Not really the right forum but I figured it would be the best place for an answer. Anyway, people are saying they are being discontinued. Any truth in it? What's a good replacment for the TR-6.

I sure hope they aren't discontinuing them. But I did just stock up with 24 of them, so I should be good for a year or so.

With all the TR-6s people go through I don't understand why they would ever do away with them. A couple of people in the nitrous section have mentioned it more than once so I was hoping somebody really knew. I'll email NGK and see what they say.

We order TR6's usually 1000+ at a time and we haven't heard anything about them being discontinued yet. If I hear something I will certainly post.

Heh...they probably have it saved in a text file and just copied and pasted it in reply to the hundreds of people from here who e-mailed them in a panic.

I like how it starts...almost as if it were saying "Wrong, ya jackass!".
