I am ecstatic to announce that I have officially joined this great group by purchasing a fine vintage speedster. My speedster arrived from Southern California yesterday and the picture below is my family inspecting it. The car looks brand new and the previous owner only put 3,300 miles on it! I drove if for an hour last night and was a dream come true. Now I have a list of this I want to do to it, the nightmare part for my wife, but I enjoy the slow updates and improvement. Today I am getting some new tires 185/65/15 for it came with VS 165s and it rolls a little to much for my liking. I also want to update the exhaust and maybe the dual carbs. Let me know if anyone has purchased custom exhausts in the Folsom area for I have seen some great examples on this forum but not sure what muffler shop to go to. As well as I would like to know of a good performance/repair shop around Folsom or Cameron Park area in Northern California. I look forward to the comments and suggestions! Just for laughs, I go down to the garage every 30 mins or so to take a peak at her!

Congrats, Trevor!

Now the real madness begins...carbs, tires, wheels...more performance? Better suspension? 5 SPEED?

 

I'm in Grass Valley. There's a couple good mechanics in Auburn: Ray Valero of Valero's performance and my good friend, Tony Merjano. Tony has taught me a lot (and helped me spend lots of money!). You've got one of the premier transmission builders in El Dorado Hills, Ken Porter of Porter's Precision.

 

Other than Internet purchasing, there's BugFormance in Sacramento.

 

Most guys here usually go with an A-1 exhaust system (Tony Merjano is a dealer for them). Need oil? Brad Penn is what you want. Yep, Tony can supply that as well.

 

Check out the Events Forum as there is a drive coming up in September, the third annual Tour d'Hoe!

 

Need anything else speedster-related, feel free to drop me an email: tpnuckels AT aol.com.

Congrats on the car Trevor, and I know the car well !!! It belonged to my son in Southern Ca.and the car was indeed in pristine condition.

He took real good care of it and I'm sure you will too!!!

Its nice to get something once and a while that really makes us feel good about a purchase,when we don't have the chance to see the item up close. In this case you made out !!!I'm sure you and your family will enjoy the little car ,and have fun in it !  Be careful, and be safe in it !!!   Dan's dad  (Sea-B-Stu ) My plate!!!!
