Nope - just someone who got bent over a few times before I went DIY.

I'd want to be a bit more sure about the distributor coil and yes, it *is*
a rip-off. Check out the price of the coil on-line and figure it's a
half-hour job for a competent DIYer - stretch it to an hour for the
persnickety DIYer. If DIY is out of the question, try to find an good
independent shop who specializes in Hondas/imports.
