    I'd be of the opinion 'Better the Devil you know', I just had the top half of my Teg engine rebuilt and couldn't be happier with it tbh

    IVI are fitters not mechanics, they just remove/replace

    I swear by Urban Per4mance, what they don't know about Hondas you could write on the back of a postage stamp.

    If you want contact info just drop me a PM
