Thanks to all of you for the compliments. The Speed3 sure turns heads, I love watching it in motions at dusk and at night. The way if reflects light, the ways the wheels turn and its hunkered down presence makes me love it even more.

Volks TE37's you can PM Rishie (Endless Rotaries) int he vendor sections of the forum. He's a whole seller for Volks.

He's in charge of keeping the bugs and the small rocks off the filter to help with airflow.

You should be able to keep up til around 3rd gear. Then you can forget it. 3rd in the Speed3 is money.

You're also gonna have to have a killer launch.

I like the wheels on your car, and the wheels on "David's" as wheel, are they BBS LM's? What kind of a suspension setup does your car have?

Yeah, we're thinking of eventually getting one with a bigger core or maybe going with a front mount intercooler.
