Broony Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I hate fake Im with you on this onei HATE, fakes and direct coppies/replicas when i comes to cars.Wheels and body parts are my main pet hates!!Can stand the fact that people buy the genuine article and have copies made claiming to to be that style when they are just a direct copy of that product, so when you comes to buying parts that you think could be genuine you have no idea if it is or not because the market is floodded with SHIT!!unless its genuinly stamped up which alot of stuff isnt!!Thats just my veiw though rant over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) i do agree to a point,but i think some examples stand out above the rest for example the autobahn88 FMIC is a direct copy of the blitz FMIC but a fraction of the price imo a good quality intercooler copy or not.theres many more examples ie japspeed exhaust is also a copy of a Blitz but again a fraction of the costso sometimes it just allows people with not such as bigger budget as others to still have a piece of the pie and enjoy it to ......

pig666eon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 whats your point dude?as long as people arent being ripped off or being sold these as genuine then why does this matter? like its pretty obvious that these parts are replicas likei sell alot of this stuff to the irish lads the dvs, catch cans ect ect over the 2 odd years that i have i have never once had a single complaint about quality or anything, i met a lad in july who bought a hks dv off me 2 years ago and it was still working 100%yous can give out about the replica stuff all yous like but id say everyone on here has bought at least 1 replica item at one stage or another so no need to be getting on your high horse about iteverything you have posted is common knowledge anyway im sure all forum threads that your pulling these off are years old like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pig666eon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yes they are rip offs but are not identical as the fit of a genuine blitz is far superior to any chinese tat.As for smaller budgets thats where buying copies and rips off of certain products like fake hks dump valves and Sard FPR's can cost you more in the long run.Its when people think its ok to directly coppy stuff like JAM kits and Varis kits or Work wheels and Volkscopying imo is wrong no matter what it is but i do get what you mean about price of certain things like intercoolers and exhausts but you pay for what you get and anybody who buys genuine items knows how much better they fit.i had a japseed crap exhaust on my 200sx and i bought a blitz nur spec for it and the fit was miles better!!ive had a copy hks for over 3 years and its still working and would fail to see how it would cost me in the long run using one? i sold a rep sard fpr to a lad who has 2 starlet engines in one car over a year ago and its still functioning perfectlyjam copied toyota on alot of their parts and so did alot of companys if you want to go that way about it like what makes them any better or the right to do it?you really dont know what your talking about lad in fairness, if stuff was really that bad these rep parts would have died out long long ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The fact is some of these are getting sold as genuine. I think its a good idea to have this so that if you want to buy genuine, you know what to look for so you dont get mugged off. If you want to buy rep. Stuff then its up to you, you can save money and still have the visual and bonus of an after market performance part without the cost.This list isnt doing anybody any harm other than people trying to flog fake goods as genuine so imo let it be.

pig666eon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 i never said to take it down but i dont like how people can give out about the replica stuff all of a sudden, as said im sure everyone on here has something thats replicathere is plenty more info out there and mostly on the likes of the blitz/hks/apexi websites on how to spot a replica unit, always do your research before you buy somethingi have yet to see a bad quality replica item or even proven otherwise, just make sure your not being ripped off when buying one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rock-Kick-Ass Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) dont take it personaly dude...im just letting the lads know what to look out forim not trying to stop you from makeing a liven .. but i got stung on a fake real part.. ya get me.. and i for one will never let this happen to me or anybody else...i for one hate when people sell shit like cusco rad cap for sale.. £20 ok now it didn't say geniune part in the lads sale thraed but nor did it say it was a replica.. i was gona buy it until i found out that it was a fake piece of crap... and i did more looking into it and for an extra £5 you could buy the real deal....if people wana buy replicas more power to them.. to me this thraed is for people wanting to buy the real stuff and what to look out for.. plus this is also for people who will go to private sales and hopefully this will let them know what to look for wat ever part there going to buy...

pig666eon Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 defo dont make a living selling this stuff i only sell it cause i was ripped off my self years ago and i sort out the lads now pretty much at what it coststbh lad as a general rule you pay for what you get regardless of knowing if they are fake or not, if the price is too good to be true then usually its a replica, always ask the seller about it before buying itthem rad caps come in different fittings and for different cars aswell dude just so you know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 ive had a copy hks for over 3 years and its still working and would fail to see how it would cost me in the long run using one? i sold a rep sard fpr to a lad who has 2 starlet engines in one car over a year ago and its still functioning perfectlyjam copied toyota on alot of their parts and so did alot of companys if you want to go that way about it like what makes them any better or the right to do it?you really dont know what your talking about lad in fairness, if stuff was really that bad these rep parts would have died out long long agoTBH i couldnt give a flying horse shite if you run fake parts or not or sell them for that matter, you can whine on all night about who runs what and all my coppies have been fine etc. At the end of the day they are still fakes/replicas and havent had the same R and D. Its up to you if you want to run things like fpr or waste gates that havent been tested, but i wouldnt and i dont think you should be recommending products to people that havent had said R and D and describing them as being fine. Yes they *may* have been ok but thats not the point in this.The other thing is that its hard to tell when other people are selling stuff on as genuine when its notNot once did i say they wouldnt last??You really dont know what your talking about lad in fairnessPeople buy coppies because they are cheaper and can be disguised as the real thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keenoep82 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I think people are getting "fake" and "replica" mixed up a bit here!IMOReplica = good. Gives people the option of having performance parts at a fraction of the cost of genuine with no pretence of being the genuine article. Granted you won;t get eh same build quaility, but then you know that when you buy itFake = bad. Items being passed off as genuine so the buyer is being con'd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Whilst we're on this lol I have to addRealFakeRealFakeI know they look good and they are a cheap alternative to proper Jdm wheels and a lot if people "just don't get that Jdm shit" but it's quality that counts isn't it? Like said earlier u can't just buy a sard fpr anymore cause likely chance is it'll be fake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
