I agree. If I was going to spend that kind of money on anything,
I would spend the few extra hundred and go through a reliable
place like passwordjdm.com

my friend bought a b16 from them. its cool. but right after he bought it, he read hella bad stuff. so id say no, but it is the cheapest place. its all a gamble anyway, but ur chances w/ osaka are probably worse than other places.

**** THEM! i ordered a b18c longblock from them, countless times i called and sent emails to verify that the block was manual, and the ECU was manual as well. they sent it to me, auto setup on the block, and auto ECU which was also OBD2 when i specifically ordered OBD1. also, they put my motor on a broken pallet, shrink wrapped it, and tied it up (loosely) with crappy nylon rope. the motor arrived with a hole in the block, a smashed oil pan, and fried pistons. i called to complain to them, even sent emails with pictures and they didnt seem to listen to what i had to say, and when i told them that i was going to get my attorney involved, they suddenly couldnt speak english anymore, only french. long story short, they suck big donkey *****, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THOSE SHADY BASTARDS!!!!!!!! spend the extra money and get a jdm conversion from someone you can trust. osaka jdm

bought an h22 from them and had no probs. I was even missing a motor mount so I called to buy one from him and he just said he would send it to me no charge. Nothing I can complain about... but I have heard some bad stories from other h-t members. Dont know what to tell you
