Where to order JDM motor?

s1ngletracker · 12-24-2005

Hey,

So it turns out my 2G may need a new motor, i'm thinking 6 bolt. Anyone here have any good/bad experiences with places that sell/ship JDM motors?

I found this:

its a place to start, but I figured i'd get some opinions.

Anyone?

Well, my dad got a motor for his civic, and had great service from Rising Sun Motors in California.

Why order a JDM when the US-spec ones are just as good and quite possibly in better condition? Or you could just have either yours or a 6-bolt rebuilt.

Thanks! I put in a price quote request. Note, this is one of the importers on RRE's list.

Was he able to get it delivered to a residence or did it have to go to a business?

I would, I just didnt think that I'd be able to find a 6 bolt motor that didn't need a rebuild locally. Know of any?

I don't want another 7 bolt. And if I had to get one rebuilt, do you know how much it would cost? I suppose I could do it myself, just am pretty busy with my other project car already.

They dropped it off right on our driveway next the the garage

Good service. But those guys are right, why not find a running motor locally?

FYI, nearly any motor you'd get overseas could use a rebuild. You might as well buy a core motor, and have it built. That way you know its good.
