Replica parts thread? - Poll.

Post by **rob quilter** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:53 pm

So I have just put another order in to a mate who lives in China and supplies replica parts worldwide. The parts are what friends have ordered. I have been asked by a few people to start a thread, but thought I'd see if threres more interest.

I've seen a lot of the stuff myself, and most of it is made to the same (or pretty Damn close) to originals. Believe it or not 97% of Tegiwa Imports stuff comes out of the same factory as all the replica stuff, its just badged up differently. Technically if I could get a big order, I could have the LG logo put onto replica parts instead of 'skunk2' or 'Tegiwa' etc...

I can get TONS of stuff, a small idea....

Password JDM stainless steel manifold bolts
Skunk2 fender washes
Skunk2 billet aluminum battery ties
K&N Apollo filters
Tow hooks
Rays, volk, blox, d1 nuts
Coloured silicone Rad hoses
Coloured silicone induction/ turbo pipes pieces and bends
Momo, sparco, nardo steering wheels
Takata harnesses/ pads, sparco, Williams harnesses
Gearknobs
Turbo manifold
Turbos
Intercoolers
Oil coolers, hose kits
Fuel pressure Regulators
Bride, sparco seats

Stuff for Civics, integras, crx...

Lower braces
Skunk2 Camber arms

The list goes on....

it's a yes from me, more out of curiousity to see how good this stuff is!

Most of its no different, they actually make an effort to make a decent copy. I have friends that have been running replica wheel nuts, camber arms, braces for ages now with no issues. And you'd never see any difference in appearance, they update the parts every few months making them even better....eventually, it'll probably end up better than the genuine stuff

The only part I've ordered that I class as 'doesn't function' are the harnesses, due to the fact they don't put enough stitching on. Although my mate in China says they are working on a new Takata replica that will be as strong as the real ones apparently.

Interesting idea, not for me I'm afraid. I see a lot of Chinese stuff in work which makes me a little uneasy about it

You do realise these are illegal counterfeits? And you acting as an 'agent' are dealing with counterfeit goods.

Posting on an open forum, heavily searched by Google is not a good idea bud. My missus works in intelligence with the police and there are people that trawl the internet for this stuff and this would be easy pickings.

Just a warning. It's a no from me.

^^that being the case it's a no (

) from me, I am not interested in wheel nuts, silicone rad hoses, gearknobs or pedal covers...
