Every tuner knows 91 octane fuel is basically a quasi-ferrous compound that can be magnetized to produce ionized particle accererated atomic streams through the injectors . (kinda like vtec).

updated with another counterfeit seller warning...

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

More Tomei fake products, don't be fooled into buying sub-standard counterfeit parts!
If the price is too good to be true, it's probably counterfeit.



The signs of a fake Tomei Fuel Pressure Regulator

- Price listed under $108.00 USD for the Fuel Pressure Regulator alone.

- Free Pressure gauge offered (Tomei does not make one!)

- Free shipping

- Sellers Location (Singapore, Malaysia and any Asian countries in that region are a good sign of a fake item source) But recently eBay sellers in the UK, the USA & Australia are buying from those sellers and relisting on ebay in other countries.

Thanks for posting this Daryl!

More counterfeit parts, be careful you don't want this crap on your car!
The seller's username is "micky_buggy2k".

Official press release:

http://www.tomeipowered.com/BTE/index.php/2012/04/10/more-fake-tomei-sellers-on-ebay-micky_buggy2k/

This seller even stated

***Made of high temperature resistant ABS (industrial synthetic plastic) material and does not
impact the brake performance,will be a good decoration and protector for the braking systems!***

?? and what exactly are you trying to sell???

Well the price and the items shown in the photo are clear signs of a fake. Tomei never offers free fuel pressure gauges to our dealers, so why would they offer that too, on top of the heavily discounted Fuel Pressure Regulator.

This is the genuine Tomei Fuel Pressure Gauge (you can see the face isn’t black). How did they get our logo? well we have it available to download it off our website. The reason is that many media contacts and race/demo/performance cars/teams always ask us for it.

Example Listings;

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

More counterfeit Tomei items found. These ones are even more expensive than the authentic Tomei



Here is another recent find of a seller on eBay selling FAKE TOMEI PRODUCTS. This time this seller has got FAKE Tomei adjustable cam pulleys. The design is not 100% the same, yet they are selling it as “Tomei” and using our logo too. This seller is showing that they are in Thailand. Sellers ID is “jdmmodificationsworld”.

This is why i'd rather buy parts from Daryl and have him look me in the eye as he hands them over , i pay a bit more but i know it's genuine stuff

Easy to scam someone you don't have to stand in front of !

I feel the same right drive is easy to deal with

Asian Governments, y u no care about copyright infringement?

They do, believe me. When I was in China couple years ago, they even have signs on the street telling you to watch out for fakes, and it is punishable by law to buy them. They even check you at customs for fake or knock off products.

Be careful guys, Too Fast Motors Inc in Mississauga is selling counterfeit Tomei Fuel Pressure Regulators. Don't be fooled by the cheap price, this is cheap Chinese-made counterfeit crap.
They even use the same pictures as the other sellers selling the counterfeit parts.
