Re: Strong On Fire??

Sounds bad. It really comes down to where the fire was, strongs have a huge site out the back there, with many building etc. Be interesting to see how much of the yard is damaged. Also i doubt daves car will be there.

I hope all the people involved are fine. Does that mean the price on second hand part going to sky rocket?
Yeah, it still seems a bit surreal. We all thought it was a fire drill and then the smoke started to get thicker. Next thing you know the entire block is on fire.

Re: Strong On Fire??

The Christchurch Strongs guys are all good. They were good buggers to me in the process of tidying up the EF9. They actually have a suprising amount of stock there. I am sure they will have some sort of insurance, I don't think you could run such a business without it.

I am sure the price for K's will be getting lower in the next year or so, as they become more commonplace. Much like the price of B18CR's is dropping.

Re: Strong On Fire??

Really? The times I've used them, I've been treated like shit. So much so I actually complained one time. Once I called up asking for a part, the guy said they didn't stock it and told me to piss off, litrally Think said staff member isn't there anymore. Gutted for the Auckland Strongs tho, have had nothing but good dealings with them

I was meaning it as a figure of speech. From my experience, they are pretty rough and over priced. Complete lack of customer service skills also.

This is not going to have an effect on K series engine prices... There is still plenty out there and the are still making them.
