Haha I'm sorry to be a pain in your back side. Only reason I was so persistent was because I'm unavailable to do it Sunday and don't want to miss out :(

Either day is fine for me, so Sunday morning will be okay! What time were you thinking of starting on Sunday? I'm not against an early start! I see your flight is at 3 pm? You'd have to allow probably 50 minutes to get from there to the airport to be safe, so you wouldn't want to leave any later than probably 1.15 pm.

How long does each tune take?

A BBQ lunch on the Saturday at SKR would be awesome, but I had not given any thought to lunch or dinner.

Dinner is probably going to some take away -sometime.

So Saturday and Sunday are both fine for me. Just don't want you to be too rushed on Sunday since you'll probably have to finish up by 1 pm.

Not to make it sound like I'm nagging either :D, any further thoughts on when the remaining cars will get done? As I said, I can do either Saturday and Sunday, whichever would be more suitable for you. I just didn't want to wait until the last minute tomorrow (well, I guess later today now!) to ask :).

:(. Last night I was coming back from Belair, going down the steep hill that goes off Belair Rd across from the top entrance to Windy Point lookout. I used the manual mode on the CVT to slow down (so up to around 2500-3000 rpm) with a little brake, otherwise you would have to heavily ride the brake down there, and when I got to the bottom of the hill the engine conked out. I managed to restart it but it was idling extremely rough and lumpy. I managed to get it across to the Windy Point lookout carpark. From there I had another look with some guys in their early 20's who were having a social meet there with their cars.

I sent a chat message in the chat window on the ClubCJ homepage to see if anyone was nearby that could come by and lend suggestions or whatever, but no luck there. Anyways, RAA guy came, couldn't find the issue, said I was safe to drive it home or I could get a tow truck. I got the tow truck, which was lucky since it completely lost power and kept stalling when moving in reverse to get it on the tow truck. The guys there helped push it back so I could get it on the truck.

Anyways, took it straight to the mechanic which was only open from 8 am to 12 pm today. I called them around 11 am and they said they couldn't find the issue. If they couldn't find it before 12 pm they would continue Monday. A big part of the issue is that it's not throwing any engine codes. Well, it's past 12 pm now so I guess that means no luck.

Any ideas of what it could be? Apart from the usual frustration one would get in this situation, I'm doubly disappointed because I have to miss the tune this weekend which I was immensely looking forward to.
