Hey all. I'm making a video/documentary for a film festival that I will be participating in through my school. As of now, I'm thinking I want to do something about the tuner community. I need some cars to film, and some people to talk about their cars and the tuner community as a whole. I'd also like to incorporate the idea that the tuner community isn't made up of a bunch of idiots and we do responsible things too.

If anybody can help out, please PM me or shoot me an email at jrl1018@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!

I'd love to help out/get involved.

I've got pictures, but other than a one-night goof around; no video.

That would be great. Shoot me an email, cause I can't contact you through PM. Having someone talk about meets would be great.

I sent PMs out to a few of you, thanks a lot everybody! Anybody who can help is greatly appreciated.

No, I actually don't know anything about that. This is for one that I am entering through school, and can win scholarships if I win.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking about trying to get a few people together in the Montgomeryville/Warrington/Conshohocken/etc. extended area on Saturday. Not a ton of people, but it would be nice to get some group footage, and it would be easier to include more people this way. So if anybody is free on Saturday, hit me up with PM or email for specifics.

Thanks again everyone, I didn't really expect this kind of response when I posted this up here. It's awesome.

lol, cleanneon, stop saying clean boosted miata like you built it. If everysingle srt owner or dsm owner or subaru owner went around saying "boosted neon" or boosted dsm, or boosted wrx wouldnt it get annoying. Its a factory turbo car, and its not even that heavily modified.

The difference with those cars is everyone knows they are boosted. If I say "hey I have a mazdaspeed miata" most people are like "cool, i like the aero kit". Maybe one of 5 people I talk to knows or asks "that's the turbo one right", and in this situation, I think that's important to know. Besides, the OP didn't seem to complain about it. Stop being a hater.

I'm going to send out PMs to a few of you that I've already talked to to make sure you get this, and I'll include my cell number. If its raining, I'll post up on here no later than 12 to let you know its off.

If ANYBODY can come out, please let me know asap! Also, if anybody has any other ideas of when to meet up, let me know.

Hey I'm new on this board, however I can help you in the near future. I'm an audio engineer--just graduated from SAE in NYC. I can help you mix your audio via Pro Tools if you are on an AVID platform. I also am a composer and can score music for your next project. Maybe we can work on something since we're car oriented.
