Now if someone there was running this plate and it failed I'd be curious what would happen.

China's finest strikes again. I hate to say it, but that's what Mishimoto is known for. Cheap parts that fail often. They'll have enough parts not fail, and some slick videos and sales reps who appear to care to get some supporters on a forum, but they're hit and miss on quality control. On this board alone we've got your failure which could have resulted in severe damage, and another member who had their thermostat fail, which could potentially kill a motor. It's not just here. I came from the Subie world, and they had the same reputation there.

I hadn't read anything negative about there parts and that's why I took the chance. It's now coming off the car and going back to Amazon. I sourcing another plate this week and I intend on spreading this info as far as I can.

Anyone feel free to quote and repost to
Other forums. I'm building a site devoted to this problem since I now have free time while my car is in the shop.

Anyone taking bets on whether the Mishimoto rep stops by this thread? They're Johnny-on-the-spot when it's a positive review. I'm taking the under for $5.

Mishimoto.......making tons of crap for all makes and models. We have a pile of leaky radiators and broken thermostats lying around the shop for the scrap guys to pick up! Never put this garbage on your car! Mishimoto "tries" to make as much money as they can stealing others designs and using sub-par materials. I had their thermostat fail @ 4k miles.....

I highly doubt they stop by this thread considering I asked twice for them to call me and they didn't. When I finally got through from my end they told me the guy I was talking. To was in a meeting and I left him a voicemail stressing the importance of having a phone conversation to attempt to find a resolution.

Never got a call.

Also I was told by a rep the o ring was revised during production and then the rep I was emailing said that wasn't the case. I believe they are hiding a major issue.

They're viewing the thread right now, and have been for a while, yet no response.

Thank you for your reply. I will contact you momentarily in regards to this issue. I am curious however why it takes writing something like this on a public forum to have someone actually care about my problem.

I spent all day yesterday trying to talk to your service reps and all I got was we will send you another oring.

Because airing it publicly may affect sales.

Glad I got the Z1 Kit/25row/Thermo-plate and not ANYTHING else. Buy from a vendor who actually supports the marque rather than exploit it.

OP no eff'n mercy for this 'firm' who sold you this and made you post up here to get basic CUSTOMER SERVICE. Total BS. I hope your motor is OK!

I really hope that was just a typo, and that they didn't knowingly post a bunk email address just to shut you up. Fingers crossed they take care of you, OP.
