    I saw one of those 1g Civic valve covers at a race track once on this guy's Civic 1200. It was a 10,000RPM monster putting 175hp to the wheels. Out of a 1200CC engine! It was no fucking around, that's for sure!

    I couldn't tell the difference. It's like the fake Rolexes they sell in NY Chinatown. They look real enough to get you knocked over the head.

    i would think they would. i'm not 100% certain but i think there are trade laws that products have to be labeled as to their country of origin
    It's not failure, it's redefined objectives!
