Default www.rimsandthings.com- anyone bought from them?

I was looking at their engine swaps and stuff, they had good prices I thought, so I was asking before I ordered anything from them.

This is what I thought about getting:
R&T Motor Sports - JDM, JDM Engines, JDM Engine, JDM Motors, JDM Motor

Thanks in adavnce for any info.

My engine is dead so I was looking for something cheap to drop in... I don't quite have the money for a b16 swap right now but I need something.

I'm trying to decide if I want to do that swap or just find a replacement d16z6. The guy said the reason behind the increased power was the higher compression when I asked. I'm still not sold on their reputation until i've heard of a few people with good purchases from them. I might try to get a z6 zc from either of the two above places.
