SportcarMotion in San Marcos does a lot of engine work on Civics for drag racing. He owns an S2000. I presume he would be good on our engines too.

He's not worked on my engine except install a baffled oilpan and custom made/install a testpipe on my racecar, but I've seen the engine work they do on other cars in the shop, and his Civic drag-car is a top performer (600+ HP and 9.xxx sec). Appears to be a good shop and mechanics. If I ever need engine work that's where I plan to go.

Yeah, SportCarMotion (Loi) was banned. He has screwed a few people, and 1 guy in particular that has been going on for almost 2 years now.

I have used JC Service for many years, both for my Acuras and the Honda. They are a well established specialist located in Kearny Mesa. They've done radiator replacements, clutches and some other services for me. Always good work.
