" It’s with a very heavy heart that we have to inform you that TiiCo will be closed permanently for business due to the economy and personal tragedy.
All transmissions, engine conversions (gas and diesel) deposits will be honored and are due to ship in April 2009. Deposits remain non-refundable.
 Many thanks go out to over 2000 owners that have supported TiiCo for the past 9 years as well as all the friendships created.
Thank you!"
