I just wanted to share my horrible experience purchasing a motor swap from jspecauto.com

I ordered a *special* (for my swap/car) full motor swap that included pulleys, speed sensor, axles, correct custom linkage for 4th gen b16a swap, correct custom enjo (or somthing) but a real nice set of mounts with urthane inserts *paid 499 for the mounts*. Here was all my problems which were never made right with me. He blew me off and told me it wasn't his problem anymore it was mine etc etc, but anyway..

- wrong linkage, I had to cut and weld it to the correct size

- Included some home made jobby mounts that are a total piece of crap ( see pic )

- He didn't include an underdrive pulley, I bugged him everyday for 3 weeks and a month and a half later he sent me a pulley. (thats the only thing he made right)

- didn't include speed meter sensor which was listed as included in the "special" swap setup

here's the mounts he included... so nasty

so just beware because he set me back a decent amount of money and told me it was my problem now. So just giving everyone a heads up and watch out!!!

sounds like a real gem store ya found there

sorry to hear it man...that really does suck.

Seems that the quantity of poor quality online motor shops is rising...quickly at that... Better stick to research instead of just buying whats cheap...
