Hey Guys,

I know its one of those things that may seem hard to believe because it sounds too good but it really is happening!

The new shop address is:

RE-Speed / SHQE Manufacturing
179 Exeter Road Unit J
London, Ontario N6L 1A4
Canada

I'm still finishing up a few things at the shop but hope to be fully done by the end of the week. Until then, there won't be any real business hours or anything. When everything is finalized I would like to maybe hold a meet sometime shortly after that either right here at the shop or somewhere near by with a bigger parking lot. We will most likely also wait a bit till the weather warms up so more people show up. I'll post up some pictures of the shop when I'm done.

As Billy mentioned we have been working long and hard to make this happen as seamless as possible and I hope we have achieve that. I will be doing all the welding in house now and also most of the lathe work. I would like to bring in the mill work in here, just need to find a good machine at a good price to do it with. Having all the machines and welding in house will also enable us to make custom piece for customer that are bringing their cars here to be worked on and also should reduce the 2-3 week shipping time shipping time on the built to order RE-Speed parts

Also as mentioned, new product and car type coverages will be available. Some of the biggest RX-7 parts that I'll be working on are the Rotrex Supercharger that I have already started a thread for here somewhere, and secondly a direct replacement fuel cell / tank for first gens vehicles. The plans for the tanks are to have at least 2 version (direct stock replacement with no additional baffling than stock, and a race version to give you the best on the track without hopefully cutting out on fuel in turns). To make the tanks even more exciting and customizable, interchangeable tops will be available to give you the option to run in tank or external fuel pumps and barb or AN fittings. We will try to make them meet FIA standards for the people requiring that certification, but no promises until we start developing the tanks and seeing how things will turn out. Other vehicles will include the RX8, and possibly Mazda 2 parts but that may not run under the RE-Speed name as it doesn't apply well unless we toss a rotary in there!

Me and Billy will still be in touch (Probably mostly to help me learn a bit more of the RX2 and RX3 product line as they are the ones I'm not the most familiar with having never played around with them), and have become good friends over the years and I'm sure many more years ahead from now on.

I look forward to this great new opportunity to help out more rotor heads and I hope I can maintain my standard of knowledge of our cars as high as Billy has set the bar for me.
