RH and FO are the same company

someone claiming to be from RH came on here a few months back and caused a stir from the prices but after some research they are linked to the same company..

you want some advice? pay more money and get it from a KNOWN good source.

i cant count how many times ive seen people completley screwed over because they tried to save 300$.

I wish everyone on this board would have an avatar like wdracing and shift-down.Sorry to be off topic.

but like redline, I encourage everyone to do a search before spending money. It saves headaches in the long run.

so do i bro, some of these kids just dont realize what a huge transaction and process an engine swap is. if they save 300$ on a clip but have to replace 1000$ worth of ****, who got the better deal?

anyway, how are you liking tucson? :D

I agree, in buying the platform, motor, and aftermarket parts... you get what you pay for...

most definitly.

i recommend where i got my clip from as well as my friend, RS Imports... they aren't very big in the "scene" but we both got really great clips for a pretty good price.

their site is http://www.rsimports.vze.com

LOL...i was checking out the ^^^ mentioned site and as i was browsing all of a sudden Yahoo/Geocities came on "exceeded data limit"

hahah i was about to email em about the price for the rb25det...it has no listed price on the web site...

and guys....2g's vs 3.5g's that everyone else is selling the rb25 for is NOT a small difference....now that i know they are FlashOptions its a different matter, but dont call 1500 bucks small change

it is small change when you consider what your buying... i think most people dont put it all into perspective and get caught up in the small $$$ ... even if you spend 15k on your car, what else can you buy for that that will even compare? ... think about it.

no no i mean, if i didnt know about flashoptions and their horrible rep, 2g's for an rb25det would sound like a steal....so why would i buy it for 3500 if i dont suspect anything wrong with the 2g one?

but ya, most likely i'll buy localy so i can look at the engine before i fork over the green
