Internal Issues for the Vagos
After Speedy disappeared for a few weeks, the Vagos were held together by Flippy who was second in command at the time.

Upon Speedy's return, the Vagos were in a different place. Flippy wanted to leave the Vagos, after feeling the Vagos was not the same and under Speedy's dictatorship, not a democracy. This caused Flippy to leave, and Mario felt similar to Flippy, but changed his mind and decided to stay.

A week later, Pablo had the same feelings that Flippy had, and decided to leave. After Flippy left, the Vagos decided to have a blood in, blood out. Pablo informed Speedy of these feelings, and upon hearing this, Speedy stabbed '''Pablo. '''

A few days after stabbing Pablo, Speedy was informed that Pablo reportedly snitched to the cops about the Vagos. Upon hearing of this, Speedy shot and killed Pablo.

 

Leanbois
During the downfall of the Vagos, Speedy fought different wars alone. One of the gangs that he went to war with was the Leanbois. Every day, Speedy and the Leanbois would engage in a shootout with each other in the Southside. During one particular event, Speedy and the Vagos engaged in a shootout with Lang Buddha and Alabaster Slim.

The Vagos successfully gunned down Buddha and Slim; and while the two men were bleeding out in the street, the police and EMS arrived at the scene. Speedy was not comfortable with the idea of the police interfering with gang war related situations. Speedy warned the police that they should not come to the Southside in the future.

Speedy ambushed the ambulance that was carrying Buddha and Slim, and drove to the North, where he spoke to the two men. Buddha was surprised and appreciative of Speedy saving them from arrest. Buddha, Slim, and Speedy agreed that their "beef"/war was over, and opted to form a new alliance. Moving forward, the Leanbois and Vagos often worked together, and continue to have a strong alliance.

Siz Fulker
Siz Fulker is also a close affiliate of the Leanbois, and a shadow (not publicly known) member of the Vagos; acting as "Second in Command" under Speedy. Siz is the founder of the HOA, as well as the "one man gang", Tang Gang. The creation of Tang Gang (and the "tang" color) was based on combining the primary "gang color" of both the Leanbois (red) and the Vagos (yellow), as Siz is a close affiliate and connection for both groups.

By generating important income through the management of one of Speedy's "grow houses", Siz tremendously helped in rebuilding the Vagos. This "grow house" consistently produced large amounts of weed, which Speedy would distribute to the Vagos. Speedy provided Siz with 10% of each harvest, which he would then sell to the citizens of Los Santos for a hefty profit. Siz would also occasionally sell weapons to the Vagos, further supporting their activities, as recent police raids had begun to deplete the Vagos' stockpile of sub-machine guns.

Siz purchased seven bricks of cocaine from the Leanbois and Vagos at above market price, to additionally financially support them; thus strengthening their relationship further. As Siz a pusher for the cocaine business, he also sold large amounts of cocaine to the Vagos; although he no longer personally pushes cocaine (after becoming a coke connect he established his own network of pushers) he still ensures that the Vagos is supplied their allotment of cocaine. As a result of his faithful assistance to Speedy and the Vagos, he trusts Siz immensely, and likewise Siz has tremendous respect for Speedy for giving him a chance early on in his time in the city. For a long while Speedy had also given Siz access to his personal stash house in the Barrio (Siz had to later give up access to that property in order to make room on his key-chain for the original HOA HQ in Vinewood), and now regularly sells Siz and the HOA class two weapons, when requested.
