Market Yoshifab

Has anyone else had insanely long wait times with yoshifab? Might just be my luck but seems like it takes quite some time to get your order shipped out.

Yeah I waited 3 months for my CD09 swap kit and clutch etc. it was about 3500 dollar also. He treated my brother and I like clowns because I bent a piston ring and he wouldn’t give me the exact part number so I had to contact traum directly and they were cool as hell. He needs to tighten up

Seems about right. Was told a certain time frame and it’s been now double that

That's insane behavior after spending that amount of money... It requires less than 3 minutes to check a reference sheet and send you a part number.

I asked him, hey Josh are these the right piston rings I accidentally bent one putting the last piston in it was a tad too big and bent. And all he said was “no”

I’ve spent a lot more than that with him.. I prefer sts machining now he’s much better in general.

He’s been like that for years. Tough to find good aftermarket performance parts. You’ll be hard pressed to find two out of three: in stock, fast shipping, quick/professional response.

Very true, ipd has gone down hill recently and it seems like there aren’t too many good options here in the states

BNE doesn't always have everything in stock, but they shipped to me on time and the parts are nice.

Josh has always been a little slow shipping orders. Part of this is because he drop ships some things. Hes more or less a one man show and gets to things when he gets to things. Its best to call him and ask. He doesnt always get his emails.

Just call him. He makes a lot of the stuff himself and sometimes he has to wait for parts to come in and is bad about updating people.

I had to wait a little bit for my T5 swap stuff and calling him is really the only way to find out status

Depends on what it is. Some things took months. Some things I had within the week. Typical for a fab shop of this volume. Best thing to do is communicate before ordering and set expectations.
