The pump is a rebuilt one most likely and the T-belt is what ever the local parts store carries. I would do a honda, they are trained to do it correctly the first time and you know it's done right and the parts are going to last.

just called him.. his price went up to 380 (last i talked to him was about 4 mos ago) and he was pretty strict about using oem parts... that also includes a new valve head gasket.. and for 60 more he'd adjust my valves..
ps the other drive belts honda parts out, meaning honda doesnt make em.. he uses goodyear which he says are the best on the market... (so does 3 other shops i called to get quotes on)
