JT Imports is closed, though.

http://www.jappartsspecialist.com sells them for around $820-830 or so with commander. I bought mine from them off Ebay - SUPER quick shipping and great communication, no probs. They sell direct and on Ebay, BTW.

The only prob with buying from Japan is you don't get a warranty. But, the PowerFC's are pretty hardy.

I would go with rx7.com or Gotham if they will match price. Both are very dependable shops.

I bought from them also. I would check both their Ebay store and their own website. When I bought mine, I originally found them on Ebay and checked their site and had it $20 cheaper on his site.. Few months later I was just bumming on the site and it was a little bit higher than their Ebay store. I got mine durring their Christmas special for $855 shipped.

Is it really worth the extra money to get it from a shop w/ the 1 year warranty from apex'i or just go with the imported units w/o the warranty or support from a shop?

Considering how much damage a new ecu can do I've decided to go with the rx7.com pfc with support and warranty as soon as I have the money. But then I'm planning to use whatever map they upload for my mild mods (dp,cb,intake) instead of having it tuned right away. If I was having it tuned on my car or was more knowledgeable (can't even spell it right now) myself, I'd go for one of the cheap, straight from japan, options.
