Default Speed Secrets site

I am sure I will get in trouble for this thread but I wanted to let everyone who has linked the site in their sig know that I took the temporary site down and there is a new page for the Speed Secrets website. You may link either speedsecretsefi.com or ssefi.com and it will send you to the proper page.

After I get my hand slapped you can probably pm Ellis or me for the link.

How are you posting a website of a non sponsor? Seems unfair to the other sponsors.

Ok, I just have not had everyone's SS mod list or picts so not everyone got listed. PM me and I will make modifications to the site, but only what was done by SS.

As for posting a website of a non-sponsor, I am not posting it. There is no link. How can we all link our own car's site in our sig? Do we all pay for those links? Maybe you should just relax a little. As I said in the very first post this thread is just to let those who linked Speed Secrets in their sig to update their link so it does not go to a non-existant page.

This is just my 2 cents and it may not be worth anything, but I think the site should be dedicated to sevices! For example, things that Ellis can provide as a sponsor (Parts like N2O, Heads, etc.), parts listings you can click and order from him, service he can provide (which you already did ). And a nice picture list of all the cars he has worked on..........Similar to what MTI, LGM, Texas Speed and Performance, Turbo Tech kinda do! I Will be willing to post all my mods and all necessary pics to help Ellis out. If a high powered website were built for him, his business could be shown to others more easily and spread to other NW states who have shitty LSX shops or worse.........no LSX shops! I can speak only for myself when I say, that I would prefer to purchase parts locally, however I don't know of any local shops other than Ellis. And the website will give me a tool to show and spread the word of Ellis at the base. Lots of GI's come and go around here.


I hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes...........This is a very nice site, but I had to throw some cunstructive criticism out there!

I welcome all ideas. It was just something I did on my free time (which really was not much). And like I said, pm me any picts and mods Ellis has done for you. As for the products page, I have to wait for Ellis to pull a few more irons out of the fire before I upload that one, but it is forthcoming. (... I hope I didn't let any cats out of the bag, Ellis.)

yeah......your right! I would imagine he would need some time to get his ducks in a row. I will wash my car and take some clean pics as soon as I can with a list of all mods. The work you did is great, I could only imagine what you could produce given your dedication, serious planning, and time!

Steph you got some talent too............

Thanks. I only wish I could find some way to use it to pay the bills. I could quit my crappy day-night-evening-60-plus-hour-per-week-low-paying-job and be getting paid for doing what I enjoy doing. My luck is that I do a site for someone and they quickly proceed to not pay. But it is usually for friends using the site to pay their own bills so I don't take it down. That has happened to me more than once now and I am dealing with another friend (no one on this site) who is trying my patience. Maybe I am just too soft-hearted to be a real business man.

Check out my sig, a Speed Secrets direct link. Watch for Sponsor status in Ellis's title. You guys need to get a vette pic in there, maybe Jon's car (00vette).

Like Robert said, Ellis should be a sponsor soon. I didn't know when it was going to happen, so I didn't mention it. There is another local sponsor Jon, PFYC. He handles a lot of parts, but I don't then he wrenches on cars. Check out his link --------------->

It's hard to get a business up & running, but all of us benefit from having Ellis around! I would not be doing what I am were it not for him. And even if he's not working on your car, you are gaining valuable info by reading what he's doing to other cars.
