STAY AWAY FROM TIGER JAPANESE!!!

I am having trouble dealing with these people, too! I was actually doing some internet resaerch when I came across this post!
I have an '87 RX7 turbo and ordered a 13B-T from them. First, they told me they sold my motor a week after I ordered it. Then, they "found" one after I threatened to take my business and my $1250 elsewhere. (In retrospect, I should have!)
I received the motor last Tuesday and when I was inspecting it, I fould major issues!!! First, there was rust in the cylinders. I thought that just meant it had been sitting for a LONG time, and with a little cleaning, it'd still be okay. I was ready to risk using it until the intake came off! Water actually poured out of the intake! The hose that connects the intake is full of corrosion!
The turbo pins are also missing huge chunks of metal, the fan blades are broken, but that's expected, I guess, and there are various other things wrong with it.
I HAVE PICTURES IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THEM! E-mail me @ suzukigirl@myway.com
Now, the guys at Tiger Japanese won't call me back or reply to my emails. (Is it just me, or is everyone there named Mike?)
I'm not sure of my next step but I am sure that I'm going to publish my pictures to my website so everyone can see what "quality motors" these guys are selling!
