Ditto

 

awesome thanks for letting me know....gotta figure out the harness now

 

hmo, without a doubt, steve is the man

 

HMO!

DO NOT use totaljdm. Trust me, first hand experience. Once you place your order, you no longer exist. Also, it takes a lot longer than what they say it will. My engine that was "in stock" took me 3 months to get. I was told i'd receive a cluster for my long wait, still no cluster. My order was placed back in May '04. If you want to call and check up on your order every day with no progress, then order from them, however, I've heard good things about hmotors and would order from them if I could do it over again.

TOTALJDM = EMPTY PROMISES and HUGE HEADACHES.

 

HMO No Doubt!!!
Steve rocks/fast shipper/Good deals

 

yeah, HMO definently takes the lead in the JDM engine import scene.

 

HMO no questions asked. steve is the sh$t.

 

HMO hands down

 

In regards to Total JDM: I placed my order on July 22, 2004. I sent them a cashiers check for@ $4200 and as of today (March 6, 2004) I have not received anything from Total JDM!!! Good luck with everything!! Dave Del Villaggio

 

HMO is the **** STEVE IS THE MAN

 

If you are in MD go with http://www.importautosalvage.com. They are more expensive but they have the cleanest, most complete swaps available. Talk to Larry Jr. They are in NC so shipping takes 2 days at the most.

HMO's shipping company is crap. Somehow while in transit my tranny got cracked, my im got rupped out of the head and just about every sensor was broken off of the motor. It took me 4 months to get my money back from HMO even though they got the insurance claim money in a week.


You can also try japan Star or Noyanusa in VA and pick the motor up yourself.

 

hmo
my motor was shipped pretty fast and it was in excellent condition.

 

HMO ALL THE WAY.

 

Hmotors, Have ordered in the neighborhood of 20-30 motors and very rarely ever had a problem, and if their was a problem Steve sent out what I needed super fast and with no hassle. No one is perfect, but Hmotors is the closest to perfection of the motor suppliers I've dealt with.

 

HMO all the way man..
and i have also heard good thigns about importautosalvage
either way, both good companies

 

I would avoid totaljdm at all costs, i ordered from them in october and no engine, and they wont even send my money back, have talked to them in emails and right now they arent even technically a company, the only guy that works is the guy who answeres emails, he said there are problems between owners and employees and no one is working until a contract is reached, and so far no deal so no one is working; avoid totaljdm, im ordering through HMO as soon as i get some more money

 

I say HMO, I have bought over 2 dozen motors. Every time has been easy. Steve will take care of u....

 

HMO so far H22, b16a 2nd gen and now b18c all three very clean.
