Thumbs up Good news about Comptech!!!

I called Comptech this morning and spoke with someone regarding the shut down. Actually, Comptech is NOT shutting its doors, it is merely changing hands. The people who bought Comptech actually worked there before. They will re-open under the same name, and begin producing and selling parts again within the next month or two. The same people will be producing the parts, and it will be of the same quality Competch is known for. I asked about the supercharger for the 2g TL and the person I spoke with could not disclose very much information regarding products for the new owners of the company. All she could tell me was it was very possible. SO. Everyone can stop freaking out now, its not the end of the world - or Comptech.

Made me jump on a set of headers. O well, not like I'm complaining much.

This time around, they need to make lots more Icebox's for the TLS.

The funny thing is that their web site never went down or even said anything about closing.

Hopefully they'll come back to life.
