the 13th round

im glad they are going bankrupt.

thats for charging a 150 percent markup for their jdm name.

having good quality control dosent cost that much.

There quality control in recent times has gone down hill as Im sure they started getting stuff manufactured in Taiwan/China to save money. It is sad to see but Im not surprised

Cheap knockoffs are good and all, but once the people that make the parts that get copied no longer exist...

Well...you're going to end up with cheap copies of parts for the rest of your life

the 13th round

well, my RFL knockoff BOV works fine.

i dont need something fancy.

my tial knockoff works great and on the same principle as when they first came out.

i dont run chinese turbos,

and i dont ------ need any fancy EMS or boost controllers.

and exhaust systems. sorry but i know an old guy thats been doing exhaust his whole life and i would pit his exhaust against any 1000 dollar system that greedy can come up with.

I never did understand why they tried selling exhaust systems for that high

I am sure the CDM part plays a big part of it but also seeing how less and less ppl touch their car.
seeing how the newer Camry/Accord/minivan has 270 horse is just ridiculous, even the last gen M5 with 400 hp is just "quick" enough.

you run chinese turbos but you run chinese wastegates?
I'd rather run a shitty turbo before I run a shitty wastegate.
REASONS:
if the turbo fails you get 0 boost smoke etc.
if the wastegate fails you hit max boost blow your motor.

don't get me wrong I[ve used a obx lsd for 5 years now still working. knock on wood. also run some ebay cosmetic parts, but thats about it.

Debris from a bad motor can get past the pickup tube screen and eat the bearings out of a bottom end.

I'd rather run a chinese wastegate than a chinese turbo; boost cut can save your ***.

rudebwoy

but remember the guys who uses the chinese parts are too cheap to get a engine management that allows boost cut, they use fmu and afc hack
