Random Chinese Gem - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

olsonpg · 03-22-2017, 10:00 PM

Thought I would drop some crumbs for my forum brethren.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/VR-R...999.264.CYLnSF

This popped up while browsing my favorite Chinese website.

a year ago I bought the exact same one for 40 dollars and I thought it was a steal compared to the Raceseng ones.

Currently its $3.50

Have the silver one installed and have no complaints. Just a solid piece of machined aluminum. Can't really go wrong. And for 3.50. If your looking for a random interior flare for next to nothing. I can attest it's a good buy.

Cheers

Edit: Found a black one on another sellers section for a bit more.

Since I have an automatic and I didn't recognize what it was from the first couple pictures, I thought I was about to buy myself a fancy 86 racing themed duck call.
But now that I see what's it's for and have no reason for it, I still want the duck call.

Lmao, or maybe a recreational device for the lady.

I was looking for a black one, thanks a lot!

Had one like this from Beatrush, hated it. Solid machined aluminum, nothing else, not even a dampener. Rattled like hell after a while. Switched to a Raceseng lockout which has a nice thick o-ring in it, no more rattles.

StraightOuttaCanadaEh · 03-23-2017, 11:22 AM

OP, does yours rattle?

Got red and silver for $12. Thanks OP. I'm sure I'll forget about it and find myself surprised in a month or two.

No rattles at all. I have the Raceseng one in red, and I have this one in silver.

I use this one because theres literally no difference between this one and Raceseng. Its all machine billet aluminum with a minor difference in design (and perhaps an o ring that i never noticed).

Haha thats how it always works. You'll forget and one day it will arrive and it will make your day!

Some of these chinese vendors have been really good at shipping. I get some things in 2 weeks. I've started buying clothes from this site too and the quality is phenomenal.

Anything from Ali express I have to get at least 3 sizes bigger, and never buy anything they claim is "stretchy," like spandex or whatever, because likely it won't be. But otherwise, great place to buy things I'd never thought I wanted.

DrButtDrugs · 03-23-2017, 04:33 PM

If there is an o-ring on the Raceseng can we get a picture? I might be able to jimmy one into this cheapo lockout and avoid any potential rattling
