Default Has Thor gone bust.....??????

Guys...Has THOR gone bust.....??????
The reason i`m asking is becouse everytime i try to ring them,The bloody phone is on answer machine....I have left my details for them to return my call.....And,I may as well be waiting for the Titanic to re-float.....
I wanted to know if thay have a new supply of the speed de-limiters + kms-Mmph converters yet........PERHAPS WE NEED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE AT OTHER EXAMPLES if we are being ignored......??????

Sorry Kev, but it looks like we're floating in the same boat on this one! I've had similar problems getting through and sent an E-Mail yesterday, so I'll probably have the good news waiting for me when I get home.

I've been doing some digging and there isn't really many other options to de-limit and convert. Ward1955 posted a link to some SVA approved converters in my DSC wanted thread, but I've done some digging and unfortunately it's of the type that attaches to the speed signal wire immediately next to the gearbox, not at the dash. This isn't too good because it changes the speed signal at source, which then throws out all the functions further down the chain that require a 1:1 speed signal to work correctly (Progressive Power Steering, Active Spoiler, Cruise etc). If I'm wrong about that then please let me know.

I'll keep digging and If I find anything out i'll let you know (if you could do the same?). One option I'm going to try is to source one from a breakers. There has to be a few working converters knocking about in a knocked about J-Spec Supra!

EDIT: No there doesn't seem to be any in Scrappies - Bu**er!

I`m going to enquire at import solutions tomorrow...I`ll let you know the outcome.....
I`m going to be asking wether there`s takes its signal from the Gearbox speed signal or not......A mate has one of these fitted for 5 years and to date not had any problems whatsoever.....?????

Keep an eye on this thread mike........

I'd wait and get the Thor item if they are going to make some more.

It's better to get the right thing installed if you can rather than take a chance. I went through the same process last year and had a crappy speedo converter removed and a delimiter. Then had the Thor unit installed. (All by Martin F I might point out)
