Greddy/Trust may file bankruptcy

[Nismothecat]

so ive heard that Greddy/Trust are in financial trouble and may soon file bankruptcy. Apexi did this last year and HKS is not doing good either.
This is what happens when you buy a Freddy part off Ebay instead of a real Greddy part.

maybe they shouldnt have discontinued the Greddy Type-S...

I hate knockoffs ... what a shame.

 

[Nismothecat]

i cant stand cheap knock offs either. when the big companies go out of business the knockoff companies wont be able make anything either. they wont have anything to copy and they wouldnt spend the money to do R&D

 

[truredspeed3]

Yep... heard the same thing when I bought my Profec B spec2. s**** whack!

So, will Greddy stuff go on sale now?

I chuckled when I saw this. I have a feeling this question will be asked MANY more times.

Trust in Japan will stay. Greddy in U.S. will go, Ebay/Rota FTL!!!

ha hell no man, there s*** is going to be "rare" so the prices will go up.

 

[03.5-dc-speed]

i thought some of the prices where to high anyway! im not knocking on them but some of that knock off s*** is just as good if not better. i mainly say that for the exhaust and piping and intercoolers. just my $.02

 

[thaikim]

Yeah I already ranted in the thread posted in the Auto news section, I would really hate to see a collapse in the tuning industry... Bottom line: Stop buying sh*t parts!!

 

[nvmsp]

Maybe, but I doubt it.

lol i don't really give a fck about greddy, I always thought all their s*** was expensive.

And no I dont use ebay for performance parts, but there are other companies out there. Stop crying. Move on.

All the fanbois with Greddy stickers are going to have a hard time

 

[numbnuts22715]

As a consumer we have the rights to find parts for as cheap as possible, now if i even wanted to get say a bov why in the world would i spend 250+ dollars on a greddy part where I can buy a bov from ebay for say 30 bucks that are exactly the same. Its like spending 100 bucks on a shirt where i could find the same design at target for 15 bucks...but anyway I would never buy a greddy part to begin with. just my .02

they're not necessarily the same.
the diaphraham on the inside could be bad and tear apart or leak or whatever else.
And some people want name brand parts. The greddy type s was amazing.

And I thought Trust was Japan's branch of Greddy, I thought greddy was like an american name.

It's not only about Greddy, it's every co. from Japan and US....................

Btw, Greddy has some of the more inexpensive products out there.....including here in Japan....

You gotta admit though, their turbo kits are a joke. They cost as much as a full-race kit.

EDIT: Nevermind, I take that back haha. Full-race is a little expensive, but you get my point. With the Greddy kit, you definitely don't get what you pay for.

Also, I've owned some Greddy stuff. The type s valve was great. The RS is the complete opposite of great. I had so many problems with that POS.

yea for the honda community their turbo kits are not on par with the full race and love fab stuff but for being around the time they were when nobody was making turbo kits for the hondas and we were taking cx and hf model exhaust manifolds and welding a t25 flange on it. their turbo kits were never big power makers but were def better than not having one. oh and i think a few of the greddy kits were legal which the full race ones are not. if you want to go fast then i would go full race but for the daily driver in california where they check your stuff the greddy was decent.

yea i loved my type s and never really heard good stuff about the rs.
