A couple of calls, pms etc the past week or so asking "are you going to have any **** sales soon?" The pat answer to that is 'no'. The reason for it is very simple: TCE sells at some of the lowest prices on the web today and those options are available to you 24/7. If you don't believe that please check our 4X kit listings today and see what TCE has to offer.
That being said I'm up for a test.
There's significant banter among the vendors at this time regarding the value of marketing on the forum today. Things change...markets change...avenues and options grow. Many have pulled the plug or are about to favoring social media as the new sales tool.
To that end I'm going to test the value of continuing to pay on CF for next year. I'll be honest here; it's a tough nut for most shops to shell out the fees this page costs. The costs have to be justified by sales- it's simple business folks.
Clearly we don't expect to make much money on this. It's all about who reads posts and who actually buys from forum advertising. Two week test. When it's done it's done. Don't whine you missed it!

TCE doesn't just sell brake kits from the back bedroom like some "dealer" we live it, build it and race it. As the owner of TCE we are prepping our three Wells Coyote Pikes Peak cars for another season of dirt hill climb races in Colorado. The 4X PP winning 4 car will also be competing at Mt. Washington once more after finishing second overall in 2011.
*The other two cars (Red 16 and under repairs/build 64 car) are available for rent for a two events yet this season.
All cars sports four wheel Wilwood brakes and custom TCE work. Our 4 car even the light weight Wide 5 hubs up front. So when it comes to competing with what we sell: it's the real deal.
Team TCE scores Second in class and Third overall at the 2017 Mt. Washington Hill Climb.
A great event run by the NH Sports Car Club this winding mountain road goes 7.6mi up at an average grade of 17%. We took three other Colorado Hill Climb specialists with us to take on the locals..and finished Second in the Open Class to Dan Novembre and Third overall to Dan and "Quck time", the Man: Travis Pastrana who shattered the course record with a run of 5:46. We followed at a 6:26 and 6:28. Neither Dan or I, nor the others had anything for those factory Subarus! (essentially 21st century Group B cars they were gutted and tuned up to nearly 700hp for this event)
Ride along on the first run (6:35) of the day here:
You tow vehicle need some brakes to match your track day car?

Drop shipped from the Warehouse in SoCal to your door in the cont USA.
However....unless you have an export service you use here that "free shipping" will be to my shop in AZ. From there it goes POSTAL only to Australia.
About 65lbs per kit, Priority Mail, (least expensive) some insurance: Looks like about $375 per kit. $750 in shipping costs.
15yrs of shipping..nothing less expensive and less of a hassle to be had. Will work with any customer arranged pick up at my shop.
Happy to do UPS, FedEx, DHL etc. only stipulation: I'll give you the basic specs (size, weight, value etc) and YOU do the paperwork with the company, prepay it and have it picked up. Other than signing for the pick up; I'm hands free from any of the paperwork BS that goes along with it. Taxes, costs, hassles...all on you.
