Happy new year everyone from us at the speed syndicate!
This is the first DTP autoshow in vancouver in 2 years. Even though it rained throughout the event, the turnout was decent. Erica David(Youtube Star) and Victor Kim(Quest Crew on ABDC) were in attendance as well as DJ Sophie Sugar(Armada DJ). The Speed Syndicate won 1st Place Mercedes Benz with Quinton’s S55 as well as 1st place Toyota/Lexus with Curtis’ AE86. Our almost finished The BlackMarkers S2000 also won 3rd place Honda/Acura. Congrats guys! Here are some pictures courtesy of our good friend Vince.

EVO VS STI
This Turbo is probably my favorite Porsche in Vancouver
The customer with this Quattroporte ordered a Larani exhaust a couple weeks ago but found it still wasn’t loud enough for his liking.
Therefore decided he wanted to get an X-pipe to even out exhaust flow between both banks. T304 Stainless Steel was used for piping and all the welds were TiG Welded together,
The following are some pics I took with my blackberry, i apologize for the bad picture quality.
Pipes cut and welded together
Ground the insides nicely for smooth exhaust delivery
All welded up and ready to go
Pipes changed color after heat was applyed
Looking coool. With the clamps we used we can swap to stock anytime.
Here is a vid of what the car sounded stock.
Here is a vid of it with no exhaust.

Hey guys,
We really appreciate your loyal business since we have opened. It’s exciting to help all of you with your vehicle needs and seeing the look of satisfaction when you leave the building. Just like a great movie, we tell all of our friends and family to go see it! I’m sure most of you are recommending us just like that great movie. To make word of mouth referring even easier, we have made a form so when your friend of family receives the email they’ll be able to click on our website right away to see what we have to offer. Thanks again guys, you are awesome customers!
When it comes to you owners who want to run low offset wheels and “flush” out your wheels to your vehicles body, modifications have to made to the fender to create the look that you want! There are a few different methods that you can chose to create the look that you want. You can roll it, shave it, grind it, or flare it. Depending on your vehicle, The Speed Syndicate can do either.
What we don’t recommend is using your old baseball bat or pipe you found under your sink and jamming it in between your tire and fender. Results could be horrendous causing you more expense that we at The Speed Syndicate would have charged. So if that’s warning enough for your wheel flushing mission, contact us for a quote.
Here is a video we took of the S55 on Friday the 7th, 2010.
It ran 12.06 @117.46 the first run and 12.01@117.48 the second time.
We recently upgraded one of our customer’s brakes for his 350Z.
From this.
To this.
And yes we told him that he needed to wash his car.
Here is some general info regarding big brake kits taken from the StopTech website.
General Benefits of Big Brake Kits
Big Brake Kits give your vehicle that Supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in two areas. First, larger rotors increase heat capacity. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance.
The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock front to rear brake torque ratio. If the brake upgrade you select adds too much front torque (as many do), you reduce your car’s ability to utilize the tractive capacity of all of the tires to the maximum practical extent (even on ABS equipped cars) and you therefore create performance sacrifices. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, which limits a driver’s control of brake input on the race track.
Advantages of StopTech over other brake upgrades:
Feature Benefit Summary:
OE Tuning is a new company in the States led by an world reowned ECU tuner.
Having worked with him in the past, we are delighted to be working with him and his new company once again.
We can now flash almost every european vehicle to give incredible gains in horsepower, torque, and fuel economy.
Not only does flashing your ECU give you power and better fuel mileage, it also will quicken acceleration with much noticeable throttle response.
Just recently we had the opportunity to witness gains on the new BMW X5 M. The vehicle was dynoed on a dyno dynamics 4 wheel an gained 90 Wheel torque and 80 Wheel Horsepower!!!
Even the Mercedes Benz C63s make an average of 70-80 Wheel Horsepower gains on the same dynometer. For any more info regarding ECU flashing please contact us.
Our Italian made tire machine has taken the excuse away for using a lever with hard and sometimes dangerous physical effort while giving us and the customer, peace of mind of not damaging expensive wheels and tires including runflats. The unit’s operation is based on a completely new principle. Electronic wheel diameter selection with automatic tool positioning, wheel lifter for loading and unloading the wheel. Automatic tool head for leverless mounting/demounting. Since no metal ever touches the wheels, damage is virtually eliminated.
So be at peace when you get your tires mounted with us. We offer a service that will keep you coming back again and again. Contact us to make an appointment if you need new tires, need tires mounted, and/or unmounted. And you can always leave a comment below if you have questions.
