the other night I was out with some friends when I spotted a EK coupe, I was talking to the owner (a real hunny I might add) when i asked if she liked the v-tec, she told me that it wasnt V-tec, i figured she jst didnt know what v-tec coz she only had the car a couple of weeks, so I looked under the bonnet and much to my suprise she was right, it only had the D16y.

I thouht that all coupes were vti, has anybody else seen one of these??

I have the d16y8 engine in my car.
It is sohc vtec, but it's still vtec....

I assume it's 96-98 model if you say EK? Check the plate thingy it should say EJ8? Then it's the vti

check here, very good table of engine info etc:

the coupe was red, but it was a cute blond driving it.

it was definatly non vtec coz it had the same motor as mine.

The 1997 VTi Civic Coupe's here sold locally came with the d16y8 as someone has mentioned already. It doesn't say "VTEC" on the engine cover but its a SOHC VTEC.
