GReddy Turbo kit for BRZ / FR-S

I don't think the main subject of the thread is quality of the knockoff.

GReddy didn't make this post because they were concerned your clone was subpar lol

Taiwan vs China is not the issue here SPD, DROP THE SALES PITCH. The issue is intellectual property. A knock off is a knock off regardless of country of origin.

In this context calling something a Chinese part is just slang for over seas knock off, not a direct comment on the country of origin. Thats not a stretch and you know it.

as some kiwi suggested earlier, we could just call them 'chang parts' since there are changs in both countries...but i am afraid people might argue that the changs in china actually spell it 'zhang':bonk:

That term is a new one to me. I just don't want to get mixed into politics or potential racial comments. That's not the point of this discussion.

I don't really understand why you're upset with GReddy for filing bankruptcy? It's reasons like this that they had to. Would you tell your friend to fuck off because his business had lessened because of copies of his products? Don't be ignorant and bring in something to this thread just to look down on GReddy.

*Just so you know I'm not a huge fan of GReddy. Yeah, they're cool, but I've never used their products so don't say I'm a nutswinger.

I'm sorry, maybe I miss or misread something here. Making sure I'm reading this correctly, are you blaming admin & mods for this too?

Cuz this is outside of forum business. Forum can ban (& have banned) vendors who have/had horrible customer service &/or screwing members of sending late or etc.

If you wanna say "But they're selling knockoff parts & you're allowing that?" Then I'll rely w "If you know it's knockoff parts & go against your moral, don't buy it." Simple as that.

Looks, if you wanna go technical, post by GReddy is technically advertising of their product & they need to become vendor before posting this... but is this thread lock/deleted? I can tell you, if it did later on, it wasn't from me. I don't like the idea company copy other company's design/idea. As a member, I fully support GReddy.... but that doesn't mean I can use my mod power to banning company.

so until SBD or other brands screwing members by not shipping their products, or horrible customer service... Admin & mods can't step into it.

Did I make it clear? Or is this still sound BS to you?

Lololol that's s2d4 for you. He's always angry. I didn't even get to see how stupid his post was until you quoted it because he went on the ignore list a LONGGG time ago.

No thats not the idea. Vendors who sell say Rota wheels, do just that sell a Rota product. If vendors put there name on the product like SPD has then they would be in the same boat.

SPD is roped into this discussion because they are selling the product with there name, not because people are buying it. What you mention above is directed at customers.

Its gettin a little racist in here. Mods, can you delete the derogatory/discriminatory asian references? Would be nice if there were infractions as well. And if the offending members see this IDGAF that type of language is wholly inappropriate.
