PRI and Pierco make "new" toys for our cars. Custom fabricated cylinder heads, four wheel disc brake conversions, etc. And you're going to pay for it.
The market is too small for a big player to mass produce the goodies specifically for the Spitfire, or probably the entire lbc market at large. Even on the Japanese car side, companies like Jackson Racing market for Honda and Toyota and Subaru, etc. They need to in order to have a large enough market base to make it work for them. For engine stuff, you've got to include the difficulties of getting CARB certified. It's hard to do, takes a long time, and is expensive. I'm not surprised Pierce chose not to do it. Companies like TRF, Vicky Brit and such do not market to the hot rodder, customizer or racer. They market to the resto folks, and the stock crowd. That's where the bread and butter is, and they quite understandably want to stay in it. It's easier, safer and more profitable. We've got Joe right here in this group that makes some of the "new stuff". Ask him how much money he's bringing in making and selling camber compensators and such. :-) I'm pretty sure he's not going to be retiring to the islands any time soon on the money he's made selling camber compensators. >>> Glenn Trunnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/10/03 08:42PM >>> "where's the new stuff?". ----------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
