local jdm motor importers?
 

just wondering how many there are here in washington. i already checked out corksport (high prices) and dragdriftautox.com but they have been really shady with me and took 2 weeks for them just to say they dont have any in stock right then. are there any more than that and also are there any non local ones that you like to use more?

i picked up an engine from corksport. haven't swapped it in yet but it is C-L-E-A-N. i know this doesn't say anything about whether it will have good compression, but those shady ebay companies that sell dirty engines usually come up bad so. . . .

Fairlady Motors 253-565-9823

I get rotary clips every once in awhile.

Ok, first what type of setup are you looking for? Clip? or just engine?

I did business with drag drift autox and you are right they are a little shady. I would not do business with them again. There are just too many other importers that are way more worth your time.

A couple more are:
a-1 engines
and Tino out in tumwater...can't remember the name of his shop right now.

I don't understand how people think that our (CorkSport) prices are high... $1207 for an S4, and $1157 for an S5, for a compression checked S4 Jspec isn't that bad at all. Better than taking a gamble off ebay.


If you change your mind I have two S4 Jspecs sitting on the shop floor right now just waiting for a loving home.

More for an S4? Why is that?

They have gotten increasingly harder for me to get ahold of in decent shape, and we pay more for them (for the same reason I would assume).

huh, thanks for the information.

whats the down side on a jspec s/4 compared to a jspec s/5?

i still want the engine harness ecu and tranny so i guess a front clip but i dont want all that other suff. but i was thinking ddx because its 1500 or 1675 after tax with all that included. i would go with just the motor but i then have to search for everything else piece by piece

get me the harness and ecu and ill claim that ish

a one japanese engines in auburn WA, 950 long block engine, but no trany, for s5 and s4 engines you gotta check what they have in stock.

then jeffs automotive in southhill, told me they jdm long blocks from time to time, from a company he trusts, and he said they were around 800-900

i wouldnt trust Jeff as far as i could throw him
he is knowledgeable about 7's but the guy is an asshole and his prices are extremely high for his cars that he has im talking like 7K for a S4 TII with more than a 100K on the orginal motor
ive talked to the guy before as have a couple of my 7 owning friends and all of us have gotten nothing but bad vibes from the guy
cant really explain it just a gut feeling i have that hes not such a great guy

Hi,

I'm Jeff from Jeff's Auto.

I've decided to set a few things straight.

I am a one person business, that walks 134ft to work almost everyday. My business is mostly repair & maintenence of all Mazda's. My business is also about a third about road racing.

I also have a dealers licence, and occasonally sell a car (unless you talk to my wife, she says I never sell anything).

I'm a bit more of an arrogent asshole than an assshole. If you had won 1 road race championship, or 13 road race championships like I have, then I might think of you as one too.

I've only had one S4 TII for sale and by the way, it still is for sale. I bought it in 1988 with 11K on it. It now has under 27K original miles and I want "10K" for it. If it does not sell, oh well!

I no longer work on any hy-bred Mazda's, or any other hermaphrodite like Mazda's, as I like to call them. So like, if you put a 2nd gen motor into your 1st gen, and you can't get it to run right, please don't bring it to me.

So I quess Jeff :

"He also doesnt know shit about fuel injection, and way over prices hsi parts. He has been a complete asshole to many people on the forum. The last FD he got in sat for 3 months before the owner complained, and jeff finally admitted he didnt know how to work on them." Like I think I suggested, you might want to look into a stand alone or a carberator setup. Or did you find someone else to fix it?

I have new and used parts for sale. I'm a dealer for Racing Beat, Microtech, and many more. My prices are not low and they are not the high. They are fair, and by the way, I will happily give quotes. Last time I looked, profit was not a dirty word or I, or you, or your parents would not be working.

As far as trust goes, it is earned! Maybe only my regular customers or road racers friends trust me. Thats fine with me!

If some of you got bad vibes from me, it was likely I was busy as hell
or my psychic reader ball was saying bullshit or both.

By the way it is the same psychic reader ball I use to diagnose your problems for free, over the phone.

As I hope you all know "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one".

I just hope that everyone loves his/her careers as much as I do.

RX7's forever.

Jeff

your just jelious he wont sell any of you cheap bastards cars for a steal price.
but so am i haha..... but if he prices a t2 at 7K its so u quit coming there tring to bug him to sell it.......

You suggested a carburator setup for a FD?!?!

Theres nothing more that needs to be said here... fucking WOW

The fuel inj "you" were talking about was the one in your car. A first gen with an FC motor in it, you could not get running right. I guess you ended up putting a carb on it after all

Jeff

Ps I have 2 Fd's how about you Horn

Excuse ME? You flooded the car, deflooded it then set the timing 180 degrees OFF.

You wanna talk shit? You may have 2 FD's but ive never had a used car dealer license suspended from me either...

btw were done here, you want to argue, send it to a PM

First please explain to me how you set the timing 180 out in a Rotary?

Do you have a dealers licence?

By the way which shop fixed your Fuel Injection in your first Gen?

I went carb, but later traced down the problme which was shorted out wired going to the n350 pressure sensor. You couldnt even diagnose a simple wiring problem that I learned how to do after just a week of school.

Ive never had a dealer license, but obviously somebody thought it would be a good idea to take YOURS away.

ANd how to time a rotary 180 degrees off? You simply time it to the rear rotor like you must have. the only reason the car still ran is because of the second gens wasted spark system.

Roflol,

You brought your car to me, as I stated above, I no longer work on hy-bryds. I hate chasing other peoples F-ups.

I dont remember taking out your crank angle sensor, after all you were/are the expert!

By the way which shop fixed your Fuel Injection in your first Gen?

If I knew as much as you I'd have my own Mazda shop. I guess I do.

How old were you in 1991. Maybe thats the problem here.

I think the state took my license away in 1990-1 for not having a "proper" place of business for a retail dealer license.

If you want to talk with me from now on, we can do it face to face.

Maybe you could borrow your parents car to drive down here.

Have a nice day.

you "THINK" the state took your license away for that? Gee I dont know about you, but im pretty sure Id rememeber what I got my dealer license taken away for. Further more you would never admit the real reason while you got your license taken away on here, it makes no sence.

You saying you didnt take the crank angle sensor out is a blatent LIE.

I didnt take it to a shop to get the fuel injection fixed, I diagnosed the problem myself.

Obviously you dont know anything newer than 1985 which is why fuel injection scares you so much. Would you know what a DVOM was if someone threw one at your face?

Why dont we bring up another one of your PROBLEMS. I whlie ago I heard from a VERY reliable source (name will be protected on here) that you liked to cheat people out of limited slip differentials. You or your asistant, would swap the diff with an open diff while the owner was away.

I thought this hard to belive but an old lady was recently taken advantage of by hayes rotary and a good friend of mine bought the car. It was a GSL and had a Jeff's automotive sticker... and it had no LSD. What kind of douchebag rips off an old woman? Obviously YOU.

I met a guy in kent with a white FC with black rims that told me he bought an engine from you. Then he told me a price, 7K!!! FOR A STOCK PORT! You enjoy taking advantage of people dont you? A freakin s4 N/A block...

Do a search for your buisness on this forum and you will see the problems everybody has with you.

Lastly... you called me out over the internet.. how old are you 14? Grow up. If you cant handle the talk then please dont return.
