86Speed and FT86SpeedFactory Difference?
 
Found the same part for sale on these two different sites, one is cheaper but I just wanted to know if they’re both legit ? Thanks

FT86speedFactory is basically a Twin hallmark. Lot's of people have ordered from them. I have heard of 86Speed, but never used them, tbh.

Brayden_23 06-29-2018 08:02 PM

Pretty sure 86Speed is legit. I've also never ordered from them though. FT86SF has handled almost all of my orders and done it well.

86speed can kick rocks. They were completely out of line and unprofessional on my last order. Took 4 business days to ship my in stock order that I paid for priority mail shipping knowing that it would only take two days to get to me. They acted like it was my fault for placing the order late on a Friday, were completely rude when I asked about it. I didn't expect it to ship first thing the next Monday, and selected my shipping option based on thinking it would take them a couple days to get it out the door. Not 4(not counting that Friday).

Never had an issue with 86speed, in fact they were extremely reasonable when I requested to return my tail lights and replace them for a different color. They were very professional and understanding at all times.

I've ordered from both companies and haven't had any issues with either.

StraightOuttaCanadaEh 06-29-2018 11:11 PM

No issues with 86speed

BFIFE22 07-01-2018 09:28 AM

I've ordered a few times from 86Speed and only had an issue with one of them. I've never had an issue with FT86SF except for when UPS lost one of the packages and they sent me a replacement almost immediately. Or when they give me banana laffy taffys :(

SmartedPanda 07-01-2018 05:34 PM

Ordered from both, 86Speed and FT86SF have not great customer service but their websites are great.

Lol you purchased late on a Friday and then were mad that they didn't receive the order, process it, package it, and ship it before going home for the weekend?

So it shipped Monday. How many days did it take for you to receive after it had shipped? Was it 2? I bet it was 2.

Ricepuddin 07-01-2018 09:31 PM

Ordered from 86speed once , no issue

Won't order from ft86speedshop for the simple reason third shipping here sucks. Maybe when I move back to the mainland

The way I read it he didn't expect it to ship until Monday at the earliest, if not Tuesday, but the problem was it didn't ship until Thursday.

If you read my post it took 4 business days to get it out the door, not counting Friday. I picked my shipping option based on knowing it would take two days in transit so if it took them a couple days to get it out the door it would be fine. When I asked about the order if they just said, "we dropped the ball" or "we don't have enough packages to bother to make the trip to the postal office yet" I would have be fine with it. Saying that I placed the order late Friday is not an excuse to take 4 business days to put less then half a dozen items in a USPS flat rate box.

Used 86speed on my catback. They were fast and it was on sale.

N1rve 07-02-2018 01:51 PM

I almost bought something from 86speed, but the item I was looking at was cheaper on ebay. I asked if they will price match and they said no.

FT86 is pretty much my go-to place to look up a product but they are not the cheapest place.

Zephyr977 03-16-2020 02:25 PM

I agree 86 speed suxx
 
I ordered a open flash tablet from 86 speed and it has been processing now for 4 days, so I called them and they said that they are dealing with problems over seas and that it will ship out in 4 more days. I paid for priority overnight shipping too, if they dont have the product in stock they should state that on their website........ but then nobody would buy from them because they dont keep anything in stock 🤷*♂️

Just saying the state of the world is in disarray. Likely will disrupt many things and I doubt performance upgrades are on the top of the list.

DarkPira7e 03-18-2020 11:29 AM

I've ordered from both. I've never had an issue with 86speed, but FT86speedfactory has frequently shipped things from the same order in different shipments and then e-mails me 2 weeks later saying one of them is out of stock.

86speed is a little less well known, but over the course of 5 years of buying from both, I trust them more to keep their stock up to date on the webpage. I think any online store has the capacity to be hit or miss depending on the day; I could have just gotten lucky every time I've ordered from them and unlucky with what I purchase from ft86speedfactory

whether it's at a local warehouse or overseas, it could still be considered "in stock".

Most likely related to current problems. You could just ask them for a refund of the extra shipping costs you paid.


Just assume that anything you order right now, from any site, will be slower than usual.

I mainly buy from 86speed or now I think they are Speed Industries.
They are partial sponsers of my car and their warehouse is in nevada which makes for damn near 2 day shipping on anything to me in socal

ft86speedfactory or subiespeed or rallisportdirect I think are all sister companies. their inventory and prices are all the same and they all have the same main building

JB Autosports Inc.
In iowa.

They are alright but alot of times their prices are super inflated........but their youtube channel and social interaction is way better, you know they get on instagram and youtube, and make the videos and do give aways .

86speed is more toned down, but Ive often dealt with them directly and had near nothing bad from them at all.

and out of the two Im only running one brand's vinyls on my quarter panels...

FT86SpeedFactory: I've ordered headers, cat-back, lights, emblems, suspension parts and more. The headers and cat-back were the FT86SpeedFactory "brand" and were high quality IMO. Everything was shipped and arrived in good condition and a timely manner. My only one delay was on the headers which went out of stock the day I ordered them (maybe just timing of updating the website). But customer service was responsive to all of my e-mails and they were able to adjust my order to a different color header so I could get it sooner (silver to black ceramic). They even refunded me some money after the purchase when I found out they offer military discounts. They didn't hav to do that. Also, I like their YouTube channel.

Haven't ordered from ft86speedfactory but ordered from 86speed for the first time living in Australia. In the current crisis and being from America I wasn't expecting my package to arrive for several weeks and was very surprised to see it arrive 4 days after it was shipped from the cheapest delivery option.

So pretty happy with that, they did take a few days to ship the order but with how quickly it arrived i'm not fussed.

(Bought an OFT and if you live in Australia like me, 86speed has cheaper delivery options resulting in an overall cheaper cost than ft86speedfactory)

BRZ_88 05-15-2020 02:33 AM

I bought my supercharger kit from ft86speedfactory as well a few other parts. Their customer service rep was very helpful when I had questions about compatible fuel pumps/injectors to go with the kit.

Ernest72 05-15-2020 11:52 AM

Always check the various sites. Rallysport direct has beaten ft86speed on some prices for various things.

x1UP 05-19-2020 11:52 PM

I mainly buy everything on FT86SpeedFactory for everything and they've been responsive and great with communication.

I was about to buy something on 86speed one time, but I hesitated, even though their Black Friday sale was much better.

I actually just tried to check 86speed and it looks like their website is down.....so I guess FT86SpeedFactory it is!

Pat 05-19-2020 11:55 PM

FT86SF has been unwilling to speak with me in the past. I wanted to talk with someone before placing an order on their website and they were unwilling to do that. I am unwilling to do business with anyone that is unwilling to speak with me. Your mileage may vary.
