What a bummer! I only had the luxury of talking to Tyler once when I was thinking of the T-56 swap, and what a helpful guy, I must say. I really hate to hear this.

this is sad.. The customer service i recieved from tyler on my t56 kit was just awesome. I was hoping to get everything for my ls1 setup from ATS.. hopefully on a part time basis, you can still a few parts.

anyway, thanks for the great service..

Wow.... I'm really sad to hear that Tyler.

One thing you might want to think about....you obviously have alot of connections and have a good reputation in the industry... think about consolidating your company with another local car business. Its hard to have a car business today and taking two smaller companies and making them into one larger business with a bigger market and more products can often keep both of them afloat. Just something to think about....

That is a major drag dood I hope that you will continue to contribute to both the Lateral-G and Pro-touring.com community as you are a very valuable member. Your vision and products have given me the vision for my car and you have always been so helpful and welcoming on the phone and even in your shop!

All the best! I really hope to see you bounce back!

Unhappy

Very sad to hear, from my couple of contacts with ATS (mainly Tyler) very stand up guys, and definitely one of the pioneers of the current Pro-touring scene. Very proud to say I'm running some of their high quality pieces on my car. Hope you are not "away" too long.
regards Roger

Tyler,
That sucks!

What is next for you? Are you staying in Vegas? Will you work for Porsche?

Good luck with what ever decision you decide.

David
