Congrats Hunter - happy motoring! Picked mine up on Friday - 130 miles on her now. VTEC a couple of times. Still getting used to having no turbo at 2,000rpm but car looks the biz!! Would also like to lower driver seat a little more (yes, down as far as it will go)...

Anyway, happy motoring!!

Sounds great! picked mine up today too. Planning on waxing mine some soon too but got loads on so won't be able to do it for a couple of weeks at least

Enjoy your motor, and the VTEC!

Congrats illegalhunter,

I believe that you will continue to enjoy that car for a long, long time.
I certainly was thoroughly enjoying mine till my setback.

Very happy for you.

Cheers.

Apologies if this is a stupid question: is vtec an absolute 'no-no' until after 600 miles? (Have been in that rev range a few times ~ 6000rpm... 200 miles on the clock). I'm getting conflicting messages from a number of sources. (Miss my turbo low-down in rev range...)
