    Shame. Hardly surprising though in this day and age.

    Very unsurprising to me as well, their stuff was IMO hugely overpriced irrespective of any condition or finish. A shame though, but I suppose one less brand to be copied now lol

    They are into the Japanese equivalent of Administration, not bust!
    Many companies recover from that stage, it's a form of restructuring that can either be successful or not.

    Their products cannot be got through Nengun. I have their induction box, and I need a new filter element.

    Their products were very well built, but as a lot of people have already mentioned, a tad on the expensive side.

    I used to have an ARC top mount intercooler for my old Starlet. That was a nice piece of kit, and ended up selling it to make £100 profit Ah the bonuses of rare parts lol
