so it was originally European, then became Engineered.
I thought it was the other way around.

There is a place in Australia that has registered the EMPI name and is putting it on all sorts, Like windscreens, visors.
The original EMPI never made such items so I wonder if he is just trying to make on the name.
Its a shame really as new people who dont know what is what will read the American mags and then go and buy this stuff thinking that it is the real deal.
