Everyone will have their preferences on who they prefer for performance shops they like to go to......so to each their own.

There will always be good/bad feedback from ANY shop. Period.


I do find it funny how RavynX chimed on a tech/install day thread to warn "US" about Precision R when there has been plenty of threads bringing up the shop... lol

Indeed people will have their preferences which is why I said "double check the work they do." I didn't say to avoid them completely.

Before I go on any rants, can you please clarify by what you meant by this statement? And don't single me out b/c GateCrasher also has friends with similar experiences.

If I'm not at an autocross or at the track I'd be willing to help out with general tech stuff. If someone is doing a softtop I'd love to learn how because mine is in dire need of replacement.

It's not that bad to replace the soft top, only tedious. I assisted a buddy of mine removing my old top and putting the new one in. Took all of 4 hours with a food break. Although I was changing out one frame with another.

Yeah, seems like it'd be an easy job swapping frames. It's the write up I've seen just replacing the cloth material having to drill out rivets and align everything properly that seems like a PITA.

I'm not trying to take away from this post either but it's kind of hard when you're replying to vague statements. PM sent.

According to the Honda Technician manual it's a 14 hour job. I've seen it done a few times in significantly less.

The most important part to make sure you align the cloth perfectly, the extra time to make that adjustment and maintaining your tension straps should ensure a long life for your top.
