Default Cosworth The resale/rebranding, Brand!

Whats up with this brand unless its a built engine, most of there products are rebranded items.

Look Cosworth has History of R&D back in the day but is today just company that rebrand other company's products and charge an extra 70-200 USD more then other products that are same.


The name sells obliviously, would you pay extra just to have "Cosworth Parts" In your car ?

There are 3 case I've came accross but I'am sure they are plenty more by all means respond

-Carrillo H connecting rods

-K&N Air intake

-Gates timming belt

also nameless products for the brz?


Sorry for this Rant/stab at Cosworth. It's anoying if you ask me when a company with a brand name just slaps the logo on other company's products and charging extra instead of making innovating new products.


Again Im sure they actually make something themselves ie engine stuff? :/
