Take care Chuck. I bought alot from you over the years, and you were a great vendor with top notch products. I can see why you are leaving though, it's probably hard to make a living making parts for cars in the US that are at least 11 years old :(

Assuming that the reason is the dwindeling RX-7 market (which may or may not be the cause), perhaps one solution would be expanding the shop to some more cars. This might be an idea for the next person heading operations.

An FD specialty shop can only sell a finite number of front bumpers, vmounts, toe links etc. There are only so many FDs around (we'll soon find that out thanks to uscmatt), and that number continues to shrink due to the idiot kids that buy them and promptly crash them. Some may be resurrected, but those aftermarket parts are still on the car. They may get taken off and sold, but they have to installed on an FD somewhere. Bottom line, the FD aftermarket parts market is definitely drying up. It makes sense, it's been 11 years since the last new FD rolled off the assembly line...... |
Maybe he will be back after the 3rd movie and the RX7 is revived again

That's sad to hear. I've bought a few things from them and the quality is top tier. I better put in a order for a few more parts in case the unthinkable happens.

Best of luck with whatever comes next Chuck :) Had the monster v-mount on for a few weeks now, it's nice to see positive boost at 2k rpm (last time I saw that the car was sequential) don't know if I'll get a chance to dyno it before you move on but the butt dyno indicates a noticeable improvement on the Greddy SMIC I had before. A pleasure to deal with, if only the same could be said of Paypal and Bax ;)

All the stuff shipped by freight can be tracked either by phone or online and they are insured. Why wouldn't us insure it since you are paying for it and paying to the freight company directly? :dunno: Anyway, I can't satsify 100% of the customers out there even though I am trying. If you did purchase one and you weren't happy, I am sorry aobut it. Chuck Sorry to hear Chuck If I had known I would have ordered more.. Don FD will be running soon. |
I never got my royalty check for using my FD on the site. JFWY.
Chuck makes great products. Sad to see him go. |
