Funny. I took the wife to Ala Moana and what do I see, Speed Gear, hah funny. NO CLUE it was there. I missed Farid and had no idea who to talk to. Need to place the order for the TXS FMIC, Perrin Short Ram and some other things. Probably XEDE as well.

Speedgear is definitely pretty cool. Got my bov from them. They got wrx stuff, but they seem to be low or out of stock on many performance items right now.
Yeah was sorta poking around in there and didnt see a lot. Saw some seats I want tho, but those can wait for more important mods.

I agree with jas.....Speed Gear IS the place. Always able to make a deal and that's usually include tax......for me anyway.

I mostly dealt with Dylan.

So because they hold things to ship until it fills a large container, that makes them dirty?

WMR

Definately not a place I'd return to. They only take cash, that should make you suspicious. I can PM you more details if you'd like, like what WMR really stands for.

I hope you guys realize that A LOT of places will not order things each time someone orders something, especially in an isolated place as this. They just can't afford it, they try to give 'better' prices, but you end up having to wait longer.

AND since when do they only take cash??

Have they ever taken anything but cash? Not from me. Wouldn't take a check (I'm military) or a credit card. Didn't think too much about it until after I saw what I got for my dollar. Then it was too late. Really not trying to bash them, but their expertise/service had much suck. Where's My Refund?

I've always used my credit card there.
and not many places will take checks, ... If I owned a shop, I sure as hell wouldn't.

You can get almost everything you need from Speedgear, then get your engine management from Shiv.
