what personal experience do you have with them jeff? usually this type of blind slander comes from one bad experience that most likely was directly due to poor communication. ever time i have dealt with them i state clearly what i am in the market for, they work with me, we go back and forth on the price, i bullshit with the jdm guy that works there, smoke a cig or 2 and leave happy with a good product and a good experience, dont be so quick to jump on the neg rep bandwagon. tisk tisk
im not on the neg rep wagon, just pointing out that Sir nick should search before posting thats all 
New owners are wierd/the one guy is a dick. I dont think dex works there anymore as i havnt been there since fall 08. besisdes grabbing axles and injectors there this year.
Edit: also that jdm guy can actually speak english pretty good compared to before!
Yea he also wanted 1200 for an itr tranny.
the jdm man is a good guy if you have the patients to deal with a language barrier lol. and the owners have always been the same. dean has always been good to me. i would recommend that the OP goes there in person during regualr business hours and talk to brian or dean in person. just be straight forward about what your looking for. its pretty simple. its like when you go in a store and buy something, and then you leave the store with your recently purchased product.

first 3 results front “type r transmission” ebay search
seems pretty average. also there is always negotiation to be had. dean has always worked with me on prices. i just dont lowball like an asshat
I thought dean sold it. The guy in there in sept. (idk his name) said he didnt own it anymore… wierd. anyways i dont give them bad rep… i go there when i cant over night parts from japan plus they used to give me a discount when i worked at albany rv bc i refered alot of ppl there. i gotta go this week actually
Ive picked up a couple motors from there. He told me that they dont separate anything but itr’s which I know isn’t true when Dean is there. I picked up a 1jz a couple weeks ago and the whole lower oil pan was cracked, So don’t make it seem like i’m a “lowballing asshat”
well youll have to thank yourself for making you sound like a lowballing asshat, because that was not how it was implied. As in, i didnt have you in mind when i wrote that nor was it directed toward you. it was a word of warning to the OP to not poorly represent himself the minute he walks through the door.
Don’t mind me man I’ve had no sleep in weeks. Anyways if they load it on a pallet for you watch how they put it on. The one guy that loads them isn’t to carefull
While this thread is here… what do they get for a 5 lug set-up down there.
Everytime I picked up something from there. There always seem to be soemthing retarded going on with what they try to give me.
B16a full swap- $1800 after tax- he had to put axels together for me(they were wrong anyways), no ecu (took 3 weeks to get), no linkage
B18b motor- asked $800 got for $700+tax- Only half the exh manifold wtf???, didn’t want me to get the harness with it(I did), no flywheel, hoses where cut when they didn’t need to come off to remove it.
I will say I never had a problem with the engines running. It just seems they are to lazy to really help you out.
Brian Williams is a douche bag, I’m just saying.
I went there with a friend to get a full 180sx rhd front clip, we put the motor from the clip into his 240 and the turbo was bad, and many other issue’s with the engine itself, he called them and askd for a dif turbo and a few parts, they told him that if he wanted that they wanted th suspension from the clip, why? because it had aftermarket and they had the other half of it and wanted to sell it, so he declined and offered to by the rest of he suspension for himself but they would not do it so they remiinded him that he forgot to take his reciept that day and that they wanted the suspension or " they had no clue of what rhd clip he was talking about" needless to say he buckled down and gave them the suspension, andthey still gave him a bad turbo, then refused to help him any further, i dunno in Maryland i used to go to ANA TRADE CORP( just another japan star) ad ive never had a bad motor or an issue, my first motori bought from there had issues 6 months later and i went there to buy a new one and he offered me to just do aswap for the bad motor , now to me thats a real business man, japan star on the other hand could care less about you they just want your cash
I bought my front EF8 CRX clip down in PA at Street Solutions. The guy was very helpful well worth the 4hr drive there to get it.
you dont remember posting this post do you?

i heard theyre good to buy subaru front bumpers off of
yeah and that was also a 8 months ago and heard a rumor that they started cleaning up there shit and wasnt sure if it was true or not
edit… also found out later on that the 2 motors that he blew, he was pushing close to 28lbs of boost on a stock DSM motor which lead to them blowing
anyone get a single cam from them? wondering about their D deries prices.
