The market for aftermarket parts from Japan has been declining for well over five years, due in part to decreased demand both at home and abroad and the rising rates of Chinese knock-offs and other inexpensive (and dubiously built) components.
Today, one of the world’s largest performance parts companies, known as Trust in Japan and Greddy here in the States, declared bankruptcy. According to various reports, Trust is approximately $60 million in debt and, after reporting a serious decline in sales since February 2008 and amassing $43 million in loan payments, filed for bankruptcy in Tokyo District Court.

So what’s up with The Monkey’s Trunk E-Zine? Did they throw in the towel? Did they kill the crazy looking monkey? Did they pass out from exhaustion? The answer to would have to be simply “NO!”. We are back for 2008! After a bit of time off, and a huge update to the site, we are once again hitting the streets and taking names.
We have made a couple of changes to The Monkey’s Trunk E-zine. We are not releasing 6 issues a year anymore, instead we are going down to 4 issues per year. This will drastically increase the quality of the E-Zine as well as the content. Now you ask, “But what happens on events or updates that happen in between issues?” We all know a lot happens in 3 months in the Subie community. We will be doing news/event/project car updates on our website, which was one of the big factors for going the direction we did. Will we ever do away with the PDF file E-Zine? NEVER! this is what made us what we are today.
You also may have noticed the new models section. We will be updating this section of the site as often as possible. We do ask that you register to see the model photos, but also by registering you can comment on current news, or make your opinion heard within some of the news reported.
