Is this legit?

Found this on the Eurocharged instagram and facebook this morning. Pretty serious allegations from Weistec.

Weistec is treading dangerously close to throwing rocks in a glass house accusing other companies of screwing their customers, seeing as they like to charge a 3-400% markup on a lot of their hard parts.


As for stolen cad files, prove it.

Not saying any of it didn’t happen, or that the other company is in any way in the right (because they sound like scum), but Weistec hardly has a sterling reputation in my opinion.

Dime Racing has been screwing people for more than 5 years and just keeps changing their name and keep on ripping people off, search them on google and you just get endless complaints and law suits.

I do agree with you also, Weistec has their share of customer issues too and they screw you to your face if you are willing to pay their prices, but at least they are not hiding it I guess.

This is shaping up to be one of those witch pursuit thingies.

But seriously, the salt is flowing. I wonder how many old hatchets will be dug out now.

The main page is updated more or less daily. I think the content is light years better than here, but it’s not very focused on the old M156.

i'm sure this all is a case of who slept with who and who cheated on who...we aren't part of the story so we can't say if it is or is not true. but you can't discount the fact that they all slept with each other at some point in time so there is some history and bad blood there.

Lol, we get hosed in the AMG community for parts pricing we all know that. Looking back at it, wish Magnusson would of just still sell the hammer kit.

Unfortunately in the age of unfettered capitalism where it is totally legal to price gouge for no reason other than “because you can” that is the way of things.

[Deleted] Here was a long winded section full of examples of price gouging.

I could go on for ages.

It’s not capitalism it because the market has only a few companies producing parts for these cars. We are seeing some new and interesting parts coming now that are at a much life fair and less gouged price like for example headers.
