I agree. I'd look into it further, or just go for it.

I will get a lot of flak for this I know, but JDM for an H swap is overrated. I'm not even in SoCal and I can get and engine, ecu, tanny, axles, etc for $1800, no core, usually less than 50k miles. Even with the "warranty" and I'd love to see the fine print on that, one has to wonder about an almost $2800 tag. And why is refunded in quotes...?

My 2 cents is shop around, that seems like too much money.

Wow, $1800 sounds great. I didn't realize you could score an H22 for that cheap. Well, like Demoic said, shop around before you buy then!
