they have had poor service and poor quality engines in the past, but they are now under new management. personally, i dont trust them, even though they are a han sponsor. i've read the horror stories.

Osaka has scammed MANY people.
Please don't buy from them. There are many accounts of peoples' bad experiences with them on H-T, probably on HAN, and other sites.
Stay away.
Password JDM does a decent job. My roommate got a front clip (minus the body panels) from them with little hassle. The key to dealing with these people is remembering to stay on top of them, as they all seem to be a bit flakey/scatterbrained and forget to follow through on the dates they set for 'delivery'.
Osaka is just about as bad as buying an engine on ebay.

Has anyone else have delt with Password JDM?? I was considering ordering a front end clip for the 88-91 hatch wit the b16a in it from www.flashoptions.com but they looked to good to be tru and when I called them to talk to someone the phone number was disconnected!!! So I am looking for a complete B16a swap...I don't need the mounts being that I got custom fabricated mounts already I just want a b16a engine, tranny, ecu, harness, shift linkage. I have delt with Hmotors before for customers and have had good experiences but I need this engine for myself (being my old one is totaled) So I am looking to pay a good (cheap) price but I also want a place I can trust. If I can get cheap and good quality it would be great but most likely it won't happen... So I am basically looking for a place wit a outstanding rep. and good quality engines and maybe a good warrenty. Thanks
