i dealt with them for random parts like lower control arm for civic, for pressure plate etc etc. I never had a problem but i remember once, i was walking out and the owner was arguing with a customer because the engine was burning oil and the owner was not willing to replace it under warranty/guarantee. The guy was PISSED ---

well I personally haven’t dealt with anyone since I don’t even have a car… but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. varun’s prices are probably because he needs to pay to import actual good products and proper shipping. sure you can save some bucks other places, but if they have a reputation of faulty goods, then be prepared besides, varun probably has a better warranty and keeps his word. ---

You get what you pay for. Sure, it’s $1000 less but if it’s fucked. What happens next? You just wasted hours of your time just to save $1000. Is it worth it to you? Personally, I’m a bit of a hypocrite myself because I didn’t buy my motor from Varun either but I needed a motor quickly and I didn’t have the money at the time. As soon as I bought the motor, it seemed sketchy and there was nothing I could do. I wished that I had bought it from Varun in the first place to be honest. It takes a lot of the worry out of the equation. ---

id buy my motorset from varun for the same reason id get a shop to swap my motor… WARRANTY!!! lets say varun wants 2500 for an sr20… he could order 1 and its blown he gets another one. its blow and finally a great one. you only paid 2500 and he has 2 parts motors… sucks for him cause hes out the shipping and buying costs but u just bought a great motor hassel free. think about it this way. you find a sr20det for $1500 and its blown. you dont get a refund and they tell u to fuck off on warrenty… now ur out $1500… better to spend the extra grand. if someone swaps it for you and it dosent run they fix it. your not scratchin your head wondering were u fucked up. pro shops have it ready to drive. no fuckin around… worth paying the cash. ---

I bought my clip from tokyo auto parts did the compression test myself, and the motor i bought was mint, haven’t seen anyone get a motor with the kilometers mine had, so all i can say is you have too look and gauge how well off the clip is no matter where or who you go to, and take the time to get one thats worth your money and time so you can enjoy it ---

Well just to let u know all those afghan jdm supplier in toronto are related to each other and have lots beside each other in japan… Some will even get parts from tiger or other jdm suppliers in toronto and sell it to who ever needs a clip or motor if they dont have it in stock. ---

Me and couple friends,we use to buy honda motors from them and We had a lot of problems and that had an end when after 5 swaps"motors from them" with fu\*\*\*d motors in one of my s13s,“I having the 5th motor blowing the con. rod out of my bottow end in the faces of one of his own mechanic in my garage” I decide not to buy motors from them,unless, it is done the compression before I get it to my home and not only "startup"warranty. There is a lot of places that can sell u good motors for a good price,but,MAKE SURE u do the compression before u get it to your home. This is only my 2cents for u to get a nice motor. ---

Tokyo Auto has some good engines and parts. I went with jcs13\_90 to find his front clip and they had a few good ones there when we went. Just make sure you do your homework and never settle for something if it don’t look right. Also, VARUN is a great seller. He would definitely make sure you get what you want and to be honest I’ve never seen anyone go out of their way to make sure of that. He’s sold me engines and parts and is always one call away for service advice or parts- +1 for VARUN…
