"Death" is a strong word.
The site has changed a lot since I joined. It seems (and I know I'll be flamed for this) that a lot of the innovators of modifications/aftermarket parts have slipped away or post a lot less now.
The problems are well known and fixes for all are available. The cars themselves are moving "down the food chain" and are being bought by a lot of younger folks it seems.
Anyway, I'll be here till CEG goes or I go. Hopefully, CEG, my car and me ! last a while longer.
