Don't go to NU-Image, you can get better prices elsewhere like Noyan Motors in Mass, va, or Hmotorsonline.com. But if you want a stolen motor, by all means go to Nu-image. Nu-image tried charging me 375 for a sk2 i/m (haha), i got it for 250 (shipped)from another dealer, you do the math.

first, Nu-Image does not steal motors.. dont start rumors when you have absolutely no proof to back it up. i bought my motor from nu-image and it was in 100% PERFECT condition, started up first try and haven't had any problems to date.

im a firm believer that you get what you pay for. nu-images prices are alittle high but they do carry warranty's, if anything was wrong with my motor, Norris told me to bring it back and the problem would be fixed asap, if you order online and anything is wrong your going to have to pay for shipping there and back AGAIN as well as wait another month for them to fix it.

second. maybe nu-image charged that much for a the manifold because THEY also don't get good deals on them. for most distributors that carry skunk 2, if you don't buy ALOT of shit from them then the dealer gets shitty prices..

Nu-image is ok but i wouldnt go to them. Like you said you pay for what you get. I would do a little more research or if you want good work @ a high price go to inlinepro. Inline hasn't let me down yet. I am sure plenty of people will back inlines work. Nu-image work ethic is to be looked at but if you look at their cars you will see they are for the most part fast. I feel if they put that same effort into their customers cars it would be a top notch shop. By the way i do have evidence to back up what i am saying.

Your right i have no proof execpt for accquicants i know that have gone through Nu-image, yet the motors vin#'s have been removed from the block. And another friend who's car was siezed due to a stolen motor........... Can we say shady!

But everyone has different expriences and opinions about Aftermarket Car Shops in the NOVA area. I personaly go to Inline pro (i believe 1DAKING will back me on that), and at the same time i've heard shady shit about them and have yet to exprience it and am still going there to this day. Just like your exprience with Nu-image, you haven't exprienced the shady side so of course your going to back them up.

Not trying to start shit just giving my opinion.

But back to the subject, Noyan motors, INC. is cheaper than Nu-image, and thats including a start up warranty along with parts warranty, just same as Nu-image. And they are just as close as Nu-image, unless of course you think Manassass is far away, so you can just drive there and any problems you have Arash will fix ASAP. They only deal with motors, sr20det's, h22a, any motor you can think of is there usually without having to order it like Nu-image. They have a huge warehouse of motors for you to pick from.

Plus Nu-image's prices are so high not because of quality/warranties (Noyan and Nu-image offer the same warranties), Noyan gets the same motors as Nu-image does. But because they know all the ricers will come to them, because they are a known name.
