if it's an EX then it should have a d16y8 motor, which has vtec. the d16y7 doesn't. it is imprinted on the engine sorta towards the bottom left

It has vtec but you can't hear/feel it at all, and it will feel like any other slow economical car. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You know Ricochet I have read through several pasty pages fo this forum and found you being a jerk on all of them. You hardly contribute and always are negative. I havent said anything since it was never in my post.

So I gotta ask since you are always complaing like alittle kid and are "tired of this forum" why are you still here.

Heres a Kleenex wipe that brown shit off your nose. I asked b/c I wanted to know. If you can come to a forum to get info then why come? is this a social club?

When he says sorry to burst your bubble I would say no he isnt right on, I personally am not into trying to get "hi-performance" out of a Honda, but would like to have a car just to mess with here and there.

I didn't mean to be a jerk in here, I was just giving it to you for real by saying yes it does, but it still doesn't matter powerwise. I thought I'd go the extra step instead of giving you a one-word answer.

Well, 99% of the time people on this board will tell you to "use the search" function. Im pretty sure that pretty much every civic question has been discussed on this board at one point or another. So, why don't they just close down this board? I mean, since we can just search for every post, why are people still here? And let's say someone searches for a topic and finds one from 5 months ago and doesn't find his answer. So instead of making a new thread (because people tell him to search instead making new thread), that person bumps the post from 5 months ago to the top, and guess what everyone says? "Look at the date of this post" Either way, it's a lose lose situation. If you don't have at least 1000 posts, everyone MUST BE smarter than you, that's a fact on this board. So yeah, to answer your question, it's more like a social club, people with no lives come here to talk shit to "s"

Tip: Go to the ricer street racing story forum and just keep posting about how you killed cobras and vipers, and every time someone posts a slip, just tell them "good job." Do that for 500 times, and come back. And once you post a civilized question like you just did, someone will think you're much "cooler" because of your post count. (always remember, the more posts, the smarter [and cooler] you must be since post count = brain cell count*50000000)

Look at the post below yours, and you can see. This 1000 post smart kiddo seems to know everything. Too bad all smart people with over 1000 posts have already left this board and people who been sucking on their sausages now think they can run this and tell people what to do. And didn't I just tell everyone how they get their post # up? Not by helping people, but by saying stuff like "just leave"
