Not good news for the tuning world.

That must be a p1ss take( i hope), greddy are huge, if they can go bust then every other tune house is fair game

Hm interesting: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/10/japanese-tuning-firm-trust-greddy-declares-bankruptcy/

Havent A'pexi gone bust several times? Maybe they will be the same as them....

First I've heard, I'll try to find out more today, very bad news if true.

It seems the news is true, Trust/GReddy did file for bankruptcy yesterday.

Heard about this from a reliable source last night, and it seems those with orders won't get their money back either. One local tuner we know of has lost a million yen.

Wow! amazing, who will be next? Amuse, HKS?

HKS are already in the poop.

Does that mean I could sell my 3-row for big cash then?

"Own a piece of history, no more ever going to be made!"

That's only 5 grand - sucks but it's hardly mega-money.

Does that mean I can't get an EMU through you?

Really? hmzz

Does it really matter, what do they sell that no one makes already, and generally better - maybe folk have seen sense and stopped paying their overinflated prices

I dunno - of all the bits and bobs I've bought, most have been either Greddy or HKS. The GReddy ones have all been spot on, no trouble at all. The HKS ones have almost _all_ caused major headaches.

If you were to list them all - and their prices, I'm quite confident there will be better products out there with prices to match, if not less

ECU's are a little different in terms of they are too many variables to match up

Ive got a Greddy intake manifold on order, Nic says he thinks he can still get it so i will have to wait and see what happens in the next few days, i cant think of any other intakes anywhere near the price of the Greddy intake.

surely they should have waited a few months until the new fast and furious.

Aww well..

ooo i have a rare exhaust now:D

I guess that depends on your point of view. It's nothing to the likes of Top Secret and Mine's, but to a small time tuner in an already depressed market it's a significant amount.

A lot of people have the impression all tuners in Japan have huge work shops with shelves of gleaming parts, when in reality even many of the big names work out of places that resemble a back street garage.

I always was under the impression Greddy and Apexi are the biggest. Then HKS.

Who is then? Top Secret? I always thought they'd be the smallest.

when i visited japan the biggest garage was trial spirit and this was just the size of a typical large UK KWICK FIT STLYE WAREHOUSE WITH RAMPS AND SHOP.

The worrying thing is that the decline in their sales is partly due to 'cheap chinese knock offs'. We know how dangerous these are and yet ebay is full of £80 tubular manifolds that punters are willing to try as they are so cheap.

Didn't think greddy\trust were that expensive either, think of their intake, the Greddy LS intercooler kit was well priced for a full kit and half decent core, the EMU wasn't too bad for those that preferred not to pay £1k+ for engine management etc.

Any 3 or 4 rows going cheap?
