    Exactly that, but people either forget that or just don't compute it in the first place.

    I think it's a shame they are going, end of an era, no ?

    Well yes ,I suppose it is but now is the time for someone or other to take on the task .
    This club would be the obvious choice
    We can buy up all the stock in the world BUT must shift it thereafter It is up to the members to support this endeavor .

    i dont see why we cant stock parts, and that looks like a good varied amount of stock. i didnt realise you could buy alot of that over the net, i thought most of it was renault only. if i had the time i would snap that lot up, it will all go eventually.

    there is no tuning goodies included so maybe they are just clearing out service items and sticking to the tuning side.

    All? Where do you get this idea that i've got loads of 11T bits? I've told you several times before, i've only got a new rev counter/boost gauge

    As sure as night follows day, it was always inevitable that BB would be pulling the plug on gtt tuning one day. Might not be that long before K-tec follows suit too.

    Still, there's always GT Tuning to fall back on...
