JAPAN2LA - Dishonest, Disrespectful - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY!
 

I'm sure he will chime in here and make another rude and immature comment, but I wanted to tell you guys to stay clear of JAPAN2LA.

I purchased 4 injectors from him and then sent them away to be cleaned and flow tested. 1 of them was beyond repair and had to be replaced. He refused to stand behind his product or offer any sort of return/refund. I was told that it was not his problem, and that if I hadnt taken the "cheap" way out I could have purchased some that were already tested so I know they worked. If that's his policy, whatever, not very good business in my opinion.

So, I had to buy a replacement and I paid extra to have it pre serviced this time to guarantee it worked. It showed up missing a seal and without any printout or documentation of it's servicing. When I asked him about it, I was treated VERY rudely. He proceeded to call me names and insult me because I expressed my dissatisfaction in his services.

He is one of the most disrespectful and rude people I have ever done business with. Acting like he's doing me some HUGE favor by selling me something. What a joke.

Again, he'll have some smart comment to make. Run a search in this feedback forum for his username and you'll find several incidences of him insulting and even threatening people for calling him out on his shady business ethics and poor attitude.

Being a jerk will catch up to you someday.

Buying used injectors is a risk if the person you are dealing with won't stand behind their product. Personally I will not sell injectors until I have sent them out for cleaning and testing.
That way no-one is inconveinced.

I have 2 incidents where I purchased used injectors that were no good. One was on this forum and the other on ebay.
The member on the forum refunded my money. I paid for the shipping charges which is fair.
The one on ebay also refunded my money minus shipping charges.
That is a fair deal when you are buying a used product that has not been tested.
You are taking a chance and should be responsible for the shipping charges.

i agree with doctor it's a chance and i have learned from building my FC that there are just some things you can't afford to skimp out on...

but i tried to do business with JAPAN2LA and had the same experience rude and unprofessional but luckily we didn't complete the transaction, sorry to hear that this happened dude

dude is very rude indeed

I realize its always a risk buying used anything. My big gripe is not that there was a problem with the injector, it happens. I just don't appreciate being called names by some jerk because I express my dissatisfaction. Just a poor overall experience.

I am absolutely sick and tired of people LIKE you!
When you contacted me about injectors I offered you 2 options:

A (USED) set of injectors for $103.00 delivered
Or
A used set that have been completely gone thru by RC Enginerring for $206.00 delivered

You were a CHEAPO and went for the $106.00


Later, atleast a monthe later you com back asking for a refund/exchange on 1 injector claiming it defective. Well, sorry....I dont warranty used injectors for this specific reason.... If you wanted a guarantee/warranty you should have taken option #2

Now the person who was disrespectful was you.. and I would post all of the B.S. that you wrote to me in PM's but I will save that AMO for later if you want to continue this circus.

As a resolution I offered you 1 replacement injector which RC totally went thru for $50.00 delivered. You paid me and I sent it to you, infact you got everything you paid me for and I owe you NOTHING. How this makes me dishonest, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND?

Your complaint now is that the injector was missing an O-ring and that I did not provide you with the print-out from RC. The O-ring....not a big deal, I have a box with about 1000 of the o-rings inside it...the print-out, and oversight on my part..yet I have it.. I would have gladly sent you the print-out and and an O-ring if you were not such a PRICK in all of the PM's you sent me.

Basically I have had enough of your B.S. and I decided to just give you a full refund to shut you up/conclude this issue. Well as usual with people like you, YOU REFUSED a FULL REFUND.

I did call you a CRYBABY and a PAIN IN THE ASS because that is exactly what you are...

You should have taken the 2nd option. That is just my opinion.
Thanks
Robert

You wish....

yup i just made that recolection myself. like 2 years of watching both post. and i didnt think they were the same person.

Nope two different people. I just took the quote from his other thread.
Thanks Robert

Wait a minute.... maybe it is possible that I am FC3S91... Hey Rob maybe I was you in one of my previous lifes????

Or maybe......maybe I am your doppelgänger

http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dicti...=doppelgangers

For those who dont know...

Anyone who starts a GGBG thread against someone when they have NOT EVEN COMPLETED a transaction with that person is bona fide PITA

YES, NEEDFD you are part of the PITA club too

FC

FC3S91/Robert has easily done $10,000 to $20,000 worth of business with me....maybe more...

Why dont you ask him how many jspec motors he has personally installed in other members and local RX7 guys cars... It might shock you..


You on the other hand asked me a million questions, had me price out shipping, had me take pics for absolutely nothing... BASICALLY WASTED MY TIME TREMEDOUSLY..

YOU PURCHASED NOTHING and then had the balls to come here and start a GGBG thread about me..

You are the absolute worst person I have ever sold NOTHGING to.. GO FIGURE

So who actually sold the injectors? This is a gg/bg thread on Japan2LA, but Fc3s91 jumps in with, "...I decided to just give you a full refund..." What's going on?

HanknMorgan you must be a real piece of work. I know for a fact Japan2La sends all of his injectors to RCEngeneering in Torrance Ca. In fact he just called me the other day to inform me that a couple of the injectors I sent to him were deemed unservicable by RCEngeneering. Did I cry and complain and blame J2LA for crappy injectors. No. I bought some NEW ones. It's not his fault that RCEngeneering can't make magic with shot injectors. Last year I bought 3 engines from J2LA and thousands in other parts. He is a stand up guy and ALWAYS treats people with respect. However, even the niscest person, J2LA, can get frustrated and pissed when people, you, treat him with disrespect. When you were an idiot and A-hole to him, did you expect him to just sit there and take your shite. Even Starbucks has a right-to-refuse service to rude customers. Japan2LA is the niscest person I know and am very glad to have met him. Without his help and guidance I'd still be some clueless RX7 owner with a car that breaks down every week. Sound familiar HanknMorgan. You recieve what you give.
Damon

I quoted it from his other thread.
Thanks Robert

haha stop hijacking the thread :rlaugh: don't mind me, I just love pissing you guys off

Just to chime in here, Japan2La is a great seller and nobody should take any of this clowns thread seriously, whoever it may be that he is talking about.

I purchased a jspec tranny from him and it works great! He even delivered it to my house! great guy, great seller! end of story.

name calling is respectful?

Maybe if I call you some names you find some business of your own to tend to...

No seriously, dont you have something better to do?? I remember you having a P.O.S FD with a blown motor.... Still trying to save up money for a motor or did mommy let you charge it on her credit card??

Since this is questioning japan2LA's rep and I've done business with him, I will chime in. I have had no problems whatsoever with him! I've purchased a JDM trans, and had him special order parts from Japan (In the process of having him order some more parts from Japan). Everything went smoothe and I would definately continue doing business with him.

maybe you should stfu and become a real business person and handle shit professionally.

youre better fit as a shit talker than a seller
im local too..and good thing i never did business with you.
im sure you would say the same, but thats because youre not a real salesperson, you just talk shit back when people have problems.
theres never one time you handled a bad customer and had the case settled without bitching and whining reguardless if the buyer was wrong or right.

Absolute ignorance

Since he claims I was disrespectful and that I am dishonest, I will post all of my responses to his PM's so you all can decide IF I treated this guy with respect until I decided ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH.

Rx7 550cc Injectors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello. I purchased a set of 4 rx7 550cc injectors from you about a month ago. I sent them off to have them professionally cleaned and flowed and one of them is not working correctly. It is flowing inconsistently and is considerably "off" from the other 3 which are flowing perfectly after new parts and cleaning. I need to know what I should do about having the faulty one replaced. Thank you.

-Hank

My response

Hank, I do not offer any warranty on used injectors. If you need another I can replace it but it will cost you $25.00.


I would just be sending you another used injector.

or

for $50.00 I will send one injector over to RC enginerring have it cleaned patterned and tested, new pintle cap and o-rings..


^I cant post his response to this because It pissed me off so much I deleted it..

Here is what I wrote him after his response... He said something about it was my fault and that he wasted $50.00 having the one faulty injector serviced.. This made no sense tome...why would whoever he had service the injector charge him $50.00 when the injector tested faulty?

Here is my response:
Re: Rx7 550cc Injectors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am sure, I offered you the same choice as I always offer EVERYONE.

$103.00 shipped for a used set.

OR

$206.00 for a set that have been freshly gone thru by RC Enginerring (with this option, RC could catch a bad injector and I could handle the issue before the buyer gets the part) And when this does happen, They dont charge me for the service when an injector is defective..

Who cleaned them? why would they charge for a cleaning when the injector is not working correctly?

Yet you and many other people go for the cheap way out which is a gamble. These injectors are not injectors I have ever used, they all come out of low mile Jspec motors which I break down for parts...so I CAN NOT guarntee/warranty if I dont first have them checked over by RC..


If you would have taken the second choice we would not have this problem now..

Also, 100.00 for 4 injectors is CHEAP and I do not make money on them, selling for $100.00 for 4 is selling at a loss..

After my response, a few days passed and out of the blue he sends me $50.00 thru paypal. I then got a PM from him saying he was sorry and that he wanted to take my offer for the $50.00 injector whic would be serviced by RC.

I sent the injector to him

THEN he came back with more

Again, I have delted his response because what he wrote continued to piss me off more..

Here is what I then PM'ed him:
Re: Rx7 550cc Injectors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried my best to make this right for you..... Gone out of my way tremendously when I dont have to.

Again he responded but I have delted his PM

And this is where I could not take it anymore:

Re: Rx7 550cc Injectors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bro you are a major crybaby.. and I am doing you a favor by telling you so

I do not hide behind the anonymity of internet. Anything I type here you can best believe I will tell you to your face.

Moreover, the fact that you dont even want a refund proves my interpretation of you. Crybaby and a PITA.

You seem to have some sort of personality glitch not to mention a passive aggressive disorder...and I really mean this!


I hope things get better for you...

oops I guess I called him a CRYBABY before I called him a PITA..my bad...

Then I wrote this:

Re: Rx7 550cc Injectors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

God Damn you are a PAIN IN THE ASS.

Send the injector back and I will refund your $50.00 thru paypal.

and he responded:

Real professional man. I used to call people names in middle school, but then I grew up. That's the beauty of the internet I guess. You can engage in shady business practices and be rude without any fear of ever seeing the other person. I have to be honest. I dont trust you. I am not sending anything to you without my refund first. I guess I just thought maybe you actually cared what your customers think. I guess not, and thats sad. Treating people like that will hurt your business in the long run. I have learned my lesson. Good luck.

^In his above PM response he CLEARLY REFUSES MY OFFER FOR A REFUND... and i never realized that call a person a PAIN IN THE ASS was calling him "NAMES"

:So you can see I tried my best to make this work and only got stupid with him once he KEPT ON AND ON AND ON...

I am missing some of his PM responses so the full effect is not here.... Maybe he will post what he wrote like I have but I doubt it!

Then next time actually use quotes, it made it look like he was using two accounts and forgot which one he was on.

So for those who think I am a jerk and say " I will never do business you or I am glad I never purchased anything for you" pass judgement if you must.... Your option is your right.....

I am a fair person and I go out of my way time after time to help members here... but I am not perfect and I do screw up.....and everyone has their breaking point. I can only take so much abuse and B.S.

If you treat me with respect you can count on the fact that I will do the same...

At night, before I go to sleep.... when I have a free minute to reflect on the days end, I feel pretty damn good about myself..

Ok people need to understand when they deal with used merchandise that has no warante or gurantee of being in perfect condition that they get what they get. I am almost thinking of buying something from JAPAN2LA so I can post him as a good guy. You can't say someone does bad business when they did exactly what they should do. You chose not to get the services part and just go cheap. Just buy another injection or take him up on the deal. geez.

Since Japan2LA is getting slammed I will put in my word. I've have nothing but flawless, and perfect transactions with this guy. If my personal friends who own shops don't have the parts, he is 1st on my list. I for one am very skeptical of anyone on the net, and i'm damn tired of getting ripped off.

actually JAPAN2LA I think I might purchase something from you ha ha.

++ for Japan2LA.

Purchased a whole 13BRE longblock from him. Gave me a deal on shipping and also some motor mounts for my FC. Communication was never a problem and he was prompt on answering my questions thru PM.

I don't understand why people are passing judgement on a good seller. Especially when you don't have any experiences with him. Get over your high horse. The customer/buyer ISN'T always right. A seller can only bend over so much.

I bought a rolling FD from Japan2LA, and it was just as he said, since I have done business with him, and when it comes to selling something used, he is very quick to tell you if he hasn't tested it. When buying a used, untested part, that's your gamble. I just bought a full gauge cluster, hood and everything, for a very very good price, he said he had no way to test it, luckily for me it worked and I got a great deal, but if it didn't, you think I'm gonna come back and ask for my money back. Not after he made it very clear it hasn't been tested before I buy. He's been very honest in the past with me, and always given me great prices and great business. Don't let any of this deter you from doing business with him, as he really is a good businessman.

I fail too see the need for name calling, are we in high school or somthing. If you portray yourself as a business then you should act like it. This really has nothing to do with the thread as i know little of what really happened, just an overall general comment about the poeple on this sitet that fall into that catogory. So he isa dissatifiec custormer, big deal. Do you call everyone names who you have problems with. I find that problems like this ussually occure due to over promising and under providing. Better to be extreamly open about what you have, and you most likely were. Perhaps you just have to different deffinitions of used.

Now I will prolly be yelled at and what not.

Stuck in an airport with nothing to do........

dam right

back to thread, i don't see any problem with the way he does business. the buyer was fully aware that the injectors were not tested, and decided to take the cheap route. and when one of them doesn't work, well tough shit.

I agree, but what use is name calling? This is business and should retain our professionalism in any case. All that does it ruin your credibility and character, as well as not help the situation in any way. Read my thread a bit more carefully and you may notice that.

i honestly don't see a problem. the buyer is the one who created a bad seller thread. jpn2la retaliated, big deal.. :dunno:

if your a seller/vendor, theres better ways then to retaliate and make things worse
and of course there will be those people who ask stupid questions, ask for pricing, then flake. i know how that feels, and it sucks wasting your time on that. but thats just part of daily business, you cant get a sale out of everyone.
take ramy as an example, ive been here for a while and i dont recall ever seeing a bad thread on him, and even if there was, im sure they took care of it and the thread got deleted right away. simple as that

theres no need for more arguing over stupid ass shit

I'm not one to usually go out of my way to badmouth anyone, and I don't think I've ever done so in the past with anyone on this forum, but hearing some of these complaints reminded me of what an abssolutely lousy experience I had in dealing with Brian (JAPAN2LA). Maybe his prices and parts availability are great, but his bad attitude and the fact that he can stink of bullshit makes dealing with him, as far as I'm concerned, not even worth a first thought . The funny thing about this guy is that he always has an excuse (no matter how lame) for EVERYTHING, and he doesn't fess up to his actions like a mature individual. Take some responsibility man.

In my case, about a year ago, we had agreed to come and pick up a rear subframe and suspension from him on a Saturday, we had agreed on a price, I made arrangements to borrow a truck from a friend from 80 miles away, and then when I contacted him Thursday night to see what time he would be at his shop, he tells me he sold it. Gee, that was a bit shady (but I was cool with it) , but it would have been nice of him to at least CONTACT me and told me he changed his mind and sold the thing. Fine. All I needed at that point was a spare rear lower control arm for a test bushing install, so he told me to come by the following Friday to pick one up. I called this guy at 2 .p.m. Friday, he tells me he's at work and that we will meet up right after work. Being that I had to be in his area for a doctors appointment, when I was done I called him at least 5 times over a 3 hour period in the late afternoon, waiting in this guy's neighboorhood, never to hear from him. After I PM him on the forum three days later he responded with the excuse that he decided, that very Friday afternoon, to go out of town for a weekend 'getaway.' Way to be an ass, man. Needless to say, his 'excuse' made no mention of why he couldnt even pick up his cell phone and say what the deal was. Note the 'nerve' of the guy in a post in this very thread where he accuses someone of wasting his time.

I didn't get ripped off in any way, I just lost some time, so it was really no sweat. But in the bigger picture, I can see his attitude spilling over and having less benign consequences in dealings with individuals who or not local, who have money involved, who might have time constraints, or who might not receieve things as promised (Brian's word, in my opinion, isn't woth shit). To put the icing on the cake, after a deal goes south he'll probably make a childish attempt in the end to try and twist the story 180 degrees, to erase any of his wrongdoings, and pin the deal failure on the other party. Brian, that doesn't work with most people, it's very transparent, and hopefully people on this forum aren't hard pressed enough for a good deal on stock parts to have to deal with an annoying parts peddler like yourself.

I would say this is streching the truth just a little.

HOW many times are you going to post this old ass story? The parts you wanted to buy got sold to the person who came up with the money 1st. I gave you a chance to buy the parts, here is what you did: asked me to break the set so that you could buy just the stuff you wanted when I CLEARLY said it was a package deal, then you tried to negoitate a lower price and then stalled on making payment once we did agree on the price... I told you to make payment via paypal to secure the deal, you did not want to do this...and I said I was not holding parts for you unless you paid me... YOU DID NOT PAY ME... The parts you were interested in where of the high demand /rare/ hard to find type.... and someone else came up with the money before you did... WHY IS THIS MY FAULT?

And yes, I am not always avaiable to answer my phone, alot of times I turn it off.... and yes I take weekend vacations from time to time... and yes you were in my area and I was not around so we never linked up.... All of which in your EYES IS MY fault and because of this I AM THE BAD GUY...

You have been mad about this FOR SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long.... Dont you think its time to let it go??? I have...

Well the plan with you was for sure going to be me going out of my way to help you...please agree with me on this....Shipping a WINDSHIELD in not by any means a normal or easy transaction..... Yet we never closed the deal.. and correct me if I am wrong about what went down..


You wanted parts that required quite a bit a arrangement...included getting other professionals involved...right... I was busy as usual and just did not have a chance to get all the people involved scheduled to make it happen.. Time went pass and I was still willing to do the deal with you..but again I was busy and the timing was just not there yet..


you Pm'ed me and emailed me and I was not able to get back with you fast enough or to your approval... You then got pissed off and send me some rather NASTY messages.... Which worked as they got my attention, and they got me pissed off and I spoke up about them.... and that is where that deal is currently still standing..

You obviously are still in need of those parts as I have seen you post WTB ads on the website in hopes to get them..

I still have the parts and if you want to try again with me the deal is still on the table....AND I have alot more time on my hands so it might just work out this time...

Its up to you...

Well to be honest with you it really surprised me when you agreed to go through the trouble of removing and shipping a windshield. I was willing to be patient to get such a good deal but when i kept getting the "next weekend" comments i got a little upset.

The first PM i sent you was on 12/1/06 and the last e-mail i got (where you suggested i look else ware) was on 1/29/2007 i don't think thats fast enough for anyones approval;). I was willing to wait though (no choice) but when you stopped replying to me i did get a bit testy thinking that you had blown me off after i patiently waited for almost two months.

Yes i do still need the windshield. If you still want to sell it to me let me know.

Thanks
Allen

WOW, you wasted his time because he was in your area but you werent available to meet him. And your an ass for it!

Bad experience = Cheap bastard/Cry baby

Good experience = Knows what they want, and pays for it!

If you do a search, you will see that this is the first time I have ever posted this story. Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, but I keep seeing threads about you painting the same picture over and over again, and I thought it was appropriate that I chime in. Of course, you respond with the requisite sequence of lies to change the story. You never even mentioned Paypal ever, since I was local I was bringing you cash. That's a small lie on your part. I did not try to negotiote a lower price on the rear suspension, as it was very fair as it was. I did initially ask you to part out the control arm, but then we agreedI would buy the whole rear. All this small stuff doesn't matter, but your attitude as whole as a vendor does.

"WHY IS THIS MY FAULT."...you should print that on your business cards.

Unlike many people on car forums, I'm sure JAPAN2LA doesn't try so scam people. His problem is his attitiude in that he thinks he is going people favors, and so selfishly jerks them along, sometimes feeding them BS and creating a major hassle. Hassles impart a cost on people. Anyways, I'm sure one could do worse with other vendors.

Yes Allen, the same deal is on the table.. I will PM you about..
