Just an update. My son's friend still doesn't have his engine, it's been five months. Flash Options is now telling him they will ship to a guy in Michigan since this guy can get the engines through customs. Then the engine is supposed to be shipped to Texas.
Interestingly, one of our fellow forum members sent flash options an email and asked about an engine price. The owner of Flash Options must have thought he was someone else. Here's his reply to some comments that bad things are being spread about his company and a request to come down on the price of a GTi-R clip:

Bad stuff, worst my reputation is going down dude, to be honest, i'm young and you know that, i open my own warehouse, get my own motors in japan, i bought over flashoptions for USD8400.00 basically the ownership of fountain futures sdn bhd / and the heavy cost of the website.
Holy Shit man!
Well yes sure dude, we're partners i'm giving you almost cost price but i have to cover my cost of the warehouse too only.
Your job is to sell and split profits remember.
This is the price of it.
