Doubt they will stop producing parts, business will continue.

cmon Lamborghini went bust many times but kept being bought by other people/companies and happend to produce the diablo which was French if i remember correctly. Lambo is now bought by Audi which is owned by VW

Aston martin; bought by ford i think.

Maserati went bust and bought by ferrari which threw out the mc12

TVR is not british anymore, its russian

Landrover is furkn Indian

Good point but there is a very large difference....trust doesn't make cars they make them better, you don't really see aftermarket manufactures buying out other aftermarket manufactures too often

But just to clear things up (not to sound cocky, just FYI really)

1993 Maserati was bought by Fiat 1995 50% sold to Ferrari (which 90% is owned by Fiat, Enzo's sun still owns 10 last i checked) 1997 (I think) Ferrari obtained full control of Maserati, few years ago Fiat took over Maserati again

I totally disagree.

The examples you use are people making cars.

Trust do not make cars. Apples and Oranges your comparing.

The issue here is Parts & all associated.

Where you can copy parts, which is where Trusts business lies. As such all the cheap sh|t coming outta China is destroying the market.

All the copy parts coming out @ 1/3 the price (or less in some cases) due to the fact they are copied, and often poorly done at that.

Trust do all the design/Dev etc (which costs BIG money) and then some muppet comes along and does the ole copy-copy for nothing.

Performance products no longer fetch the prices they used too for companies like this… or if they do. They are selling nowhere near the volume they would back in the 90's and early 2000.

Also (as a mate just pointed out to me) think about the Jap Market... Silvias/Supra - not in production, GTR's - only just started and so on.

So hat cars are they going to make new/innovative parts for to keep business alive? :(

Lot more to it than examples of car manufacturers im afraid

Funny thing too to think about, if these companies stop making stuff, then China wont have anything to copy in the automotive parts :P

:P

I think a better observation would be to dig up all the threads of people complaining how their cheap Chinese copy doesn't fit properly and needed $XXX to fix/fit

Thanks for the head up dude, always appreciate clarification of info! :)

On another note though, amazing how many car manufaturers are sleeping around with eachother all the time ey! Like when you step into some aston martins and you find volvo parts lolz or audi parts in some lamborghinis

Pretty soon we will have the McHolden or the KFcitroen lolz

at least the bugatti veyron aint owned by volkswagon......oh wait

thats like Osama Bin Laden funding the democrats......Obama Bin Laden!

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
