2013 Beck Speedster with Raby built Subaru EJ25

Damn, I'm about $46,000 shy of being able to buy it.

Danny and ( I drove) went for a cruise in this speedster .....runs like the wind and handles like it's on a rail ~

Ditto, Drove it last year in Florida.  If your in the Market this one rocks!!!  Looks better in person too.  The original owner used to be one cool dude, now he's just an upper middle aged guy chasing snow bunnies somewhere in Colorado, LOL.  

This car inspired me to go Suby this winter.

No doubt the build process is more complicated but the reward is great. 

Tom allowed me to drive his car when I went to Carey's shop for a visit.  Beautiful car and VERY fast.  Much faster than my VW/Audi 2.0 watercooled IM.  If you want a speedy speedy here it is.

Excuse me Mr. Grzynkowicz .... aged guy ???? chasing snow bunnies ??  just glad Jami doesn't read this site or she would have me write off Colorado today .   As the original owner with no skin in the game ... I can attest that  this car is as much fun, as quick and as reliable as any you will find in the replica speedster world.. I sorely miss the car.  If there are any questions i will be more than happy to answer them ....  on this thread or you can PM me.

Tom I'll be in Florida in few weeks, Sandy's B-day.  Maybe you, me and Rich Drewek can all meet up?

Yes.  Tom's car is a sweety...

 

Marty ... for sure .... if you don't mind hanging out with us "old folks"

Just curious, Beck makes a car that is, I think, comparable to an IM.  Why don't they include roll up windows in their vehicles, or at least offer them as an option?

Is it because there isn't the demand or they're too expensive to install?

I would think they would be a desirable option.

This is as good as it gets.  I saw Tom's car at Carlisle and in Miami 2 yeras ago---as sweet as they come.  The engine is sensational with the sweetest exhaust note I ever heard.

 

Someone is going to score the ride of a lifetime.

 

We are agonizing retiring in NC and plan to take our VS with us---I couldn't imagine being without it.  The 3 car car garage we need will be a rick to pull off

but that's a requirement.

 

We miss you being active on the SPC, Tom---hope that Colorado is agreeing with you and Jami!

Beck offers a convertible D with roll up windows. Like Porche, they realized that this is much easier to do with the cab windshield.

IM tacks on a rubber strip to the Speedster windshield. It works, but you're stuck with that rubber strip all the time.

I have no interest in doing roll ups in the Speedster.  Just not my cup of tea...

If someone wants a role up window Beck they can now get the Beck Conv D.  The biggest difference I see between the Beck and the IM is the suspension.  IMs for the most part are Porsche 914 torsion bars in front a VW IRS rear.  Becks are VW torsion bar front and VW swing axle rear.

I bet there would be a lot of interest that might result in you being able to retire a year early...like I just did :~)

not trying to hijack thread

 

but here is an example of a SAS speedster with power roll up window

Window curtains are pretty original looking, but give me roll up windows anytime.. "Darling I love you but give me Park Avenue. " green acres

I wonder how many Speedsters SAS has delivered with those windows??

 

Since the last car he delivered was about 2 or 3 years ago I'd say none.  And if you ask how many more will be delivered with those I'd probably say none.

Tom, I'll take that rubber strip any day, because it gives me a dry, warm Speedster. And there is more to the IM Speedster window set up than just a rubber strip on the windshield.

 

Henry's idea for roll up windows in Speedsters really does work, and that rubber strip that I am 'stuck with' is nothing compared to getting drenched every time it rains...

 

Phil:  I think there are a few more differences; hence, the difference in cost.

 

Marty/Tom R/Rich,
From 11-13 to 11-15 are the Classic Car Races at Daytona Speedway.
Would any of you guys be interested in attending?
I know Rich has a busy schedule, but....

We'll be there (Chuck, Dad, Randy and me).  Since our GTS has been accepted into vintage racing we run several of the vintage circuits and will be running in the Classic 24 hr in Group F.

Yes ..... I want to try and make that. will you be there every day?   How/where could we get together.   

Carey, I hope we get to see there.   I'll be in touch

 to get back on track for this thread ....

 I would suggest you choose the red one ..... Many times more fun than the blue one

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carey,

Sorry for subject thrift.

You just gave me the 100% motivation to attend and be present for the Class F time periods.

 

Does anyone know how to move this HRS Classic 24 Race conversation to another Thread?

Perhaps under Event?  Or do we just start a new Thread under Event?  Thank you.

"for someone who will not be receiving that bonus." YOU'RE FIRED.
