Yeah I know a few local lads who have used them, had no problems. Don't always seem to be the cheapest, but probably better quality.

I phoned up loads of people to "enquire" about the cars for sale, and all (about 7 of them) have been none enthusiastic to try and sell me the car. this chap on the other hand, was more than willing to answer my questions.
The car has had recent sti block, needs front pads, and is over boosting in cold weather?
cheers

My brother in law has bought 5 cars off them altogether, 4 Evos And his current Skyline. No problems at all and nice to do buisness with. Have a look at their 800bhp Evo thats for sale
As said they are'nt the cheapest bet the quality of their cars are top notch

The only reason I caqn think of that you got nothing back is because it is probably a fresh import.

I bought my first Evo from DCY (Barry I think his name was) found them excellent, that car came with a full history, although it was in Japanese!

i would hope people would do the same if i was in your position!i know the car has been sat outside all the time its been off the road so i would wonder about rust i think it was good when i last saw it but that was some time ago,end of the day if your happy with it when you see it and it looks like there not hiding anything might be a good motor!

as far as i can tell looking at the pictures the bonnet doesnt fit correctly and the rear is sitting lower than the frountend of the day its a L reg import and its been used on uk roads for 5 years before it was stood around.

a mate of mine late last year got a 1999/2000 reg uk turbo from london for £3000 ish with mods with similar milage...makes you think
