So seriously this question must be answered. Who markets tigerjapanese? The first questions everyone seems to ask on GTRC and SON is what people think of TigerJapanese. Can we pitch for a banner that says, “Tiger Japanese sucks, stop asking?” ---

I have bought 3 straightneck KLZE motors from Tiger, but I spent a couple hours looking through their pile of "KLZE"s for each one. They opened the oil fill cap and sprayed it with a water hose as I stood there with a 😮 look on my face. If you know what you are looking for and you actually go there you can score a mint motor. If you get one shipped you will be disappointed, they have fucked many people through shipped motors - especially to the states where it isnt worth paying the shipping to return it. ---

they suck, they try to sell salvage titled vehicles to unsuspecting buyers. I rememeber a guy on GTRC buying a skyline for 8g than the engine fucked up 12 hrs later and he had to pay a good 20g to get the car in good condition again. Save yourself the trouble and ignore those fuckers… the sooner they go out of business the better. This thread should be stickied or a new one to warn the new drivers getting into the 240 community about those bitches ---

Stay away from Tiger. Simple. Find another importer. Or shop around. Take you time, and you will win. Try Riworx. Amazing quality parts and service. ---

Yeah I have had a long talk with the mechanics at tiger and a lot of the cars have twisted frame rails, been in serious accidents, have been put together with garbage parts, def have more km’s then they say. They have the odd nice cars though, and hell can you ever negotiate with those guys, When I went I checked out a gtr he said he was asking $12,500 I talked him down to $7000 in about a minute. They may be garbage cars for the most part but they are decent price, if you know what ur doing then it could be worth a shot. I say take your time and shop in quebec lol… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tigerjapanese/110746.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tigerjapanese/110746.md?page=3)
