That was a good explanation JDMChris, thanks.

I had your involvement with Kraftwerks confused with Skunk2.

So do you not buy Apple products because they are made in China? And because a company has R&D in there name you assume that they R&d S2products? I have never had a problem with any of their parts. I judge a company on my experience.

I HAVE ZERO PROBLEM WITH COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE/ASSEMBLE IN CHINA/TAIWAN/VIETNAM/PHILLIPINES/ANY OTHER SOUTHEASTERN ASIAN COUNTRY.

What I do have a problem with are:

-Replica companies, especially when they claim a false moral high ground
-Companies that don't have any quality control in place. I used this comparison on another site and I feel it fits with your post:

"No, they really don't. So if Yokohama didn't have quality control on their tyres and 3 out of every 10 were effectively scrap, but your 4 were good, you'd still say they have a good product? Cool ethics bro."

I hate companys

Lets see how long it take before the whole thing is on the news, all companies are crooks and S2 is no different. Its all about money. Obviously its way easy to make 1.6million a year and to pay the 20 workers 50k to keep the thing going when your spending 10K shipping on a bunch of stockpiled camshafts from a plant in ASiA. I love how the pussys at Bunk2 have removed the Wanted Poster from their website \

Well if you do a little research the same companies that produce parts for Skink2 also provide parts for Honda, Injen, etc. I still don't see any evidence that any this is more than someone who produce a part. It's a global economy. This is the internet, some guy posts something that can be dafaming to a company(hiding behind a screen name) and people back him?????

You don't? F*ck the enthusiasts, support those who have no morals, support those who don't develop innovative parts, support those who don't support you!

This shit amuses the hell out of me. Did you people really think that skunk or any other company made their parts in the US? Also, whats your grounds for all of you saying its junk? Just because they "proved" its not made here that now makes all their parts shit even though you yourself have never had any problems with them?

o ok.. that makes perfectly logical sense.

The bounty was ridiculous and not right but the bad mouthing without any backing is hilarious and makes you all look like retards as well.

I think most people with any clue wtf they're doing knew Junk2 has always been made in Taiwan and they've ALWAYS had shit quality. I just posted this up so others could realize that Skunk2 is TRASH.

And clearly you missed the DOZENS of testimony of Junk2 parts failing.
