...and that EMPI chrome parts are sh** and start rusting after a month or two...

Not to mention lenses that don't fit.

And plastic parts that snap the first time the sun sees them.

Blitz blitz blitz... when you eventually take your foot out of your behind, you will realise that you are slating the parts that other forum members also sell as sideline businesses. As you so eloquently always say, please rant about bad parts and service under the appropriate thread namely "Suppliers" :lol:

Also CBF asked a simple and honest question and not for a product review.

A good Blitz is a silent Blitz. :lol: I liked it when you were lurking all the time and not hiding your online status, after taking a mini sabatical from the forum... :?

If you need the tissues just ask ok... :D

*yawn*

Your blitz-bashing is getting a bit stale hey.

I'm not slating anything, just sharing a legitimate problem to a newbie who might just get taken by all the shiny EMPI goodness and may not know about quality issues on some of the EMPI stuff.

That being said, not all of the EMPI stuff is bad. I have an EMPI Type 3 exhaust on order as well as some brake discs. I have just been burned one time too many by buying new stuff which is supposed to last and then have it failing on me 6 months down the line. That is BS. A new product is supposed to LAST.

Oh I'm terribly sorry that you have such an issue with me and my posts and you liked it better when I was silent. Boohoo. Ask eben to ban me if it affects you so much :lol:

Hope your day is made! :lol:

In the appropriate thread,... Suppliers.... Blitz.

Nope I like you around, your are fun... especially when you proved to all that you did not have the courage of your convictions. I grin when you make me laugh... :shock: :? :lol:

Like I said, there are others also selling EMPI parts on the forum. Dont step on their toes. Im sure CBF can make his own decisions when he sees them.

PS: here is the email addie for your EMPI complaints: empi.usa@empius.com

There was indeed an 'EMPI South Africa' company in the early 70's...
