legit to me (having ordered from him before), even though I had a bad feeling about the rails when I received them. I believe mine are fake. I purchased them end of October 2008. Upon recieving them: ONE, I noticed that the ends of the rails had poorly machined threads where the AN fittings thread into (which I overlooked and took a thread file to (unknowing that these were possible knockoffs). TWO, the box HAD THE 300DEGREE STICKER WITH THE LOGIN INFORMATION ON IT, BUT IT WAS RIPPED OFF AND I COULD NOT READ IT.(POSSIBLY INTENTIONALLY?) I then contacted COZ and told him I could not register, or do whatever I should have done with 300degree's website. He told me something along these lines:
"I don't have that information"... "I wouldn't worry about it, you don't need to log into that forum, it's not usefull"..."all you need to do is the following to ensure they don't leak"... (Coz dictates from here on out as to how I should install these based on his own experience with them). Mine DO have the o-rings between the AN fittings and the rails. They came packaged in a box WITH 300degree instructions (copied?) and the rails were individually wrapped in bubble packaging and orange paper. The rest of the bolts, washers etc. were in a plastic bag. The injector caps were not like the ones picture on the 300degree web site, but were brackets in the shape of a "C." (I figured they were redesigned or simplified, my mistake?)Rarely do I make an effort to post here, I use this site for information purposes etc. but I find it disturbing and pathetic that someone would do this to us. I literally finished a 2 year long build on my car, thousands spent, and was ready to start it up within the next week. Coincidentally the manifold is the last thing to go on because we wanted to purge the system with fuel to see if the rails are good to go and leak free; and in comes this BS. (thank god I found out before it's on the road and in danger or creating a disaster). To conclude: has or did anyone have suspicion based on examining the rails, prior to the COZ post of admittance and wrongdoing? Does my product sound illegitimate? What can or should be the correct process in recovering our damages and replacements? All I really want is the real thing without suffering a financial loss, so I can move on with my own ambitions. Z1 is no longer a vendor of choice based on bad experiences, now I add CZP to this... Will there be anymore added to this list? Please, practice good business ethics, integrity is more important than making a few dollars.
