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

My trust PE2 cat back exhaust is now for sale - $5000. Hurry up and buy, its the last of its kind.

i will undercut emsta and offer mine for just $4000 :)

bah. i'll let mine go for $2500 and i'll even throw in an original trust exhaust gasket and some goo (used). you wont find a better deal than that

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

Group buy on bankrupt afermarket parts company?!

f**k me do we need a thread in every section of the forum on this?

srsly.

You going to post in every thread and say the same thing?

Back to the wasteland please where pointless whoring is acceptable

Thanks for putting me in my place guy, but being a mod/admin you should be ontop of these things aye?

: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!

    • Unless you have big cams, there is no reason for an RB to idle at any more than the stock 650. No, it is not 850, 950, or anything else. It is 650. In fact, it might even be 550. I just opened an arbitrary stock Neo file in Nistune, and this is what I see
    • I love the undertray, especially the flappy bit for easier access for serving I'm thinking of fabing up one at work for the MX5 while I still have access to the metal shop at work with a guillotine and press brake Whilst removing the plastic undertray on the MX5 isn't to hard, I love the idea of a 2 bolt flap as opposed to removing the whole thing 
    • Great thank you for that. Yeah that is the bumper and spoiler it still has i just hadn't heard of it being referred to as a aero form bumper before. Really appreciate your help.
    • A little progress; I took the opportunity of an oil change to take a sample for oil analysis, will be interesting to see how it was treated for its first 125,000klm (I know how it has been treated since :rofl:) I went with 5w40 and will see what that does for oil pressure at higher revs. Also fitted the Z1 front undertray....a little more sturdy than the plastic factory one (although I suspect it won't stop a tree stump ) Nicest thing about it really is the 2 bolt "service panel"....a gift to the oil changer compared to removing 14 bolts holding the factory tray.
    • I think a scissor lift is better/faster in most cases, but I guess it does obstruct access to the centre of the car? BTW I weighed the quick jack. 3.5 tonne model is 50kg for each side. So yes, portable, but not with one finger
