hey guys,

i have an issue with my DC2, sometimes when i flatten the pedal (hit vtec) the pedal gets stuck and i have to tap it a few times to 'losen' it.
whats going on?!?!?

there is likely carbon buildup around your throttle body - take off your intake pipe , and spray some "carb cleaner" or similar product into the throttle body , and get a toothbrush and give the edges of the throttle butterfly a good scrub.
