The problem is possibly going to be taken care of at no cost to me. Will repost when it's all said and done.

Theres a reason nobody uses TigerJapan anymore. Theyve ripped off all kinds of people over the years.

Mike Yuonos offered to send me a new knock sensor at a "discount price" of like 5 dollars less, for that order. I will never recommend them or use them again, at this point I would feel like a complete dick for telling a friend or customer to order from TJ.

that sucks man, but jw, but why if the first motor you ordered from them was all messed up, would you order another one from them??

Re: Ordered a motor from TigerJapanese and got...

I'm being told by a friend to start a dispute with paypal to freeze the funds I sent them...should I do this? I would feel kinda shitty doing this when the manager/whoever at TJ hasn't even had a chance to offer me a resolution or review my claim, though they did severely screw me on this deal.

Re: Ordered a motor from TigerJapanese and got...

True, but it's not actually the condition that is the problem...it's the wrong product. The condition just adds to the mess.

Thus his reasoning for asking for a specific year and with the knock sensor.

What they gave him was the 96-98 B20B.

Re: Ordered a motor from TigerJapanese and got...

Tiger Japanese sucks period! I ordered a d16 zc vtec from them last summer. First off they call me back and told me that they didnt have one in stock so i settled on a d15b vtec. Well 1 week later i got the motor and it was a zc vtec

, i started unwrapping it to find a cracked valve cover, bent alt. pulley, cracked timing belt cover, smashed oil pan and they also sent me a dx trans and not a ex/si trans like they told me over the phone 2 different times.

I started a post then about it on here and when i called to see why i got a **** motor they wouldnt even talk to me intil i deleted my post on honda-tech!
