VizX With Some Automotive News, Japanese Tuning Giant Greddy/Trust Declares Bankruptcy!!!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I cant believe this!! One of the largest tuning companies takes a dive!! This is insane, I never thought I would see this company go down.

“The market for aftermarket parts from Japan has been declining for well over five years, due in part to decreased demand both at home and abroad and the rising rates of Chinese knock-offs and other inexpensive (and dubiously built) components.

Today, one of the world’s largest performance parts companies, known as Trust in Japan and Greddy here in the States, declared bankruptcy. According to various reports, Trust is approximately $60 million in debt and, after reporting a serious decline in sales since February 2008 and amassing $43 million in loan payments, filed for bankruptcy in Tokyo District Court.

Trust has been around since 1976, employs almost 200 workers and had been dealing in everything from CARB-legal exhausts to turbo systems when Greddy Performance Products was founded in the U.S. in 1994. There are several firms that will step up to fill the need of enthusiasts, assuming that Trust doesn’t try to reorganize, but with the aftermarket industry down overall, we suspect this won’t be the last time we’ll hear about a large tuner going under.”

 

1 word. WOW!

August 7th, And Today is The Mod Shop! Spotlight: More-Japan.com

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Today we are heading to more-japan.com to make sure that when you are hitting the apex’s on a road course that you dont move in your seat! One of the top racing seat brands in the world currently is

The product from Bride im covering is the Stradia. The Stradia is Bride’s newest and best racing seat! A hybrid combination of a full racing bucket yet for comfort its reclinable! The FRP STRADIA and GIAS are the ultimate seats available. In black outer, with black hyper fabric inner, with shorter side bolsters for easy entry and exit. NEW Andromeda backing by Maziora. It uses the LOW MAX seating system, which allows the driver sit farther back into the seat, for the best holding position.


STRADIA is similar to GIAS, with the exception that it uses shorter side bolsters, for a very comfortable ride, and ease in entering and exiting the vehicle. STRADIA is a true full bucket race seat, but it’s reclinable options offer levels of comfort standard buckets cannot allow. The frame and mounting areas are fully reinforced steel, while the FRP construction keeps the weight of this seat low. When STRADIA was recently released in Japan, it quickly sold out and is now Bride’s most successful, and most sought after seat of all time.

This is why I VizX is bringing it to you here on flytoyz, because I have found that you can get yourself one of these seats on more-japan.com priced at $1875.00 HERE

One of their suggested products is a seat rail just incase this one doesnt fit properly to yours that comes with your vehicle, to see that product stop by HERE
