Probably not on the forum. I just know Speed6’s aren’t something you come across all that much. Shit, they only made them for what… 2 years.

Usually at different members places, or at different locations. It’s not a weekly thing like the bubbletea meets. There is a big one in sept 28th (out past roch) where lots of guys will be doing downpipe installs, fuel pump internals, etc etc…check out the [http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/](http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/) NY NATOR thread (theres a few WNY sections)

I have worked on my sled, cars, and truck in parking lots and other odd places when it broke and was necessary to get home lol, but I couldn’t imagine doing a motor swap in a hotel parking lot, that just sounds awful. or buying an exhaust at a meet or something and saying “HEY! lets put it on now! you know so I can have it on on the way home”

LOL I could probably swing the HPFP internals in a lot, but the downpipe would be tough! I haven’t done it yet, but most people report back that it takes a few hours!

EDIT:

I can try to see if any of the guys are free tuesdays too, would be nice to get a few more people (myself included) go to the bubbletea meet. I finally tried the place when i went to see The Millers at the AMC there…pretty tasty stuff! (I had the honeydew bubbletea i believe)

yea. place already looks much better than it did with what looks to be just some elbow grease.

a family bought it, 2 brothers moved in as far as i know. 1 bro with a couple friends upstairs, another with some friends downstairs. hence, bro chateau.

Yeah that place needed some work but was a great equity opportunity for someone willing to do the work. Nice to see people buying and making it nice!
