only reposting this because I have seen a few posts regarding this recently and I think its bad enough to be mentioned

This is the original thread

http://www.mcr-vtec.co.uk/forum/topic14555.html
I have transferred some across so you get the gist

below is what the op wrote

This Guy known as Morf on civic life sells these kits for £300!

Once mine was delivered and opened, I was in for a shock!!!!!

After trying to fit this kit I gave up as you can see its all twisted, shocking welds poor workmanship and just a load of crap!

I contacted Morf by phone to say I was not happy with the kit and his reply was 'sorry mate don't do refund' in other words didn't care.

He told me he made the kits on a h22 engine with a b16 y21 box and he said he's 100% correct that it fits...........that's funny because this one don't!
And that why he won't give me my refund!

So what you will see below is evidence on why it dont fit and what your £300 will bye you!
All joking aside but this is a very serious saftey issue! I would def not have this kit on my car! I feel sorry for the people who do.

That's dogshit craftmanship, if I'd bought that and got that response when I asked for a refund....I'd go round to his and put my foot up his arse.

I had hear this guys name mentioned before in connection with this kit but never heard anything about poor quality - thats shocking what he has sent you - you dont need to be an engineer or expert in any way to see that really is unacceptable id give him one last chance and then i would consider speaking to trading standards. :evil:
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC
