My friend bought a set of rota wheels there with tires, came quick, and he had no problems.

I got a Neuspeed SS from them that didn't fit right and so I had to grind out a larger slot on it. Probably Neuspeed's fault, but still . . .

You'll be safe ordering from them, but don't get anything installed there. I don't know if it's the same mechanic there now, but the ones who did work on my old civic fucked up bad.

whats they do wrong ?

Well I bought and installed a jrsc for my '99 EX there. The mechanic that installed it didn't use a new IM gasket, but liquid gasket. The liquid gasket didn't hold so coolant was leaking into cylinder 4. Being suspicious of their work, I checked to see if they installed an upgraded fuel pump that I also ordered. I read that an upgraded fuel pump has a noticeably louder hum, yet it sounded stock. When I pulled the pump, I was not surprised to see it was still stock. When I went back there to confront the owner, he tried to convince me that JR sold some "Honda" pumps as upgrades. I wasn't going to take that as an answer and he agreed to put in a walbro pump. He also blamed it on the mechanic that installed the jrsc, saying he was lazy and wasn't installing pumps and he didn't know the mechanic was doing that. By this time the mechanic had already quit.

A new mechanic was working there when I brought it back to have the coolant leak fixed, but instead changing the gasket they insisted on using some sealant in the coolant. It was some brown crap that made the coolant look like diarhea.

Did I mention a week after the JRSC was installed, the fuel rail almost fell off? It was not tightened enough so one side worked itself loose and gas was gushing out at the injector/rail. My brother found out when he was driving to work and it was bogging. A coworker saw him pull into the parking lot with a trail of gas following.

i would order from somewhere else.

i tried to place an order with them about a year ago, and no employee that i spoke with could even speak or understand english. they were very rude, and i did not feel comfortable giving them my credit card number. the whole thing felt really shady, like i was dealing with people in some back alley, very unprofessional and i did not trust them with my order, whatsoever.

i chose to order my parts from summit and was very happy with their service, very professional, and high quality.
