So let's count the company/car death toll for 2010/2011, so far we have no more JDM civics, no more EVO past the X, no more ARC....anything else? J's racing president killing someone else....but I don't think they are going under?

[ShadowEP3]

let's make a pool



DIBS ON J'S RACING!

^this.

jdm fanboy stockexchange must be going crazy.

[02TWSI]

its only extremely funny because no one really makes replica ARC shit, yet they still went under....

lololol

[.colin]

instead of the usual 500 bucks people ask for intakes now, now they will be asking like 2k since you can't buy them anymore!

[sleepy ep3]

I don't know why people are celebrating this. ARC made good shit, yeah it was expensive, but good parts always are.

[civictype_r04]

gotta pay to play

To play what the K&N typhoon intake puts down better numbers then the ARC metal box does!!!!! There is a limit to "GOTTA PAY TO PLAY"!!!!!

[makavelibranded]

gotta pay to play

Not true its just an intake with a cool filter triple priced,.. and anyone can make splitter and throw a fancy logo on it, not worth it imo.

[02TWSI]

Which is why I'm poking fun, :P

[RHCP0801]

only thing i ever thought about getting from them is their shift knob

[j0000stin]

hopefully they have a blow out on winglets hahaha

[Tokin_Buds]

Dang, So I guess I should just buy the shift knob than. . since that is all I like from them.

[Siborg18]

[i_love_my_ep3!]

Not sure why you're all celebrating the bankruptcy of a company that made quality parts for imports.

I hate to see anybody go out of business. Personally even with the our crappy exchange rate to Yen now, they still seemed overpriced back in 2002-2004. Once again, I hate seeing any manufacturer that insisted continuing production in their own country than outsource their products to China/India end up going out of business. RIP ARC, you had a good run. Next time outsource your labor to Taiwan like Buddy Club.

I'm not saying they aren't overpriced, but once again our dollar is crap, BUT they have the R&D resources of Honda to make their products. I highly doubt ARC had anywhere near those resources.

Agreed. I'm not an ARC fan at all, but it was still good to see they continued production in Japan until the bitter end.

technica sports vision went bust late last year..

[T_Virus]

Hmm...does that mean both my ARC Engine/Wire covers will hold a great better value as they are now discontinued?
