Default I'm thinking about opening up my own business

First I want to say that I don't know much about Hondas

I always wanted to own my own business. Just recently, I have the opportunity to do so. I want to start out small and import a few JDM motors. I have access to a 4,000sq warehouse on the SE side of Houston. My question is which one of these motors listed below do you think will be best sellers and what is the ball park price for them. Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thanks again

I get two things from this question. First is the question a serious question? And second do you not know how to do your own research on the interent? Googles a great start

Yes this is a serious question. You don't have to be a dick. If you don't want to help just move on.

On a side note I have an idea of the price range. But I still need to know which are the better sellers.

If your serious you should have all those engine you listed and more. You should also have other imported engine beside Honda.

Actually, I am very aware of Toyota, Mazda and some Nissan motors. The reason why I asked this was because I am not up to date on the Honda world.

Yes I have a partner, and he has scouts in the JDM salvage yards as we speak.

No cars for the time being. Just motors (Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda) for the time being. Maybe some front clips.

In MY AREA...this would be enough.


I do the same thing you're attempting to do.

What you should do is get a feel for the locals in your area, find out what they run, and what they buy so you can stock for them. These people will sustain ur business and u MUST take heed to them and what they are used to buying.

If the scene is THICK, you really should try and cover the entire spectrum, but from what u got up there now..at least in MY AREA, you'd be good.
