Default Anyone Know What Happened to Nu-Tek Motorsports?

I had been looking at their site awhile ago and when i went back it has disappeared. Have they went out of business or changed names?

I hope they lose it all. Those guys are crooks. I waited like 3 or 4 months for a refund on a returned item. I had called them several times and my mom finally called them and ripped on them.

I had my short block done by them about 3yrs ago, kinda slow, but did a bada$$ job on it, no problems whatsoever..Nick Norris(head guy at Nu-Tek) works for Compstar.(supporting vendor) They deal with Callies cranks,etc.

Those that got their parts and engines got good stuff, problem is several guys spent THOUSANDS on engines that were never delivered.

I mean yeah the parts were good stuff, but obviously they were just distributors. Bad customer service is a business killer. Just look at NAPA, shitty parts but their service is halfway decent so they're still in business, haha.

They weren't just distributors, they built engines. Darn good ones too.

They did bad *** work, grow way to fast, prolly spent money they didnt have and folded. A lot of shops grow real fast, try to expand, spend to much and end up paying the money to finish customers motors/cars with money they get from new customers, very bad way to do business, but it happens a lot. In the last 6 years I cant even begin to count how many shops have folded that way
