Read this ex franchise owner's website on his feeling towards *****

The big top secret ***** does not want anybody to know is that their shock absorbers are made by ****. As we all know **** Shocks are way cheaper than ***** brand shocks and are the same thing with red paint on them instead of **** blue!! Their front end parts are all made in Taiwan in the cheapest factory *** could find. Re-boxed and re-badged with the ***** logo on it and sold for top dollar their polyurethane bushes are made by ** **** (******).The icing on the cake is that ***** own Rally cars do not utilise ***** shocks or struts they use !! How is that for trusting your own products!! ***** *** *** 4x4 shocks are the biggest load of shit on the market as they have a high failure rate especially on coil sprung vehicles like Nissan patrols. I should know, because all we did at our O'connor store was change over 4x4 shocks under warranty! There were alot of unhappy ***** customers.

This is the main bit that worries me....

is it for real?

I just saw that on another site. It's not the fact that they don't manufacture parts themselves that pisses me off, but the fact that they screwed someone over and his life and family are ruined. Bad business.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
