Because he's probably floating on the profits made by selling the old site. Which was only worth so much because of the content posted by it's users. So basically you all worked so that he could stay in business.

Now you know how Johnny feels.

In this economy Chris Harris' monthly profit margin is greater than the selling price of ex-HMT.  Craig got marginalized by not putting his name out here in a more competitive market - notice the drop in his forum participation over the last two years.

Then tt goes out of business a year later


You guys arent getting the point there is very little money in this field anymore. The most talented people have left and the ones left are in the gutter.

He also has tons of overhead which all it takes is 3 very slow months to be gone forever

yes but like I was saying alot of people/business are selling inventory and dont have plans on re-ordering so if you want stuff buy now


The money wasnt that great before this stuff happened now with the total collapse of the market most shops are just trying to clear out what they have and go on to something new. Its just the reality the situation.

2009 is a teaser for what is to come. There are some very large names in the Honda world who should be belly up by 2010 from the word Im hearing.


Big reason why I have been buying stock throttle bodies from all kinds of cars building fixtures etc. I know the Honda world is fucked and will soon be a thing of the past.

agreed. I still owe them $105 for the extra head gasket they shipped me. But since they wrote it off I will wait until their bankruptcy has went thru and then I will send them cash monies privately.

I loved TT, I ordered a couple hundred from a couple monthes ago. I loved TT

Sounds like a losing proposition since most Honduh folks are brokeass motherfuckers.  Myself included.

Damn, I just got an oil line setup from Steve.  I guess I am lucky to get th TT drain flange and such.

I wonder how long until Mfactory goes under.  Those fuckers have some shit that I want still.  lol.

to give you an idea.....I've considered selling my prized ZC 3-4 gearset.




I sold my zc/si transmission 6 months ago back to Shaun K on the hybrid board. Atleast it will be in good hands.

It might be coming to me........

Years away from that. gas prices are starting to sky rocket again. Round 2 is next. This was the easy part of it.


Maybe in another field besides Honda/Acura its just too flooded
