I was doing business with the owner John and I have had the worst expirience ever buying something. I'm at work now and will endulge more and explain later what I have went through. He just closed his performance shop and now only imports JDM cars.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY OR PERSON! You will regret it.

Any body here ever buy or have expirience with this guy?

I purchased a motor set from him (redtop SR) after lots of talking and we worked out a deal. I asked him to take some parts off to lower the deal and he didn't want to do it. Ok, so I needed a ECU and I asked him to throw it in, no prob. So with my luck I get his "invoice" and it's in a format I can't read. It's a ods file. I can forward it if some one can open it for me. But low and behold its missing the t25 + stock mani.

WTF! This goes back to december btw....

ALSO! He never sent an ECU, I didnt know untill later. But got on him about it and it took forever but now I have one. He said "i had it tested on a car in front of me" But after wasting time to find out it does't send a signal to the ECU.... F*uck! He just closed his shop but still sells imported cars... My luck is great. But I will be a pain in the a** to this guy for a long time until I ruin his name. /end rant

I recently had correspondence with one of his employees (who turned out to be a moron)...

I have an email from John here in my Inbox... perhaps I will mention this matter to him.

Keep us updated.

Thanx Hitman

John is a very smart guy and covers his a** for sure. But once payment is in, good luck getting any service.
