Losing a great vendor: TSE :(

See Emillio's post#3: https://www.miataturbo.net/aerodynamics-119/trackspeed-engineering-still-around-100497/

My car has all of his "good stuff", crossflow radiator, manifold and downpipe as well as a handful of other products from other manufacturers he sold on his site.
The only issue I ever had was when he sent the wrong radiator hose which he rectified immediately.

Yeah, this is unfortunate, but it seemed to be coming.

Hopefully he'll sell any his greatest bits on to other distributors, such as Supermiata (aka 949 Racing). His EFR setup (manifold, dp, oil and water lines), radiator, big brake kits, etc. He really did develop some fantastic track capable parts. He also built a lot of great track capable engines, and I think worked to find the most reliable and cost effective parts to make a strong motor that could stand the abuse.

Unfortunately, IMO, he didn't really have the capacity to effectively develop and build while running the business to it's fullest. Only so much you can do as one man.

That forum has a strange obsession with cats.

I saw that. Tried to visit his website, and got a 404 error

He will be missed, but hopefully the unique products will become available elsewhere, while his 'formulas' for power and reliability are pretty well known and available through MT.net.

The site still works for me. He hasn't closed down just yet at least.

Yes you are right, my link must have been out of date.

However, the cupboard is pretty bare, not much on there at all. The party is over :frown:

What a shame. A lot of R&D went into his products, and he seemed to produce some good quality stuff. I hope they are still available from other sites like 949 as mentioned.

May not be all bad ...

Andrew has posted "Turbo bits will remain, available through dealers later in the (northern hemisphere?) summer. BBKs, radiators, and fuel pump rewire kits will remain as well."

Just a question of when, and where to find them. Hopefully that information gets posted up in due course.
