I got greedy and was outbid. Maybe see yall another time.

Too bad it wasn't in a barn or we would be set! It's a bit far from me but thankfully a friend lives close by and took a look. - Confirmed that rust is at a minimum which is unheard of up north - nothing on the exterior, just some hidden corrosion gems like under the hood. - Found the first...

Longtime MSF lurker. Short term MSO lurker. Found a Speed6 in Canada completely unmodded (can I speak MSF here?). I'm entertaining the idea of getting back into the madness but I'm having doubts and I came to tge only place to talk me out of it. Unmodded Never tuned Even wear on all four tires...

Have the entire engine down to nothing with the exception of the heads. Those will be disassembled after the weekend once I can borrow some tools. Mechanic friends are the best especially when they have tools you need and you manage a restaurant they like to eat at. I was pleasantly surprised...

Rear sway bar install with Moog endlinks - Replacing tired struts with an aftermarket alternative in the near future...

Pulled my oe downpipe out. Luckily was a cake walk. O2 sensors and studs were easy, heatshields gave me the most grief. Removal was a cinch as my subframe was already pulled. Best part about Canadian winters is months of modding potential while the daily suffers outside in the cold. Who...

Hello all. I come from the land of 4x4s and big V8s. I picked up a stock 2010 Speed 3 in December with approx. 46xxx miles. I was modest with mods at first but now that I picked up a more practical daily that I don't care about, the Speed can receive special mod treatment. Currently installed...
