Some sad news;

Mike (longassname) at ECU Tune has closed his business.
He was always great to deal with and his products always worked (if installed properly).
We as a community have lost some great people over the years.

I guess you don't know what you've got untill it's gone.

That's terrible. I hope it's not health related. The rest is just money.

It is not health related.
Thank you for your concern.

Re: Some sad news;

For whatever reason Mike decided that it was not worth it anymore.
I have said in the past that WE as a comunity have to support the people who benifit us, or TRY to benifit us.
Young Tom closed the doors at AllWe'llDrive.
He might be the best SVX mechanic ever! (at least in the top two):eek:
Mychailo developed suspension parts (and other things) that were easy to install and made a difference.
There are others who have have/had a passion for the SVX who bring forth ideas if not products to help us go forward.


We still have some people truely devoted to saving/improving the SVX,
Dayle at Motorsports for example, Nate1986, (yes a slacker but still)
We can no longer buy Koni's.
We can no longer afford to buy PWR radiators. ($900.00?!?!)
Porter is gone, Trevor is gone.
Next time you need an alternator how about call Christian at Maniac Motors...
My suggestion is to find someone who can keep these cars on the road and make them better of learn how to do it yourself.

PS, Thank God for the Aussies!
