Wow... Carpocolips strikes again.
No mitsu or subi in rally. Loads of people drop outta f1. No more RA.

 

truly a sad day not just for evo/mitsu enthusiasts, but for all car/motorsports enthusiasts as well....

 

wtf bull**** noooooo

 

epic fail!

 

that's bad.

A very sad day indeed. It's truly unfortunate, but if the current market trends keep up this is ultimately where many prominent Japanese manufacturers very well may end up.

Yeah man, the U.S. totally SUCKS for not funneling bailout money to failing japanese companies At that, failing japanese companies that have profitable parent companies.

 

LMFAO

Maybe they should have done more in North America than just slap their badge on two Lancers.

 

I'd be lying if I said I cared.

Sure, it sucks in the sense that the name USED to mean something when Mitsu cared about rallying/racing in general, but what have they done lately? In my three years of Evo ownership/posting here, all I can recall hearing about them is a really nice/overpriced CF lip and maybe some mudflaps here and there.

 

There are parts that are cheaper, support his forum and easier to get. I don't think too many people go out of their way to get ralliart parts anyway.

 

Damn.. Well I don't have ralliart parts anyhow, just a Spirit Of Competition... But Sad day indeed.

 

with all of the real tragedies happening across the globe every second of every minute, of every hour, of every day, is this REALLY news to any of us? It's sad to see people on this thread complaining as though they have just lost a dear friend, family member, or even their jobs. There are so many people out there losing so much more, news like this, unless you are one of the many who will be laid off from Ralliart, isn't really news at all. Some people don't have the money to buy food for their families because of the economic downturn, and some of you are complaining that you won't be able to waste money buying some overpriced part with a Ralliart name on it. That's the sad part. I think the downturn hit others a little harder. You should be thanking whatever God you believe in that THIS is the worst news you've gotten all day.

 

Well, as a whole Ralliart was more focused on actual racing and manufacturer competition rather than parts. The parts were just trickle down goodies for a little extra revenue.

It's funny just how much the US economy affects the rest of the world...kinda makes you wonder if the whole thing was engineered. Hummmmmmm.

 

well, thats how the economy is right now I guess.
