Search has been down for awhile now. So, just thought i ask. So, has anyone ever dealt with them before. How's the quality of their JDM motors?? They claim to do leakdown and compression tests on all of their motors, which i think is a really good business practice, but rather time consuming and doubtful. They also offer free shipping. Seems really tempting. What's the catch??

How's it compared with HMotorsonline?? I know for a fact that HMO motors are very reputable. How's JDMCustoms compared to HMO? Any replies will be appreciated. Thanks.

I can tell you that some of those pictures on their main page are stolen from me. I originally took some of those pictures at Island Motors in California over 4 years ago..

Sons of bitches, **** everyone for stealing my pics and posting them as their own! I guess thats what I get for not watermarking them, but it is downright deceiving to post pictures of motors that you dont own, and saying that you do..

I just helped my friend swap in a b16a2 that he bought from them. He bought a full motorset with axles and all the extras. The motor was in good condition and rand good but they gave him the wrong ecu and a harness that was chopped up in pieces. They said they would send a new ecu and stopped answering his phone calls. Its been a month since then and no ecu. He also received a jdm obd2 b16 when he thought he bought a jdm obd1 motor. Hope that gives you some insight.

i think i made my decision already.... i haven't heard one good thing about JDMCustoms.

I'll still wait for more feedback though. But in my opinion.. i wouldn't mind paying more for better service and quality parts.

So.. HMotorsonline&gt;JDMCustoms????
