It seems that I talk to at least one person every week that has bought an engine from tigerjapanese and either:
1. Was sold as having a complete harness and ECU, and instead has a cut harness or NO harness at all 2. Is not the right engine 3. Is completely locked up and needs a full rebuild Apparently they have absolutely no customer service as well, if you have a problem, they will NOT help you. At all. Jarco was the best importer in the US, until they came under the scrutiny of the EPA this past year and stopped importing JDM engines altogether. At this present time, I don't have any importer that's a favorite really. I'm working on it though. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Nov 19, 2008 - 5:00 PM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
