Might be a good time for some to get a good deal on a cooler as it seems as though trust is filing for bankrupcy. Hopefully they don't go out of business.

The bankruptcy has been in the pipeline since September 08. The media to date is stating that this will have no effect on the international dealings of GReddy (Trust is the Japanese parent company, Greddy is the international parts arm of the company), however I don't see how this is possible. It has to have some effect, if not a devastating one. The Japan export parts market has been doing it hard for a while now & with the more recent international financial crisis, parts have increased in general by about 30%. Not sure what this means for the other performance parts exporters, although it may leave a competitive hole for players like HKS to take Trust/Greddys market share & perhaps drop their prices a little. Only time will tell. The most efficient spend would be to import a car from Japan with all these parts already fitted. Sebastian, I have a Greddy intercooler & it's been nothing short of sensational. Get your hands on one before they are gone forever !
