I placed an order with Burn at the beginning of August, which was duly acknowledged, but since then I have heard nothing more from them. Messages have been unanswered, and the phone just goes to an answering service. Needless to say, payment has been taken from my account.

Does anyone know what the score is?

Might be on holiday, but could have given some notice. Its not unheard of for Burn to be a little slow with orders and responses but nearly a month is a bit much.

Faceache pages down and so is their eGay page ..... equally no other forums i can see moaning about them so ... maybe ask someone local to go and look.

Yeah I doubt it's intentional, I've bought a fair few things from them recently and in the past and always had good service from them.

Have they morphed into Taikyu?

I ordered things from them on the first week of August. I emailed them a few days ago and got a reply today that items were out of stock and en-route from Japan. Email had the Taikyu logo on it. There was an offer to ship parts that were in stock. Hopefully just the process of changes slowing things up?

Yep. I'm sure Ant will be along soon.

Taikyu's website looks good. They're retailing everything you're likely to need to keep an S2k - and other cult Hondas - running into the future so they've obviously considered the market.

You can even choose between 'blueprinted' (not sure what that means) F20 or F22 engines.

The price of Dixcel brakes looks to have inflated a little though.
