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
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

These ****** 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.....

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

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

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.
