Hello everyone,

I would like to announce that Spencer Low Racing's redesigned website is now online. You can access it at http://www.spencerlowracing.com or http://www.2slr.com .

Thank you for your patience and I hope that you find SLR's new website helpful and informative.

Hey guys- Looks good

Looks good!

does it not work on a mac or is it just me?

It's not just you. It doesn't work on my mac either. I'm bummed, too - I've been anxious to see the new site.

Nice plagiarism...

You think you could come up with something original instead of stealing from your competitor ?

oh jeez, here we go.....

I like it...

Not sure if you want feedback or not.
At a higher resolution the site has some image tiling problems. It would be better to force the size of the tables and not use tilable (sp) images. Would make the site look more clean.

There are also a few missing links but I'm sure that will be ironed out in the next few days.

Ouch! I gotta agree with Ian.... you even lifted text! People get fired and lose jobs for that sheeyacht....

Err, I can't load the site on a Mac in either Omniweb, or more frighteningly - Internet Explorer! It pukes on the Flash/Shockwave intro... You should have a "skip intro" option, or a low/high bandwidth menu. Dunno, but it SHOULD work with both of the above browsers...

I have to agree with Ian - that's not only blatant plagarism, but also copyright violation... Ugh, cheezy!

The site has been down for what, like a year now? Surely you guys could do much better than this...

So close, yet so far! Waaaah!

BoarderPhreak, start here and bypass the Flash page...

Thanks, Ian - I was hoping someone would post that... Heh. For Steinism and Goofiefoot - guys, this is the way in...

That is sad. For the amount of time that the site was down you would think that they would do better at making something original.

Is it just me, the Camini site is toast has been since this thread started (maybe that is the problem).

on another note... it seems that the site freaks out if you are running a screen resolution higher than 800x600.

Looking at it at 1024x768 the pages look freaked out.. Text is out of place and the header is screwed up..

Needs more testing..

Someone better get that HTML off the server and edit the "mission stalemate"... copy/paste against your competition is truely low... Not questioning the product but try a real marketing cam-pain and perform!!!

The "Gallery" section bugs - it shows me the header graphic and menu twice... Ooops!

P.S. After sending you guys pix of my 2" shackles for the "new site" and waiting a year... They're nowhere to be seen! Booooo!

Shoulda had me design it....

NEXTERRA Website

Will work 4 parts.

SLR stick to doing what you do best, making parts, not web sites.

If you read deeper into the page you can see that it is a spoof of the Calmini page. Simple as that. A competitive joke, in good jest. Not an attempt at plagiarism, nor a lack of effort on the part of the web designer.

It is merely attempting to point out that 23 years in the import truck business does not mean that you have 23 years of experience with Nissan, or that these 23 years mean that they build a better Nissan part. It has taken SLR over 30 years and two generations of drivers to pinpoint design flaws, weak links, and other developmental shortcomings in the Nissan suspension system. How does somebeody match this level of refinemnt in 6 months?

SLR simply felt that Calmini made some very bold statements, and decided to poke a little fun at it.

Obviously this was a mistake, as there is a serious lack of humor and reading comprehension sometimes around here. People want to quickly post a reply without taking the time to fully review and understand the content of what they are trying to post about.

Please point out the spoof reference on THAT page..... I don't see it.

And some people may not give enough of a sh+t to 'fully review' the content before calling plagiarism what it is. Maybe an * (* this is a joke) at the bottom of the page could clear that up.

What nolarocks said...

Keep in mind that look-and-feel can also be copywritten.

Poor display of professionalism. Enough said.

I hope to see some rectification of this in the near future. SLR has some outstanding products, and I would hate to let this affect my decision making process when I am ready to purchase aftermarket parts.

As for Joshua's comments regarding lack of a humor around here, I disagree, I have had to explain my laughter outbursts at work SEVERAL times while reading various posts here.

What was that part about reading comprehension again?

The suspension design of the Frontier and Xterra is only 4 years old, and is really no different than any other IFS design. All 3 of the suspension kits on the market are virtually identical, upper control arms, torsion bars, and a shackle/add-a-leaf/spring pack to raise the rear. It's the same for almost every IFS vehicle.

CALMINI claims quality.
I've seen every manufacturers parts side by side, and there is no comparison, but if the parts don't break, who cares.

SLR claims racing heritage. Big whoop, Steve Kramer has been racing desert trucks that long too.

It's all just advertising. Take it as you see it, do your own investigation and make an informed purchase.

My only real concern was the copyright infringement and the legal issues that could arise. That and the fact the site needs to work on Macs, and at resolutions above 800x600.
