The owner also guarantees your motor for 30 days, that should be enough time to fix the bugs it may have.

what motor are you trying to get?

they defently know their Honda stuff but if your looking for anything else i would rethink it. Not saying thy are bad or anything but im in the markt for an SR20 and they seriously dont know squat about SR20. They dont know what MAF sensor is, nor did they know what an ignitor chip was. MAF sensor, ok no biggy but ignitor chip... thats part of the harness that is manditory and isn't easy to score!! I went there and talked to the ppl their. It seems like they were trying to be really nice and cut me a deal (1500 for everything) and they said they would do whatever possible to get a full wiring harness for me and an ignitor chip and would call me whenthey did. It's been like a month now and no calls. I called them just a few days ago just asking about the motors in general again just to get some things straight and apparently they *think* they sell them for 1800 now, i'm like ok.. When i was there tho, it seemed like all they wante to do is talk smack about totaljdm.com. He was sayin stuff about you not getting an acutal pic on the site. w/e they will send u a pic of the actual motor if u request it. anways my point is the price isn't everything. If you can buy from a reputable shop but have to pay a little more, its worth it.

Great prices. When I went a couple of weeks ago the motors were clean as hell. I have some friends that picked up some R swaps from them. Real good prices. They even came in on Sunday to lets us look around. Saving to get my V7 Sti swap from them. Can't beat the price for it from them.

The fact that both websites being identical in content and what not got me thinking, and on a hunch, i checked both sites out on register.com and both sites are registered and owned by the same guy.

read this it'll give u a different opinion on Japan Star/ Nagano Japanese. apparently they've been spreading false rumors about totaljdm. I suspected something going on when i was at japanstar. probably 1/4th of the time we were talking, he was talking smack about totaljdm and how they are better.
