Re: whats vtec

vtec is automotive deliciousness...

Now ask about i-vtec.

Basic honda vtec consists of a hydraulically actuated/controlled pin used to link adjacent rocker arms, each with different profile cam lobes. These would normally operate independently, but can now operate as one unit.

Stil, a quick search on yahoo or google could have gotten him his answer faster and with no BS from people who "think" they know what it is. I'm not talking about you guys but there is a possibility some idiot will.

Re: whats vtec

Re: whats vtec

What the hell are you talking about? Are you refering to 95DXCivic's pic in his signature? If you are then you're a moron. From that pic it looks clean as hell. Is he supposed to rice it out with vinyl and APC stickers, angel eye projector headlights, flashing winshield sprayer things? Not everyone is into making their car look like a piece of sh*t. Just shut your mouth ricer boy.

who said we were actually suppose to modify our cars? I love my car the way it is and i wouldnt trade it for anything else unless it was like a jdm integra type-r or something. But even then, i would buy another eg coupe later on.

What the fu*k??? That's all I gotta say, man. Why don't you get off your computer, go to Wal-Mart, buy some more neons, and install them on your "cool" car?!?
