Godspeed Project

Has anyone heard of them or bought their stuff??? Are they legit? They have a ka turbo manifold for $200 that looks tempting but i wanna know others experience with their parts before I buy. Their site is www.godspeedproject.com

i bought an fmic kit from them. i have yet to install it, but they've been good about answering pm's and questions when i call. in my case i don't know how to install my piping but they've offered to show me in person; since they don't have set of instructions. what manifold were you looking at-the header style or their cast mani?

There not quality but if you do buy there products you can make them work. If you get the mani I would deff recommend that you reinforce it with your own welds or take it some where to have the welds gone over for extra strength and protection.

Come on guys have you even seen there newest versions? there newly revised version manifold for the KA is definitely a quality piece. My buddy will has it on his KA-t and beats the living balls out of that car, It has yet to crack or give him any problems. I think alot of you have just seen what they put out at the begining and dont thinkm they could ever change. I seen there newest stuff and its deffinately a step above anything they have put out in the past. Every company starts off somewhere...

I would trust their NON-MECHANICAL parts only such as FMIC's or Manifolds. I wouldn't trust their coilovers or other suspension arms.

I'll probably catch flak for this but I'm gonna offer some real world input. When I had my last s14, I bought A LOT of cheap parts and threw them on. For example - the MDU coilovers on ebay. Matched with a complete set of Godspeed adjustable suspension components. Honest to god I never had ONE problem. BUT... I did not slam my car to the ground, I did not drift, drag or auto-x. It was an automatic daily driver that my WIFE and I drove to work about 3 times a week. The car was lowered about 2.5" all the way around. The suspension improved the handling of the car drastically at highway speeds and for an occasional spirited drive through some twisties. Almost no body roll. Everything fit perfectly. The ride was decent enough that my wife did not complain. Nothing ever broke. The alignment was perfect. The coils did not blow and I put over 7000 miles on that setup with no problems. But the moral of the story is, I would only use those parts in certain circumstances. If you are going to be racing/drifting the car occasionally, then yeah maybe. But if you are doing that stuff on a weekly basis, I would recommend something of higher quality. This rule of thumb is cliche but it definitely applies---
you can have two of the following but never all three-
fast
reliable
cheap

My car was cheap and reliable.

Not going to Lie though every year there products do seem to look a bit nicer and more well made than previous years, also take note that they make products for the GTR and nobody who owns a GTR is going to cheap out on it. Well At least not yet Its to new and if godspeed is making products for it with warranty then it has to be somewhat decent. Like I said before try to make it a little better your self when you buy there products and most of there products are warranty if you buy directly from them

I picked up a set of their adjustable arms used (they were cheap)
Ikeya knock offs: poor welds, cheap materials, low quality bearings
nothing surprising for what they cost
I may end up throwing them on one of my cars after I get better bearings
and make my own shanks and spacers.

If you want to go cheap you should consider ISIS, I am currently using their V2 tubular manifold and its nice and beefy compared to the Megan I replaced with it. ISIS has a lot of products (rads, oil coolers, manis, even stuff like OEM replacement starters and etc) and the only place I know of to buy their stuff is enjukuracing.com but I bet there are more sites now that carry ISIS stuff.
