Godspeed, CX, Isis just knock off what the good companies are building, they do no R&D, and do not care if it only lasts a few hundred miles.

prove it fucktard. ive been in the industry for a long long time and i know for a fact that companies buy mass produced shit and apply their names to it.
people like this: http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/services.phtml and thats just one example. open your fucking eyes.

I run there full suspension arm package, oil pan and short shifter on my s14 no complaints here.

I have a Greddy oil pan on my SR20 for the last 5 years, I didn't have to do anything to it. It was a perfect fit and it has never leaked. :mindblown:

i think i need one of those too.
its funny, im playing devils advocate here, but 95% of my shit is "big" name. lol

i think the bottom line here is

most people dont know where to draw the line between buying a quality product and a shitty one.


a friend of mine said he bought some knockoff extended wheel studs and that he was driving a while back, he saw his wheel rolling down the street. yeah, go figure... i guess thats a performance benefit... watching your wheel rolling ahead of the car. he quickly reverted back to OE parts.

i dont understand you people. seriously, stupid stupid stupid. ive bought so many performance parts over the past decade. all you have to do is work hard and budget accordingly. i've supported companies like ARP for their studs, ATI for their crank dampers, whiteline for their coilovers.... there are a lot of good companies making good products. if i cant buy it new, i buy it used.

at the end of the day, i dont think you guys would know the difference between a good product vs a bad one if it hit you in the ass-hole. i have basic craftsman pro tools and also snapon. i for one can tell you that some things are worth spending money on, but not all. you have to buy what you need. you have to know what you need.

unfortunately, a lot of you guys dont even know your ass from your elbow

Well, for one, back in 1971 when HKS Started, there were no such thing as knockoff parts like there are today. If you go on half the good companies sites they have pics of them manufacturing their own products. Read a few articles from import, super street, etc on the companies (Mines, HKS, Yashio Factory, etc etc.) and they always have pics of them manufacturing their own parts.

For example here:
EXPREME

There is R&D in the products theyve made... comparisons to stock, etc. Just look at it... You think theyre buying their exhausts from the same place godspeed and megan are?

heres what you dont get - there are a number of companies that do their own r&d and pay someone else to build it using the specs that they come up with. perfect example of that - coil spring winding machines cost over a mil apiece - do you REALLY think that just anyone can afford a machine like that? of course not. thats why theres only a handful of them around and why big name companies send them their requirements and have them made. companies like edelbrock do all of their own work and for sure, theyre not the only ones. but to naively think that every big name does all the work themselves is just that - naive. everyone farms out their work at some point.

[AsleepAltima]

to add to that - yes, they could be, in essence buying their stuff from the same manufacturers. only difference is, the big names will require better materials. ive seen it firsthand in aerospace. and believe me - theres a shitload more money being thrown around for parts to be made in the aerospace industry. i used to work for boeing and mcdonnel douglas - i can tell you right now that theres more than a few parts with "boeing" stamped on it that boeing did nothing more than supply a blueprint for.

but in the end its their car.

[FcMURRRDA]

bought a isis turbo mani for my sr... the quality is trash. i regret buying that peace of shit. i also bought there straight dual 3" cat back exhaust and it came out very nice but its loud as fuck. my advice is, DONT BUY CHEAP SHIT.

[cbcm2435]

i bought one of their intake manifolds for my sr, i thought i would atleast try it for a fourth of the cost of a greddy manifold, the quality is absolute shit!, they didnt even try to clean up the casting at all, its going in the dumpster and im buying a greddy, this is the first and last cheap part i will buy

I bought the M7960 for the s13 sr, i also had the v2 mani and it looked great fit, fit great but it cause the turbo to hit the mount on the block and there was no chance in bolting it up

[s13coupe92]

Thanks for playing!

[tricky_ab]

So then OP, are you going to buy this crap or not?

[1993fdrx7]

Isis clutch line is trash. Exhaust is good though. Go figure

[Hoffman5982]

Suspicious Garage clutch line is the way to go

[ZX88]

dudes its pretty hard to fuck up an exhaust. So stop using that as a basis that ISIS makes good products. Shit is just rebadged shit from chiner and korea-land.

I bought a few items from ISIS and everything I have bought has either been shit and i replaced it with good actual products. Or has required modification fit properly.

I just installed my turbo on their v2 mani and fits absolutely fine. Also my friend has it and is slammed with a solid downpipe. For two years still strong. Just pulled it off to check for cracks and nothing.

Sounds like isis may be hit or miss. But enjuku would prolly help out a lot with faulty parts

enjuku are the ones that sent me my shit manifold

[zooopreme]

Cheap people buy cheap shit. They even enjoy the fact that Ken @ Enjuku replaces shitty parts with the same shitty parts if not worse.

Speaking of Enjuki, where'd y'all go? You always come in these threads & say something to bring back the cheap people.

[xoxide]

I called them up and they gave me a refund. I didnt want another shitty line haha.

[Toi]

Wow just wow, these threads tickle me. Guys in Japan are running isis parts with no issues and we have crappy winters. As for knock offs there are an epic ton of them in Japan. Like many others have noted the only way to tell the real deal from a fake would be if the name is stamped into the metal......

[MrSanchez925]

So who here has had an actual bad experience with isis suspension components?

thats the reality, but a lot of fanbois refuse to see that.

[cbcm2435]

if by fanboys you mean people that like using quality parts, then you are correct. oh btw here are some pics of the manifold that i refuse to put on my car. there are more things wrong with it, i just didnt feel like taking more pics. i will happily sell it to one of you guys that think knock offs are awesome

big name doesnt always mean quality that is actually better than other big names quality.

and yes, i have big name parts on my car as well but i am far from fanboi. ill go with what works, if it works and does what i need it to do.

Probably making another 5% off joke-of-a-coupon that wouldn't even cover the sales tax for my order.
