unfortunately no. The school I go to (university of central florida) is the largest college in the country and doesn't have any of those facilities. All they have is a machine shop but it's so overworked that kids in senior design, the big engineering design course that requires lots of manufacturing, can't even get access to the shop. It's bs really. I'll see what I can do but it's probably gonna involve waiting until I graduate and have more $$.

The school actually just took away half of the shop that The Society of Automotive Engineers uses to produce their cars for competition to give it to some anonymous professor for "research" lol. Now theres even fewer resources than before.

Just wanted to drop you a line. Saw you are looking for someone to tune your car. I tune Megasquirt (among lots of other systems) at our shop in Longwood. We have a load bearing chassis dyno in house, and I'm also buliding a turbo Miata, right now, that is currently running naturally aspirated on a Rev built MS2 Enhanced. So if you need some advice/input or pricing for tuning you can shoot me a PM.
