Hello All.....

I'm back to join you all in this fun we call car modding.

Just wanted to drop a note on here to see how everyone is doing.

Also---I have started my own company called Speed Distributors Warehouse and will also be a site sponsor to be able to set up some pretty attractive deals again.

Glad to be back here and look forward to helping out where I can.

Thanks
Dean

Thanks everyone!!!

RedRider--I can get it to you for $75 shipped. they are about to raise the price on these things to $100, though.

ThinJim--funny that you say that, but no we are not associated with them. A friend of mine knew the owner and when we found that the name was available, we took it.

Are you going to be doing your own re-inforced 5AT tranny and 3.5L upgrade for the J32A2 or are you going to leave that to VR?

BTW- Great to have you back. I was lost on where to buy Comptech parts for awhile

LiQiCE,

We have closed VR for all intensive purposes--we are not going to be installing things in-house any longer. We have decided to move forward on selling parts and doing what we do best--making everyone happy with their purchases.

I have all the contacts and information on the 3.5 and the transmissions, so I will still be able to offer then for those that are interested. I will get all of the information and pricing together and post it up again for everyone.

Chaptorial,

Thank you! BTW--if you haven't heard, your S/C is supposed to ship tomorrow. Comptech was finishing boxing everything from what I understand.

Dean who??? j/k

I'd suggest that you reconsider Dean. He's taken good care of me on the Rotora BBK, rotors, pads, and steel braided lines that I installed this past weekend. I've already ordered my Comptech SC from him and my Mugen cooling mod parts. Dean has always been good to work with and has great solid info on our cars. I've done quite a bit of business with Dean over the years and will continue to do so. He knows our cars and is honest about what works and what does not.

darrinb,

No offense taken. That is why I started a new company---to start over fresh and correct all the problems that VR was having over the last 6-9 months. Those are a thing of the past and I can assure you that they will not happen again......at least while I am in charge.

VeeralSOS,

Just keep an eye out....I will probably be doing a couple of things here really soon.

Dean

Glad to see you back at it! I still have you speed-dialed, but unless you can get marine electronics and parts, I probably won't be calling much.

CLASSYCLS,

Stay tuned.....I am working on Unorthodox Racing and Rotora right now.

CL SleePeR,

We are on Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando, FL.

rezurex,

Sounds good. I will have new pricing set up by mid-next week on the 3.5 and the transmissions.

Smitty,

Already told you YES on SEMA---I had this discussion today with everyone and I will definately be there. I know, I know....you have quite a few drinks coming.

rbf351,

There USED to be a money problem, but everything has been fixed and we are moving forward and starting fresh with everything. ALSO, Comptech tells us everyday that the turnaround for a S/C is 3 days------yeah right....more like 2-3 weeks STILL---and they now have all the parts in house to put the kits together. I don't know why they take so long to build these things.

ModAddict,

Glad to be back, but sorry that I don't do the boat thing for you.

juice,

Thanks....sorry about that. Think of it this way......It's only money.....you can always make more. :P

Dean

I'm just posting here cause I like the way Dean responds to each person individually... and since I will be in the market for some mods soon (if finances should carry on their merry way)... great to see the return of an official vendor.

Hey Dean, I haven't heard a return from all my messages to Jason. Glad to see everything is alright with the company! Hope to see you guys. I would appreciate it if you could make sure that I am taken care of; thanks. Can you talk to him and make sure my deal is taken care of? I'll be at SEMA in Las Vegas all week till Sunday. -Logan
