Default Academy SB sport should i?

Looking at getting back into club racing and my local shop has a sb sport on the shelf, ive read most of the threads and i still fancy it, just wondered if helgar racing/horizon still import Academy as they never seem to be on the website?, as parts seem plentiful if you hunt around a bit but am hoping they are not just left overs and will dry up shortly? Cheers.

Parts supply for plastic parts is excellent, I have more wishbones and shock towers that you can shake a stick at.
For transmission parts contact Horizon UK as Chris has said.

spares are ok for now on the sb after speaking to horizon, no one sounds 100% convincing though so may have a re-think on this one.

The only spares you should need are front hubs.....other than that it would really have to be a tumble to break anything else. The car is solid, maybe put some thought into getting a SBV2 Pro though as it comes with all the graphite and hard suspension parts
