i got my S5 from www.torontojdm.com, 50 $ shiped to london, ontario. it was clean and in good shape, i had to rebuild as I let it sit for 1 more year and the oil controle seals got stuck but when i did have it running it ran fine and flawless..

osaka sells garbage for 13b's but there siter company japanstarmotors is good

ha ha, just went to tiger's site, all the rotaries have "complete heads"
and then i got curious, so i went and looked at some of the other motors available, the 2jz gte from the supra came with a 5spd and was only good on 94 and up models, wtf, i just left at that point

Thats funny as hell^^^^

thats becasue they take 2jz motors form soarer, and mark II and try to sesll them off as supra motors, the block and head are the same but cams, injectors, ecu are all different. also the oil pans and different, an the tranny are all 5 speed for the soarer and Mark II

Thank god for this post, i was pretty close to buying an RX off them, but just the cars in general looked shady i could just imagine the motors:scratch:
Does anyone know a good place in the Toronto area to buy an FD?

Friend of mine bought one off them. Agree 100% with Joe; shady business. Sure they'll sell you a FD for 7000 but it wont be worth it. There are still dents and forklift marks from transport. If you are in Ontario it would be better to import to BC and then pay for the transport yourself. I used Hanson's Forwarding to ship my FD and other then a radiator being stolen (which was reimbursed more then full) there wasn't any problems.
Don't buy from these shady places, if you want to get an engine spend the money and go to a reputable shop like RX-7 specialties or RPM. May seem like a hard way to justify the extra $1000 but quality speaks for itself

ill be another one to say hell no to tigerjapanese...

they just seem to have absolutely no knowledge about the products they are selling.. all i remember is calling them a few times last year and laughing at them when i was in the market for a 1jz vvt-i because some things i saw on the website i thought were maybe an honest mistake..

i dont even want to go into it from there i think you get the point from other peoples' comments..but yea if you want a good laugh call them up and ask some technical questions

I'll bump this since tiger is somehow still in business, ripping people off.

Wow you had me worried.

Thanks for the heads up though.

These pricks need to crawl under a rock somewhere and die already. I honestly
can't believe that someone hasn't beaten the holy crap out of the owner on a
botched deal yet.....

...

i call my friends in puerto rico and they have a very bad experince with those canada motors everybody say they get fuck,the motors wont last longer if the motor run the moust 1 week, but recomendation if you purchases a motor from canada you better have extra money to rebuild

so is tiger based in canada or what?

Yes their warehouse is in Toronto Ontario Canada....

I'm glad people are taking the advise being given here and not buying from Tiger.

gotcha, didn't know cuz i didn't bother looking after all the bad stories i've heard about them.

wow, i saw this thread and my friend literally 20 mins ago, ordered his sr20det from tiger, that i am being paid to do the swap on.... uh oh....

I bought a 20v 4age, from those pieces of shit and it had more sludge than any motor i had ever seen!! It had been sitting out in the rain for proboble years, The valves were stuck, it had broken throttle botties. Go to hell stupid f n tiger.

just goes to show, always do your research before making a major purchase.

Bump

my buddie got a h22 from them for his prelude, super low compression on all 4 cylinders. i almost ordered a motor from them too, until i heard that....and now this thread! im staying far away now.

just another example of why you should ALWAYS do your research before making a major purchase!

wow, that's almost exactly what I said two months ago.

THUMBS DOWN on bad sellers !

got the motor in.... doesnt crank, bad gears on cam angle sensor for sr20... mechanical part, and they say its a sensor so they dont cover it... its the teeth missing, wtf...

My brother ordered an S5 T2 motor and dropped it right in. Ran perfect then sold the car a year later. he was just one of the lucky ones I guess.
