Basically I would like to know the best place to order or pick up a complete sr20 with a good warranty (atleast 90 days), any opinions wont go without consideration. ThANKYOU

But i donno ronald or whatever his name is fails at customer service, i understand that he gets a bunch of people going to his shop and never buy anything but he shouldnt assume that everyone isnt gonna buy anything. I dont recommend him but saddly thats the only importer that ive been to so i donno any others if there are any.

I got mine from Rcrew in Brisbane a few years back. Edit: These days I wouldn't buy an SR20 without seeing the swap in person first. I honestly never bought anything from JDMenginecorp, but a few of the locals (in Dallas) did and their experience was not exactly great.

b careful w/ rndfactory tho. i went there 2 get a tranny n i saw them test starting a customer's car only 2 have it leak some major oil since they 4got 2 tighten the oil filter on tight enough. plus there r some ppl who got screwed over by them big time in the past but they might b better now.

yea agreed, rndfactory's customer service ain't so great, never really replied to any of my questions or requests, and they can't give you a bargain, let alone a decent price.

i'm not gonna deal with them anymore

That's why like craigslist and finding deals on there. That's about it for me. Let someone else pay high prices, then I'll swoop when they wanna sell cheap . . .
