amen and booyah from me w/ 93 civic Si 5 spd VTEC almost every drive
I do not know about 5-6K, mine feels like i can engage around 4-4.5 k under right conditions
need it especially on highway here, everyone thinks they are racing somewhere and their goal in life is not to let you get in front of them, which is fine (just slip behind right) except there is another guy right behind that one with the same notion and the on-rampers get same treatment ? where VTEC is handy
i just wish i had that 1.6 DOHC 160hp monster in the civic, watch the jaws drop on those un-suspecting passer-bys
