Osaka JDM Motors

Hey Everyone,
I'm thinking of buying a red top clip from OsakaJDMMotors.com
I was wondering if anyone has dealt with them and if they are reliable or not. I have spoken to someone I work with and he doesn't trust them but I want a second opinion cuz I hate to pass up a good deal because of 1 persons bad luck. Any input would be great.
Thanks,
Silviaaddict

i'd be careful there. Not saying they are bad motors, but they dont mention anything about including a MAFS or ignitor chip. These are crucial for startup and will cost you a lot to just buy them on your own.

I have no idea, I have heard a couple of rip off storys from other "online jdm sellers" though. I was also wondering if anyone had any ideas on the integrity of these JDM parts sellers Such as OsakaJDMMotors and Flashoptions. Like silvia addict said, any input would be nice

i got one of my motors at osaka. i dont think its a good idea to buy from them. there motors are incomplete and my buddies turbo was crap when he got his from them. mine looked like they rolled it in the mud a couple times.

Think you guys could post some sites to go with these names. And flashoptions is an online shop that sales jdm motors, clips, and other jdm parts. www.flashoptions.com i've heard a couple stories of people sending money but getting no product in return kinda like night7racing but only a partial con :/ either way, hook us up with some links! thanks
