Speedriven you guys Rock!!!

Just wanted to post a thread about my experience with Speedriven yesterday. I had been in contact with Aleks over the past few weeks about a pulley install/ecu tune, tcu tune, heat exchanger, updated Bosch i/c pump, split system, TTM scoops, and colder plugs/wires all being installed. He recommeded the EVOtech 178mm for the pulley. He ordered it from Germany and it was here in about a week. I drove down yesterday from Wisconsin to their shop in Palatine IL. I didn't have another driver to get back home so had to wait down there to get it down, which Aleks assured me they could do. He actually drove me himself down to the local mall for something to do while they got started on it!!! I can't speak highly enough of the customer service down there. Got back from the mall a few hours later and car was still being worked on. Aleks took me around the shop and showed me all the COOL projects they got going on down there. BTW the whipple looks like it's gonna be kick ***!!! It was crazy hot yesterday, like 102 in their shop. Those guys worked on the car all day long in they heat and they did an absolute beautiful job on the car. The Evotech pulley spins true, no wobble!! I'm confident I will not have any issues with it. The heat exchanger install looks beautiful, and Marcin did a great job with the fabbed resovoir for the split system. He was extremely knowledgeable and did an EXCELLENT job on everything. I would recommend these guys to anyone in the area. Car pull like a F****N freight train right now and I LOVE it!!! He also lowered the car 1" through star and it looks great!! Also right before I left, got in the car and noticed I had a side marker light out. Now it's about 8:30 at night and the guys are getting ready to go home. I go into the shop and tell Aleks about it. No problem, they change it out right away, free of charge, and send me on my way. Thanks to the guys down at Speedriven for the amazing work and overall just a perfect experience yesterday!!! I will definitely be using them for all my future mods!! Heres a couple pics of the lowering and installed parts!!!

awesome!! I really need to do a pulley but since they released the info on the whipple I am waiting to see what kind of power they get out of it. What was the cost to get all of the work done and tuned? I am having a really hard time driving this car stock with everything else I won fully built lol

Send Alex a PM, I'm sure he'll give you a great deal!! Some of the parts that I got were sourced outside of them so hard to give you an exact price. He has a thread on here with his 55K kits to get an idea of price

That's no joke! I took this pic about a mile from the speedriven shop and yes, it's accurate. Once you meet the team over at speedriven you realize that quality comes first. Enjoy the new power and if you think its fast now, just wait untill the temps drop into the 60's.

Not surprised about the CS. Aleks helped me with my STAR lowering (amongst other things) and took time out of his day to talk my tech through it. He got paid $0 for it and was happy to do it. This was before his new venture of course but it speaks on the character of the man. A+ in my book. This was when I was a newb with less than 100 of my own miles on the beast. As far as I'm concerned, if his people are anything like him, they are a great group to work with!

Didn't want to start another thread, so I'll tag onto this one. I had the FTP heat exchanger and updated Bosch 10 pump installed this past week and the service was exceptional. The IC was a direct replacement so there weren't any issues, but the FTP heat exchanger was creating its infamous lower lip bulge (Props to Steve at FTP though for helping to identify ways to minimize the visual defect). I could tell that Speedriven had tried to identify ways to reduce the lower lip bulge and had provided me with a few options for the future. Marcin and Aleks at Speedriven, awesome service and great prices!
