Ok.....Osaka Motors....does anybody know anything about this company? J SPEC SilEighty has it listed as a buying place, but I was just wondering if anybody has dealt with them because I know a few people that have gotten ripped off when trying to purchase an SR. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but they seem to have pretty good prices. Any help would be really appreciated!

yeah, i think i listed osakamotors in the faq for places to buy motors. my opinion, don't buy one from there unless if you can actually go to their warehouse in canada and inspect it. I remember reading on honda-tech (yes, i'm a member at honda tech. haha) that someone ordered a motor from them and quite a few parts were broken or missing. lucky for him, he lived close enough to the shop that he could drive up there. i remember him saying that he called the shop and that they appologized for the crappy motor and that if he wanted to that he could bring that motor back and come to their warehouse and pick out the one he wanted. he said that's what he did and ended up getting a great one. not really worth all the hassle though when they should just send you a good one in the first place.
but yeah, saikou is right... i say srswap :D

I've also heard that http://www.totaljdm.com/ in Vancouver BC canada is pretty decent as well.
Does anyone know how dependable ARD performance is? http://www.ardperformance.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?action=index

Yeah, the totaljdm place seems to look of quality as far as their website goes, but is that price too good to be true? Somebody holla' if you know anything about them.

yeah, i'd like to know if that place is reputable too. that kinda price for a black top would put my project way ahead of schedule.
