And HKS is the next to go.

*******

^^^that says p*u*ss*i*e*s

They were overpriced products anyway

no real loss. They stopped being the company they used to be a long time ago.

Sad to see yet another Japanese company go under (In USA that is)

Aww man... now where will all the turbocharged rsx/honduh ricers get their super loud blow off valves? :stirthepot:

On a serious note.. the fact that the US dollar has "substantially weakened" is a gross understatement.

Some peeps are probably gonna lose there jobs, that sucks. But yea I have never owned or even come close to buying any of there products.

I thought they were overpriced

Too many knock offs of their products didn't help them either I'm sure.

I had a lot of there products in the 90's. In the last decade, I haven't seen much i would use.

Rep added. Some people just dont wanna listen, the general public are stewpid.

^^^^^Yup, its really scary.

that's too bad for HKS USA. gotta play with the times if you want to win. they kept making stubborn products not suited for the US economy.

not that im saying they should build cheepo crap like the rest of asia, they should have gone into OEM aftermarket for domestic-built sporty cars for bread and butter. consumer aftermarket bits for fun.

not sure wat they were expecting. seems a lot of j-companies are now suffering the bubble-bursted generation in management level (45-50yrs old) with no vision. i see this everyday and pisses me off. :mad:
