On their facebook page it said due to lack of business. Its sad because the guys at wade were all rwally helpful. Another australian company going bust.

Sux so hard.

Gotta wonder if it's due to lack of innovative thinking or just a byproduct of the tougher anti-hoon laws over the last couple of years.

I'd say its more to do with there being so many boosted cars now, cams just aren't as important to a high performance street car as they used to be.

Shame and wish them all the best.

I have to say ford owners especially 4.0OHC guys definitely supported them alot!

they were great when I got the cam off them for the XH. So sad that a business that has been around that long is gone.
