Not to be confused with AS Performance, who do a great job! :10:

Take a look at this thread over on scoobynet:

General background.... guy in Sweden pays £4700 for a JDM EJ207 engine and 6spd box/diff etc from a low miles mint car. Trader said engine runs great and can be heard running.
The parts arrive in Sweden and it looks like they are from a tsunami damaged vehicle from Japan. Its obviously never been started in the UK, let alone 'heard running' :roll: Worth a read.... I've copied a few photos below. The chap in Sweden got a part refund which he was happy with, as he kept the parts (some could be salvaged).

Holy shizz that's bad, totally a minter mate honest :getmecoat:

Yeah I've been keeping an eye on that thread, tsunami car deffo

Salt water corrosion fail. Why do people think they can get away with selling stuff like this.

They said it had run before shipping !

Unless the ship it came over on sank it looks dubious to me or perhaps a complete mix up and he has been sent the wrong one

I know, what a complete load of rollocks!

I've tried to buy bits for the R from them, customer service was shocking, priced went up/down massively depending on who I spoke too!

Wouldn't use them myself as prices are shockingly high .

Omg...what a horrible thing to do...I really cant believe how some people sleep at night...bastards I feel for the guy.

oh dear:doubledown:

definately NOT anything to do with us...........looks a nightmare

Thanks for the chat and advice this morning Alyn ;)



That above looks like a total nightmare., should have been a full refund really.
