cruising for japanese parts
so today me and corey decide to print the japanese auto parts list from the sticky in this forum and start cruising to places hunting for parts. We end up at one in north york called Big Japanese auto parts or some crap like that. Funniest **** ever. All i gotta say is don't bother going here. I find a 90-91 si bumper that i want with the lip and lenses. Buddy says $180 and i started laughing at him. So then we notice a crx sitting there and it was a real JDM crx all busted up! right hand drive and everything. Then we notice the tons of DOHC motors they have...not too bad pricing on b16's but he wanted like $700 for a d16z6 
And then, to top it all off, this dude gets on the fork lift AND HE DRIVES IT STRAIGHT INTO A PACK OF MOTORS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OMG WE ALMOST **** OURSELVES LAUGHING....so we decided that this WAS NOT a place to buy a motor lol and left. End of story.

ya was pretty funny, buddy smoked the motor and we just laughed...guys there seemed like they were tryin to rip us off, telling luka the bumper he was looking at was jdm styles....lol which it wasnt, and then tryin to tell me that the 1 piece 4th gen sedan headlights would bolt right onto my 4th gen hatch which also wouldnt happen, only cool thing about us going there was we got to see a real jdm crx.

lol ya thats pretty hilarious, and youd think they'd be a little more cautious with their product, especailly in front of their customers considering the type of business there in, oh well its a shame potentially good motors are put into the hands of idiots like that

i go to this place all the time, mostly just to chill and look at jdm ****, the only reason why their prices are ridiculous is because they dont know the value of their products. So when u ask "how much is it" they'll be like "ummmm..uhh..600" they just throw up offers. There wuz this one guy, i think his name wuz isaac and he wuz a kool guy with alright prices.
The only thing ive bought from them is a jdm plate, paid 60 bones for it but i dont give a **** cuz its one of a kind....it says 90-91...and i have an ef *sigh* i love that plate
