@FT-86 SpeedFactory is a completely different group. They're actually a forum vendor and have a lot of great reviews.

FT86SF are in Iowa, not south Florida. They are racers, not criminals. You can see them on YouTube in their Bar and Track video series, not mugshots.com. They provide tracking updates, numbers and free laffy taffy with orders, not frustration, no updates and missing parts. They provide customer service, not blocks on Facebook.

So no, they are not the same. They did sell FA20Club parts and maybe still do though.

Two minutes of searching would have fixed that instead of spreading concerns about them.

It's just too bad that the prices are so high. I use them as a part reference and then go elsewhere and save tons of money, but no free candy sadly

We are in NO way related to FA20Club. We are located in Iowa at 108 Jefferson Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50314 and have our own shop/warehouse space and etc.

FA20Club took it upon themselves to steal some of our pictures and descriptions in most cases word for word. They even try to sell our products that we make in house and would not sell to them for resale anyway. Not sure why they have done this.

Same as MAP Performance. Check their FRS / BRZ parts section. Direct copy of our stuff. Lots of copy cats out there.

We design everything in house and use a cart platform that anyone can use. Again FA20Club felt the need to copy images and descriptions word for word. We are definitely not related to FA20Club in anyway.

We shouldn't be higher than any other reputable vendor. There are plenty of sketchy shops run out of basements though that don't have employees or stand behind their sales. If people don't support the vendors that take the time to actually test parts, put knowledgeable videos and information out there then these vendors will go away and all that will be left is the basement shops that have ZERO clue about how your car functions and what parts are good or bad.



---------------------
Again we are in no way related to FA20Club, we do our absolute best to take care of our clients and can be reached via email at sales@ft86speedfactory.com or 888-885-2002 M-F 8am to 5pm CST. We are located in Iowa, and have no affiliation with FA20Club located in Florida.

What about demos. I remember when downloading and playing demos was what kids did. If anyone convinced their mum to pay $20 for a CD key every kid wanted it from you. My mum bought me a game once and it came with a CD of demos, I lent it to so many kids and then it got stolen, lmao

Anyone remember piracy back in the day? I remember there were programs for people to host servers. Some were public access others you had to pay money to get an access code. Depending on your member level (how much you paid) would determine your bandwidth allowed. And people trying to run out of their moms basement internet would get bandwidth capped by their ISP and members would get mad as fuk.

If I can buy from ft86speedfactory I do. Aside from @PERRIN they are my favorite vendor. @WheelDude.com rounding out my top 3. That reminds me... I need to write up a review about how above and beyond @WheelDude.com went recently to take care of me.

The fact that you said Internet means that was not "back in the day" lol
