Haha, I wish the turbo swap is more exciting than it is. I know the S3 is a great turbo, but I still would've loved something more exciting. The problem is that my Speed was supposed to be "done" with mods and then I got the turbo for a deal from a friend. I'm supposed to be focusing on my...

Holy crap, I had completely forgot about these until I saw this thread pop up again. With how annoying it has been to work around the hood prop while swapping turbos over the last couple days I think it's definitely time I order a pair.

Finally got away from the K04 and installed a slightly used BNR S3 today. Got a new Synapse SB BPV to go with it. Should have everything put back together tomorrow once my new intake to turbo coupler gets in...USPS sent it in the wrong direction today...

I have it reserved for the Richmond guys. It looks like a pretty sweet spot, I'm excited to try it out!

Yeah, navigating Rock Auto can be somewhat of an art haha. Especially when it comes to large orders where you are trying to get like twenty items all to ship from the same warehouse or two to cut back on shipping. I've spent way too many thousands of dollars there over the years... @VoodooJef...

That's the power of marketing unfortunately.

Hmmm, I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I've used Mevotech branded parts on quite a few cars and have never seen or had any issues. I installed the Mevotech arms on my buddy's car yesterday and they fit perfectly and adjust perfectly exactly the same as my SPC/ACDelco ones. If there is some...

The same arms are also branded as Mevotech and can be had from Rock Auto for $44 each. Just put them on a buddy's Speed this morning, they look and function EXACTLY like my ACDelco's (which said SPC on them.)

Ah, I've always loved those wheels. Also, I like the PSS for sure. They make it in a 245/40/18 as well if you want the extra rubber. I love how a 245 looks on a 8.5" wheel, and you have a good offset on those wheels where you can make it work with a little extra effort.

SWAS would kill power for me on some of the tighter sweepers when trying to accelerate hard out of a corner, especially on a sharp corner where it was a wide spot on the track where you could really cut the apex. Felt it at the track and also on the street. For some reason it seemed to impact...

Yes, I did haha. And I have to say that both came at very opportune times! I'm grateful that MSO provides us the opportunities for these raffles.

I have the JBR .125 on the middle setting. I have the regular brackets that come with it because I'm cheap. Definitely a great "bang for the buck" mod. I like the middle setting over the stiffest, it feels more neutral to me. Combined with sticky 245 tires, the rear definitely stays planted...

I'll be getting one whenever either my K04 dies (only 80k miles currently) or I somehow come across a large sum of money that I have no other use for haha. I've had my eye on the S4v1 for a while and didn't know they were updating it, so now I want the v2 even more!

I'm jealous of the Speed Triple. Green is the best color too. I wanted a Triumph for the longest time and test rode a Street Triple Rx a few times but never pulled the trigger. I do miss my Ninja 636 from time to time, but have been more focused more on cars lately than bikes.

I've been looking for an alternative to Redline as well, thank you for the review!

Just booked the Creek House at Dragon's Rest Cabins for NATOR RVA!

@Me2Speed3 - Dragon info for this year. Might just be me and you again.

I'm so hyped for this. This event is always my favorite to put on my calendar. I will be trailering down again and hopefully bringing the few RVA guys who couldn't come last year down.

I sold my second Speed3 the other day. I was prepping it for NASA Time Trials, but I have since decided to go the more traditional (and cheaper!) route: On the same day I picked it up I was able to score a matching OEM hardtop. I'm definitely looking forward to this build. I know...
