So I'm just wondering if there's a specific place on this forum for people to post up their reviews or experiences buying car parts or their dealings with particular companies, good or bad? 

Have bought some pretty horrendous quality parts from a pretty big company before and would be happy to share all the pictures and the full story for anyone considering parts any upgrades from said company

The problem here is that we have had several companies threaten legal action against me personally because others have written bad things about them on the site. As I am the one who ultimately is responsible for the site then I am the one who is liable.

That said, I'd definitely entertain the thought of having a feedback (positive and negative) section if the posts were moderated and proof of purchase/ownership could be established. The big issue is always keyboard warriors who jump on and say "yeah, i had a mate who blah blah blah and they were shit". There'd be a bit of work required to set this up and make sure it was all kosher.

Leave it with me.

All good yeah that's why I figured I'd ask. I have receipts and all from Mishimoto for almost $1000 worth of parts, and pictures of the poor quality and simply not fitting. If you decide to make such a section let me know. In the meantime anyone who is thinking of purchasing mishimoto feel free to ask for the pictures and story of my experience with them and I'd be glad to send them to you, as I wouldn't so much as buy an air freshener off them anymore 😂

I thought it was well known on these forums that you shouldn't buy parts from that supplier.

I wasn't on any forums until this one recently 😂 and they're well reviewed for the most part, until you start looking harder to find the bad reviews. But live and learn I guess, won't make that mistake again. It's the customer service that was even worse tbh

Might as well go buy eBay bing bong and stencil on the M and save the remainder for a few quick lap dances at the local titty bar.

Shhh, they might hear you. Directly below your post

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
