Default OSAKA----------LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS ON THERE WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Fraud Warning
We have received many phone calls regarding people who ordered an engine from "Osaka". It has come to our attention that an individual is demanding for money by acting like an Osaka employee. If you have any information, or believe to be one of the victims, please contact us immediately with any information you have regarding this scam artist. He has requested the transactions to be made through a bank wire. "


WHAT THE ****?!?!??!

Sounds to me like their trying to make up for some mistakes somehow ... how can someone just demand money for a motor? wouldn't it have to be someone inside the company with access to motor price quotes? thats gay

I called oaska today and I asked them if they could help me. I told them about the auto ecu, the LSD grinding noise, and also I told them I had to pay twice for shipping. He told me to call back tomarrow and he would try to help me out any way possible. I really hope they help me out because I was screwed over big time. I have my fingers crossed. Is there anybody that got a messed up engine or missing parts from osaka??? Did they help you out?? I really hope they are tring to turn around things because if they dont so long for OSAKA.

I sell JDM motors too but if i were to buy i would look into password jdm or hmotorsonline. I want to sell motors on honda-tech but i dont want to be blasted if something happens. Which i doubt will but honda-techies are very picky.

Thats because all the people on here think importers have a magic machine they can just hook up to all the motors they get and it will tell them if there is any damage. So one or two out of a hundred have a problem. If you were an importer and someone installed the engine, then a month later called and bitched about a problem, what would you say.

They don't know how the engine was driven, installed. These engines are used. Do you guys understand that. 75 engines in a crate. How many do you think are perfect being on average 5-8 years old.

I sure hope they ran good without a downpipe Japan because that's how they are sending them out. That and 5-speed swaps with auto ecu's, missing LSD's they paid for, mounts missing, cracked intake manifolds, and the fact they disappear when you go back to try and resolve your problem. There are over 10 posts complaining about Osaka and most are not complaints the motors don't run but to the fact they don't get the items they pay for or get sent incomplete swaps.

It doesn't take a "magic machine" to figure out they are scamming people.

Your kidding me? Did you not see the 10 or more threads with people saying how Osaka ripped them off before you ordered??

See this is why they need to have their banner taken down. People will think that HT supports Osaka and that they can be trusted when in reality they have ripped off tons of people and continue to!!
