ugh chris always gotta rain on my parade. they should hold up better then the oem ones i have right now with almost 200k on them. that article could be just like what happened to chome though with his tiens, and we all know they are legit.

if your company opperates at a 99% efficiency rate, but produces 100,000 items, that still leaves 1000 to have problems. ill just hope mine are some of the good ones haha. also have another new goodie on the way. gotta start searching for tires soon too

 

How about let me get those starions, my rx7 would love them.

 

naw he said i could have em if he gets new wheels

 

I will prob end up keeping them as a spare set. but ill let the select like 3 people i promised first dibs know if they become available.

 

I think Teins suck personally.

And yes SPL or nothing.

 

Yeah sorry. That thread was 2 years old, and they might have addressed this already. The Tein's are physically a different design, and can't fail this way. The Wicked part could be fixed with a better rod end.

And really, I hate to pick on you even more, but your example makes absolutely no sense. Assembly and failure are things that go into all of my designs at work. "Efficiency Rate" is nothing I've ever heard of; that's failure rate you're thinking of. There is this thing called "testing" and "diagnostics" and "inspections" that prevent things from leaving the factory with problems. 99% is a good initial pass rate... but those failed units go back to be fixed or scrapped. 100% of items that leave a factory are (should be) free of defects. But that doesn't get to the root of the issue with the tierod... poor design.

 

i just fail. we all know this.

 

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm just an asshole!

 

The de motor is coming out. VVl should be in and running with lots more soon.

 

no your right, its my fault for trying to repeat a lesson used in a lecture for a economics class which i probably slept 80% of the way through last semester. haha

the way they explained it is even with all the inspections bla bla bla there are still duds which end up out on the market especially with the large quantities and numbers, and when they fail in the right hands it gets brough out to the public like that. there still must be thousands of people out there happy with the product or it would have folded a long time ago. now i also am obviously not challenging that the endlink could use some re-engineering on that joint to be on the level of the SPL unit, but ill see how it goes when its on my car lol.

i dont mind you being an ass chris because when you are you always have facts to back the arguement up and we learn from it. lol

I do have one set of goodies you would approve of coming in, which you will see at QSL sometime in the near future
