just read an article that frens sent me...duno how many of u knew about this...
for those who already know this, just ignore and go....
for those who havent know yet :
there's fake apexi pen type timer which is not made in japan but sum where else...
taiwan? china? i just dunno...
maybe some of u out there is cuting down your soup-up budget and willing to buy that at lower price(cos of that 0.30cents)....thats up to u.
but countefeit-ers may take advantage at those who didnt know about this. guinea pigs-victim will get cheated and buy those at a "close-to" genuine price!
maybe 20bucks cheaper than the genuine one will be the sweet beans to kill them....
beware!
i attached few pics which my fren forwarded me. they tell which is genuine and which is not...
the fake one tells by the following :
-the black small box module dun have serial number sticker...
-did not come with that small plastic bag which provide cable ties, double side tape and such...
-after timer off, the numbers is white...(genuine one is red).
-doesnt have red dots at the wires.
-comes with protecting film at the front screen.(fakes screen get scrathes easily)
-A/F reading always display 14.6
-hand brake wire not funtionable...even if u conect that grey(handbrake safty) wire to the hand brakes, it makes no diffrent.
-thickness of the timer display.
-box's height and open style.
