RG is trying to pull something and is entered in the Pro 2000 class.......he is just messing with everyone or he put a Pro R engine in his car.......

That should be fun and interesting lol

What day you going down next week? I’ll be in the San Nicholas parking lot on Thursday if you’re around.

That’s a great looking car. I hope the other manufacturers take notice.

So is there any real world “Speed Key“ experience yet?

Question or 2 for Ya !

Did you notice any other NEW cars inside the Havasu location or Did it seem empty & no activity going on ?

When did they call you for pickup / delivery / dinero for your car ?


Asking for a nerfing Inmate….

LoL

No way he puts anything but a Speed engine in a Speed. Can you imagine how that would go over running another UTV manufacturers engine? Maybe he’s running a bigger bore engine? Also the Pro R engine, trans & separate rear dif complicates things and is not an easy engine swap.

No new customer cars at the dealership. They delivered three cars on Saturday including ours. Normally customer's are taking delivery the same or next day when they get to Havasu.

In the morning the service area was fairly empty and by 12:00 pm 4-5 cars were dropped off for normal service.

Speed sends you a picture of your car getting loaded into the shipping container. Delivery is 4-6 weeks after that, including PDI. When your car arrives at the PDI facility they contact you for payment, signatures and Warranty.

Feel free to call me if you have any other questions. Shane 818-540-5656

Man I should have bet you last summer for delivery. Congrats on getting your car. I’m sure you’ll love it.

 

[Racer56]

Jefe

I know how you feel about not getting your car. I was super excited the first two years and the last year not so much. Now that I have my car the excitement is back.

My guess is you will get your car in May.

You should have and I'm glad you didn't. I would be happy to buy you a beer sometime!

Congrats on the car brotha! You and the wife look ecstatic. Can’t wait to see the finish product of your riviera home when it’s complete.

To be honest, I don't even want it at this point.

Thanks and I'm working my ass off trying to pay for all this stuff. Hopefully I will have time to enjoy it. I can't wait for the day the Riviera house is done and all my toys are finally in the garage!

That's how I felt, but once it shows up you will get pumped up again. BTW, the fit and finish on the current cars is a lot better than the early cars.

We are leaving on Friday to goto San Felipe for a week

That's positive news! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you get to drive it.

Hard to justify another couple more grand to fix another Speed design flaw. And needing the oil cooler is not just for running a windshield. TR is saying the oil cooler helps lower the heat transfer from the engine to the CVT.

I don't find it hard to justify at all.. When I bought my Can Am I had to put in a front bulkhead and a bunch of other shit before I even drove it. Shit happens, identify the problem fix it and move on.

You didn't have to , you wanted to because there is 1,000 out there without those modifications !

Wow, can't believe this came from your keyboard! Did you get hacked?

 

[DLC]

Dumping Cash to improve looks, fix issues, increase performance & comfort isn’t a problem.

The problem is RG promoted Speed Car as Not needing upgrades….

So dumping $5-6 k on the speed car is the same as a Can Am / Polaris ….

Out of curiosity, when did you get the picture of your car when it was shipping, and how long did it take to get it to you?

 

[Racer56]

Out of curiosity, when did you get the picture of your car when it was shipping, and how long did it take to get it to you?

I received email with shipping picture 7/12

8/16 I received email saying car arrived at Speed facility. They asked if I still wanted car, confirm sales order, if I wanted a warranty and where I wanted to pickup.

I didn't give them the required info until 8/21 as I was out of town moving my daughter into college.

8/21 I received final sales order and finance paperwork.

I didn't return the paperwork until 9/13 as I was out of town working at Vandenberg. Speed got a little threatening with me to return my paperwork as I had promised, but I procrastinate for 3 weeks.

Sand show delayed car delivery to Havasu by 2 weeks. I took delivery last Saturday 8/5.

If I had responded faster I probably could have taken delivery in Havasu the 1st or second week of September.

I will agree the front bulkhead in the can am was junk we replaced ours. It’s a matter of how bullet proof people wanna make it. I’m the type of guy who doesn’t want issues so I try to do what I can to prevent and you seem the same Dave.

The money I put into my RZR’s before I ever drove them was insane. Immediately I took all the shocks off of them and had redone. That alone was $1500.

 

[DLC]

My 2018 can am I had $20 k into my can am before I even sat in it !

Shocks
Seats
Tires
Wheels
Bulk head kit
Tie rods
Stereo roof
Radius rods
Pull plate
Lower a arms
Keller Ball joints
GPS
Radio
Intercom
Lower door inserts
Door bags
Lights, lights and More Lights
Bumper
Winch
Windshield
Dual batteries


I’m sure I’m missing a few things….

I wanted it done all at 1 time, So when I took it to Hava land I didn’t have to mess with it…

Shit adds up fast ! 7,500 miles !! Still running great !

Seems some of the Speed owners are spending well over $5K for alleged fixes and some actual fixes.

lol. I watched my buddy Roy take a brand new (less than 50 miles) can am down a basic trail following me in my ranger.. we hit the same bump hiis car folded up like oragami and ended up upside down.

So I guess you don’t have too, but after watching that I just decided I would. lol.

The double shear bulkhead, shock tower brace and lower a-arm gusset are definitely needed in a X3, however that is all easy and can be done for around $600 for entry level stuff in 4-5 hours.

I will admit this rzr Morgan motorsports built is bad f’n ass

 

[Bpracing1127]

He out, too unreliable.

Speed has that going on that the cars are very unreliable. Look at Dave’s

Turbo
Engine

Oddly no belts I think

But needed 6000$ worth of stuff to drive with windshield

Dave prolly has close to 60k in his and still unreliable lol
