Obviously there aren't that many people running it! So why don't you save the extra money in your pocket and buy it. Then you can come back here and let people know how it turned out.

Wouldn't buy because its a knock off of qsd kit...support the innovators, not the ***** that copies others hard work.

At the risk of getting flamed I bought one. I got it for well under the advertised price.
That being said it doesn't come with instructions. I emailed plm and they said insturctions
Are not provided only 'tech support'. I had bought a used qsd kit awhile back that was incomplete and sent it back to the guy that sold it to me. And atleast to my eyes they are exactly the same. As far as putting this thing together it's gonna be sometime before I get around to it. I'll post up some picture when I do.

QSD has obviously put in the time, research and dedication to make a superior product.

Why would you NOT support the companies that make what we need/use?

To save a few bucks? GFTO...

The H2B game is touchy when it comes to a kit that works flawlessly... the clearances have been known to be an issue when it comes to shifting... if there is a good company already making them that has corrected the issues... why buy a knock off for 5 bills when the real thing is a couple more....

I can see it now a million threads popping up why my car wont go into gear or shift up or down, low rpm or high... with a knock off kit

Save Honda-Tech archives and space and buy the real thing, in the end be less trouble... and better service...

I know how it feels to have a poor knock off made.... reality is the poor part fails, your product shines and will continue to.

Of course it doesn't come with directions, they probably don't even know how to put it together. I won't be helping anyone or answering questions for anyone who doesn't have a QSD kit.

That's fine no one in here asked for help after all it ain't rocket science.
It would be nice to have instructions but I'm sure I can figure it out.
And if it doesn't work I'll just buy a qsd kit. Like I said I got it for well
Under the advertised price.

That's awesome! **** those that support copy cats that put the innovating businesses out of business. What happens when knock off's take over and the originators go out of business? There's nothing new for them to copy and they obviously can't design their own **** so we get left with nothing.

That's the stance I'm taking as well.

I'm sure you guys defending ‘it’s the same’ would also defend their header development process, or the design they take for all of there products. Buy a design in demand, replicate with lower quality, sell. Sounds like a winner for someone preying on the cheap and uneducated.

Following and designing something similar to improve upon… sure. That's what moves us forward. Copying just to make a quick buck just puts everything in reverse. I respect no company for that. No matter where you are from, not sure how you guys could do the same.

to QSD

replicators will always be there preying on kids who dream big but cant afford the real thing.

Its the job of people who care about this industry to do what is right for it.

honestly you all make good points but coming from somebody that had H2B with no kit held together with 2 bolts drilled through the block, stock mounts, no half shaft adapter, literally had my axle hanging with no bolts.

I beat the breaks off my swap and it always started and never had shifting problems and by far was the worst slapped together creation in my automotive history...

i'd say anything is better than NO KIT but yes for a few dollars more; QSD is by far the best when it comes to value and performance.

my input is this; buy it, try it, if it breaks be ready to spend more money fixing it or be prepared to take a loss...

but if it works out great then take it and run with it

I will be buying one in the near future like I said I've had worst (NO KIT)
