Jap Parts Specialist.com Ups and Downs

Hey Guys,

I was just looking over Jap parts specialist.com's prices and some are just too crazy.

Before buying I was wondering if any of you guys have done business with the before and what they can or do warranty their products.

Thanks alot guys, I was specificaly looking the Blitz Boost Controller.

Alex

Well i was about to buy a pfc but realized. Everything that they sell is j-spec. so some things may not work with the FD's in the states. Also, they have a strict return and warranty policy and are very very very slow on returning emails.

Like DMoneyRX-7 said, be very careful of any parts that are model year-specific, since they sell mostly J-spec products.

Non-sense. I purchased a Power FC and commander brand new for 93-95 RX7s and it works fine. I bought it off of Jappartsspecialists. I actually bought it directly from the website and not off of Ebay. Took a while to get it, but it was worth the money saved. He said that they had sent him the wrong year model Power FC, so he had to send it back and wait again for my right one. No big deal though. Trust them, just make sure that you know exactly what you are buying. Good luck.

Ok that's what i was thinking. Just 400 bucks for the BLitz ID Boost Controller seemed crazy. Even though it is J=Spec intstructions and onboard guides are always english....

Jus a lil more input and I will be satisfied..... Until someone can sell PFC and Commander for 750$ I think Jap parts specialist will still be a thought.

I got my PFC and commander from Jap Parts a few years ago for $1100 when every other place wanted $1300+. Should have waited a few years to get in on the $750 deal...
