    VTEC problem

    I have annoying problem with the VTEC on my b18c4. When I drive the car from cold I drive it sensibly until its up to temperature, then when I put my foot down,no VTEC,no matter how long you drive about. But after it's up to temperature,if I turn the ignition off for around 20 seconds...

    Vtec problem

    I've got an annoying problem with my vtec. I get the car all warmed up to temperature before it gets any proper revs,but when it is properly up to temperature there is no vtec. If I then turn the car off for about 30 seconds (after its already hot),then switch it back on,vtec works fine. It's...

    Has anyone had experience of these coilovers?

    Since I put the new engine in,it's showing up the bad handling haha. The coilovers look like very old 'eBay specials' and they are rock solid to the point doing 60-70 on a back road is uncomfortable. I'm looking to buy a new set,and seen as I'm an apprentice on crapoy wage still I'm going to...
