Things I learned working at a shop 12 hours a day.... -rebuilt stuff sucks. Period. If you can get it brand new
or rebuilt by the original manufacturer....that's the way
to go. Unfortunately, even Honda dealers have started
selling autozone junk as Honda rebuilt. : / -bored out usually isn't a good phrase when you're not
talking about cylinders (and that's not always good) -never buy anything that has a used solenoid....injectors
or boost controllers alike. -the way 30+ other people did it and had it work is usually
a good way to go. Being original is good....but usually
not for the checkbook. and of course.... -if you can't do it right the first time....don't do it. So
many dorks came into the shop wanting half-assed work that
would ultimately lead them back into the shop later with
a complaint (thus why we turned away a lot of dorks) last but not least.... -if you can't draw me a schematic of how a SAFC works, you
don't need one. "Can you put an AFC in my Civic?" "Do you
need one?" "yeah dawg...my friend has one on his eclipse
and it was sweet" "do you know what it does?" "no" "your
civic has almost no use for one" "i heard i could get a lot
of power out of it" "not really, plus you'd have to dyno
the car repeatedly to set it up" "nah...i saw the settings
on the internet" About that time I find an important phone call to answer.
That's not directed at anyone....but that's my logic after
a little bit of time spent fighting with cars and dumb
customers.
