Unhappy Comptech Closing!!

i saw it in the other forums and just knew you cl guys would be obliged to know that comptech is closing shop. they've sited low profits, among other things. you can call them yourselfs and you'll hear the same thing ... however, you won't be able to get through as they have been inundated with calls from dealerships, vendors, and customers. a sad day for honda heads.

I guess that's what happens when you make products for a niche consumer group. plus their shit was expensive as fuck.

Remember, some offsite part sellers will still be carrying Comptechs products until they are all gone. Unless Comptech CEO decides he wants everything gone immediately.

Shit I might have to buy something if it comes to mind when their super sale goes on.

Went through the same thing with the various nitch SHO parts companies going outta business. Don't think I ever saw a sale from them. Hope to see one here but I'm not holding my breath. Lots of these kinda things are made to order or made in small production runs so even if they did have some kinda clearance sale you'd see like 5 units at a nice price and everyone would be SOL.

I was in contact with a guy from RedShift towards the end of last year and they were supposed to email me about using my CLS-6 as a test car. I haven't heard from them since I would like to see what they can do, but I haven't had the time to keep calling them. Maybe they found somone else's car

by the way, here's their site:

Some people over on the 3g TL boards have called Comptech and have confirmed it, they are going out of buisness.

You own the shop or have stocks with Redshift??? you keep pushing their name


last time I checked, they only manufactured turbos and exhaust, and resold other other performance parts that they did not design themselves

Wow, That's nuts, but then again the place charges 2-4 times what it costs them to make their products.
The CL is dead, the RSX is dead, the TL can't use headers, The RL is a low seller, only a small amount of TL buyers mod their cars.
I don't see how they stayed in business this far.

Wow. That sucks. Other companies make parts for Hondas and Acuras, but Comptech makes a better quality part.

they will probably get bought out. But really, all you guys will be missing is the SC, everything else is replaceable by another brand, springs, exhasut, headers, etc. No biggy. On a side note, their service and attitude was kinda shady lately, from what I've heard.

I couldn't have said it better.


Meh, life goes on.

I won't be surprised if left-over S/C'ers laying around go for a few bucks more once they close the doors. Kind of a sought after sorta thing.

But those of us who are S/C should try to get service kits if they are available. I know these things need to be rebuilt around 70k or 80k miles.
