What are you plans in regards to expanding more to the FC lineup ?
I haven't decided too much yet on that. I plan on going through the second gen section, reading up on what seems to be needed and we'll come up with a plan for that when the time comes.

Congrats.

I am very interested in the coilovers. This is perfect timing and so close to home (Guelph)

Let us know when you are up and running as I would love to take a run out to London to grab some parts.

Are you going to be doing some installs as well?

Looking for someone to install the coilovers as well!

PM me when you are ready

Installation will be shortly available. I should have a hoist by the end of the month hopefully.

Congrats Sam. I'll have to come see you once I get the 7 reassembled!

If you throw up a meet in the spring I just might come out in the Mazda6 for the heck of it since my 7's not going to be ready any time soon.

I see many paycheques going to ReSpeed upgrades in my future. That steering rack swap is quite possibly the best thing I've ever done to my car. The coilovers and big brake kit upgrades are SO tempting, I can't wait to see what you come up with to expand on an already awesome product line.

Jon

Congrats and good luck.

Sounds like the supercharger will definitely be an RE-Speed product? If so, then that must mean you have dyno number! Enquiring minds want to know. Or I guess I could just call and ask John who was on his dyno lately, but he probably won't talk to me.

We'll keep it in the back of our heads, but there are more things that are a bit more different that we would like to start off with.
But I want to buy canadian! lol Send the design off to china and you can sell them for $100 and still make 90% profit lol

Good luck Sam. It's great to see some support for Canadian manufacturers.

If you need to sub out any machining of plastic parts, let me know I've got full CNC capabilities in my shop.

Group buys will have to wait till I'm more settled in so I'm not overwhelmed with stuff to do. At the price being pretty much 1 to 1 for the US to CA right now, no need to change anything.

The trick for us is to expect to pay more, then be pleasantly surprised when it's less because the US buck is in the *******.

Good to hear Sam. I had talked to Billy a few months ago about the 5 lug hub and turbo II brake set up he has on his repu and i'm guessing that you be making those now here in canada. Will the web site be changing at all. How will payments be made to you.
