Bye-bye Heavy Throttle :/

Unfortunately, due to ~80% reduction in sales (probably from a lot of little bitches buying Chinese parts), they are going out of business.

Stop buying cheap Chinese SHIT!

I just purchased a set of Circuit Sport turbo line from them last month, even though they were out of stock. Jeff asked me if I needed it fast, which I said I did. He then gave me the option of canceling the order so I could purchase it from somewhere else that had it in stock, but I wanted to keep the order with them, because I've already placed my order with them and I wanted them to have the business.

Jeff and the gang are good guys definitely!

Helped the community along since the early days when the 240/SR movement blew up.

You guys will be missed!!

Edit - where did you see that they're closing? It's not on their site?

More and more of the official companies are going under....Soon we will only be left with knockoffs that dont give a shit about the car enthusiast but instead, trying to create cheap shit for a quick buck....

Heavy Throttle dosn't manufacture anything. They only resell other company's products and i guess they do labor stuff too. Other online stores such as Enjuku just simply out did them because they advertised.

Well, they were the first group of guys to come out with the "heater hose kit" for the SRs, as well as the AIV plug.

I think they were also the first guys to have the proper Gates belts for the SRs, before the OEM Nissan belts were near attainable at a reasonable price here.

So yes, they did in a sense "make some stuff", even though it was more like they made it happen more than anything.

They could have easily made money doing swap harnesses instead of laying out the info for everybody to have access to.
yea, i used their guide as well. one of the original pioneers of the community.

HT was the OG's of the sr swaps, I think my first sr swap was using their online guide, but they are pretty much just a store and when the prices are cheaper somewhere else, well... Plus a lot of noobs aren't going to know about you if your not advertising.

Well I know this because I ordered a Greddy IM from them, and they were backordered, and in the process (Jeff doesn't have it yet), this all happened.

I canceled my order, and it looks like the only way I can get my money back is to take it up with my bank/credit card.

Sucks for both parties involved.

That is seriously shitty news. I've had work down by their shop and it was top notch stuff. They rewired an engine harness for me and the thing looked brand new.

LAME!

I was planning on calling them today about a motor!

After I saw this I called them right away, sure enough, I got the sad voicemail message saying they're closed.

Kinda figured engine swaps sales would probably be drying up now though. Half the 240's already have swaps and the scene doesnt seem to be as big as it was before.

The first SR swap I did, back in 2003, was bought from them. I can still say today that was one of the cleanest motor sets I have ever seen. I wish it wasn't so.

Yeah definitely OG in the game

The thing you guys gotta remember is that most shops have a short shelf life, usually maybe 2-3 years, maybe less sometimes

So for Heavy Throttle to be in business this long definitely speaks volumes for their reputation

This industry is highly competitive, with very low margins, and isn't necessarily the money pot that a lot of consumers assume it to be...then throw in a suffering U.S economy...not easy

Agreed. With some many hack shops springing up over night, cutting corners, doing shitty work, or importing trashed engines the big places suffer because no one wants to pay for quality parts and service. These kids don't see paying an extra $500-1000 for work that's reliable, then cry when it breaks down and no one is around to fix it for them. HT stood behind their work for years when they didn't even need to, the work was that good. Blame the newcomers, they're the ones demanding cheap and easy solutions because they can't afford anything better.
No one is willing to pay for quality anymore, it's all about how much they can afford on this week's allowance and still be able to buy video games.
