Anyone bought anything out there. Reminds me of thepartstrader.com and I got jipped out there so I'm nervous...

Thoughts? Comments? Experiences?

Thanks!

 

personally,..i would stick to the forsale forums and buying from shops and what not,..ive heard so much shit goind on with the partstrader sellers,...even if i do buy from the forsale forum,..i still asked for vouches first

 

I would never buy anything from partstrader, etc, if it wasn't picked up

 

I've bought a few things off hondaclassifieds.com. Bought a "complete" teg brake booster and MC, turned out the MC didn't have a cap ($50 from acura). Bought a four wheel integra disk conversion, turns out one of the trailing arms was from a DB integra rather than a '94+ one-- I had already removed the stock bushings and found that my ES ones wouldn't fit into one trailing arm, while the car was in peices I had to pay out the ass to overnight the right one from Jerome Soh. (sohfast.com--expensive but good, a little slow on communication tho). I hear of people getting ripped off all the time on hondaclassifieds. A good place to browse, a bad place to buy. Also, steer clear of a guy named Chris Jew, some broad claiming to sell her boyfreind's engines, etc..

:edit: oh yeah, I also bought integra rear control arms, turns out when they were shipped they were civic ones. I emailed the dude and said, "wtf, i need to mount swaybars" and he said, "well theyre really teg ones, I just filled in the holes for my 'trick suspension setup'," I was like "...right, theyre not even remotely the same shape." --He ended up giving me my money back, but I have never had a smooth transaction on hondaclassifieds.com

THe selection isn't as good, but I'd feel much more comfortable buying from the FS/t/wtb forum here on HAN... At least there's some element of accountability. And on ebay, at least you can check their feedback.

 

also (ps)...u should get my mail soon josh let me know when u do

 

I sure will. :thumbup:

white_n_slow: thanks for the info man. The place really didn't give me a good feeling, but I thought I'd ask about it. Same thing with parts trader. The OG crew remebers my getting totally screwed out there when I bought my motor.. dam that sucked. :wtc:

Anyway, thanks again everyone for the comments. Anyone have a good experience??

 

lol even if ONE person had a good experience i wouldnt trust it ...too many bad ones

 

:werd:

 

hey im new to this site and i need some help I have a 90 honda prelude si just did a motor swap put a 2.1 si motor had a 2.0 before the car ran for 4 min and just shut off. checked for spark no spark to the coil or distributor i changed them both still the same problem no spark i did a tune up everything plugs wires cap rotor what can the problem be?

 

I checked all the fuses there fine all my ground wires good now one ? i still have the 2.0 ecu in there if i changed the motor should i change the ecu as well and put the ecu for the motor i put in? would that shut off the spark? What about the main relay could that be a problem also? does a 90 prelude have crank position sensor that may be bad and cut off the spark can someone give me any ideas
