Make the world go 'round. On that note, what is oppo's favorite slang term for knockoff parts?

Edited because Kinja.

"Cheap Chinese Crap" Yes it may be racist, but it is surprising accurate for a lot of parts.

Well then what IS acceptable to get super cheap direct from China on eBay?

Anything that you would never trust your life to

Shopping at the 'Dodgy Brother's Parts Warehouse'.

They used to be a comedy duo on an Aussie show called Fast Forward. They'd sell knockoffs and cheap shit that would break instantly, had skit ads where they'd just yell about how awesome their products were and crazy cheap prices.

Glad I just got a oil filter sandwich adapter and coolant temp adapter. They're blue, which is all the criteria I need to buy something for the Mustang.

Blue adds 15 hp, but red adds 40 hp! :p

Have you seen the forum thread where a gipsy wants to build a monster eclipse with a whole host of eBay parts? I swear it looks like he used a hand grinder to grind down the head. Everytime I see parts from eBay I just get that image stuck in my head.

Negative ghostrider. Although that sounds kinda awesome.

At some point with our LeMons car the plan is to go full on ChinaSpeed and turbo the beast, for less than $200.

For lemons I would honestly trust the tubing and silicon. You could probably get a cheaper/better turbo and intercooler from a junkyard. I wouldn't think that the eBay parts could mess up too bad. I would just double check for slag for anything up stream of the turbo. If any of that breaks off it would wreck your turbo in a matter of seconds.
