Sad story . . .Hope they pull through this after they get things set right.

Crazy to think they have such exspensive parts and need to do that . . .

I'm sure at a factory like theirs it's easy to misplace a few headers and a coilover set, that's probably all that happened.

Maybe if they get rid of their new "importers"...they're a bunch of jackasses in my opinion...leave it at that, I'm sure that you know how I feel.

so does that mean exhausts will be $800,000 for us instead of $400,000?

Hey, that's 3,796 sets of MF-10s... or 696,010 resevoir socks... or 9,093 NZ Damper sets (no springs) or 2,186 with springs.

Ok... looks like every ITR owner needs to do their part and buy some Mugen parts - pronto!

Re: Mugen in court trouble?!? (yoshi234)

Why would we buy from Spoon?

So I'll downgrade from very highly R&D'ed pieces to re-badged spoon junk?? Do they even make ANYTHING they put their name on??

Sorry, no.

So sad, I hope they make it out somehow.

And to think they might have gotten back into F1 full time someday soon...

Chris - who will be very sad also if something big and bad happens.
