Fun fact: Checking for "Made in XYZ" stamps is a good way to figure out if your product is counterfeit or not for weird legal reasons. Nardi is an Italian company, so is Sparco. Nardi wheel had a proper stamp while Sparco harnesses said American made. Works really well with Advan rims. Counterfeit ones all say "Japan Forged" or "Japan Made" but never "Made in Japan"

@kevinmulia6503 Рік тому

They often say "Japan Design" which probably, to me, is a good indicator that the thing is a replica/not the real deal

@kuacisudo995 Рік тому

there are few other counterfeit product company that brave enough to stamp made in japan .. i’ve owned fews and only their material quality differ them apart from the real products .. design wise look pretty legit .. don’t get fooled

@bjiggles8145 Рік тому

Idea: separate the three lads with some dividers. Give 2/3 real parts, and one a knockoff. Let them discuss why they have the fake or why they have the real part. They know 2/3 have real parts, so some strategy may be used to trick the other into thinking they may indeed have the genuine part. Chaos ensues!!!

@Sourman1545 Рік тому

Tesla is bad at that currently, look at all the body panels and the gaps on any tesla if you see em in the wild.

@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 Рік тому

@@Sourman1545 Yeah build quality is questionable at best... I've been in a few Teslas, one that was delivered pretty recently and they leave a lot to be desired. Now that there's serious competition from the Germans and the Koreans I can't see why you'd buy one unless it was an emotional decision... The Koreans have the best manufacturing processing in the world, take it from the people who know. My old man was the global director for Stahl Chemicals leather and automotive finishing division and had a lot to do with helping Hyundai set up Genesis. He always said nobody is better at quality control than the Hyundai group, they had never made their own leathers in house and he said they had it absolutely nailed within two years and for an outfit that size that's unbelievable. He reckoned they make the best leather products on the planet now and the fit and finish is every bit as good as the best of the Germans or the British. Goes to show how much a badge can influence the perception of quality. It take a blindfold to really make a decision using your head over your heart... And cars are very emotional things.

On the fake Sparco racing harness, another tell could be that the threaded anchors look like they’re cast and unfinished (meaning there was not a post process conducted, like machining, to improve the condition of the part from the imperfections of the casting process). Cast components tend to have brittle failure modes and are not great when loaded in tension (i.e., the force of the belt against the anchor when the car crashes).

@Tony-ib2vm Рік тому

Even real harnesses can be dangerous too. I know an scca champion who broke their neck from a cam latch catching and opening during a rollover. They recovered and have used knob style cam buckles since. It's not just buying quality, but also how you implement it.
