Sad to say that TriStateTuners will be going offline sometime around Oct. 15, 2024. After 20 years online, times have changed and its no secret that the forum's activity level has slowed to a crawl. Its been an incredible run with so many amazing friendships formed and community events held, plus all of the technical knowledge and entertainment shared online. I know I'm not the only one who has had both their personal and professional life impacted and improved significantly from this community, and I'm happy to have been a part of something so special. Thank you to so many people who volunteered to the community -- the entire moderating team, behind the scenes IT support, those who organized events, and everyone who contributed online to this unique local car community. I hope that many years after the prime of TST, many of you are still enjoying cars even if we are all "grown up" now. Please take the time to revisit your member journal and reminisce, or browse any other parts of the forum. Maybe reach out to an old friend or two and make plans to grab dinner and catch up. The timeline may change slightly but I wanted to get this notice up as quickly as possible to give everyone a bit of advance notice. Thanks for everything, TROLL

motorvated Tri-State Post Whore Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Olde City PA Member #9779 My Ride: 2010 VW Jetta 2.5, 5 speed/ 73 VW Beetle drop top. iTrader: (0)	JDM engines... to trust or not? My miata is up there im miles. About to turn 200K. In light of this, I've been motor shopping. On ebay (go figure) there are companies all over; these companies sell JDM motors. Usually they have 40-50K miles, or so they claim. There is a company in NJ that sells them and I can get a motor for my car for $600 give or take a little. Ive heard some horrible things, and some great things. Like the internals being swapped for ****ty stuff, compression being horrible and various other things. So im after the truth! Have any of you used these JDM import motors? Any car..240s,integras,miatas. Just looking for feedback and advice.
