GMballistic Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 What about those two turbo's though, ...do you think they'll give you much of a hp gain over what you're running now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) What about those two turbo's though, ...do you think they'll give you much of a hp gain over what you're running now? Well if stickers add between 2 -5hp, I'm sure turbo teddies add a good 20 - 50hp surely? So coming on 550 now?

Don't really trust them lol but you can let me know how you get on with them Genuine ones are ridiculous in price!! To be honest replicas are soo good nower days, you can barely tell them apart.. I can notice small imperfections on mine such as relining cover behind the handle but it isn't seen so doesn't bother me in the slightest.. Build quality and fabric is mint in my opinion and even has Bride lables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just more worried about them during accident (touch wood) if they are gonna be as strong as tested and approved seats? But very tempting! You going to Trax? If so, might have a seat in them to see if they more comfy than my sparco ones lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really occurred to me but then again, with my power, I think the seats are the least of my worries I was looking at Sparco and Recaro but something about Nissan and Brides.. Just suits Yes will be going Trax and should have them fitted by then Edited July 25, 2014 by A9H-RX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm pretty sure a trader was banned from selling them on here actually due to safety concerns, was way before my time as a trader but I bet someone will remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The only thing I've read regarding fake seats, Brides or other reclining type seats, is to do with where they are fixed together. Apparently on some of the fakes the metal used is either far to weak or so thin that it will snap in half during an accident. Whether this holds true for all is unknown but obviously some will be made better than others. Not trying to put a downer though on your Faux Brides A9H-RX but just be safe mate.

Ekona Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm pretty sure a trader was banned from selling them on here actually due to safety concerns, was way before my time as a trader but I bet someone will remember That's correct, they were asked to not sell them on here for safety issues. FWIW I agreed with the decision then, and I think it's still a very valid point. In an impact, you really do not want things like that snapping and either moving you around the cabin or penetrating you (fnar) with sharp pieces of plastic and metal. Personally, I would not be fitting fakes to my car unless they'd undergone some testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a set of genuine ones and can still be faulty and not know.. The zed your driving could be previously repaired and not to the correct repair method/standard lvwhich can also affect the safety of the car but how do you test that without smashing it into something?

Ekona Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I think that's being a bit obtuse on the subject really, however if you know the risks and are prepared to accept that then that's fair enough. There's the possibility of being faulty after having had thousands on pounds spent on R&D, tooling, manufacturing, QC etc and then there's the possibility of being faulty simply because they were made on the cheap.
