EH VTi first impressions

[EG30]

Been driving a VTi sedan I'm thinking of trading in, with the owner wanting to buy a E46 318i I'm selling atm.

I'm very impressed for a 13 y.o car with 180Ks on the clock!

Stiffer body than my EG Si hatch, no rattle or squeaks ( std suspension helps ), 100% stock engine pulls very smoothly ( my Si eng feels lumpy in comparision. Only mild change of induction note post VTEC, but revs harder so it's like a G rated version of my DC2R's engine. Sunroof in a EH is a revelation for me! The seatbelt beeper is painful to live with though.

I was going to wholesale the car out if the deal goes thru as I have too many cars atm. If I get the chance of buying the car at a good price I'll grab it and sell my bash-around VR Commode instead.

I love it!

there should be a plug under the seat that you can disconnect to stop that beeper thing :thumbsup:

EH Vti are a great car, i used to have one. Highly recommend it.

also, i can confirm that under your seat there is a random plug in the middle of a wire. It is the seatbelt warning, just unclip it and its all good. I reckon Honda figured alot of people would want to disconnect the seatbelt warning, i cant see any other purpose for having that plug!

GL luck with it

LOL yeahh i was washing my car one day to find that unplugged, started the car next time and it scared the crap outta me lol but i left it plugged in...duno why, it just doesnt bother me that much...

I got the beeping sound too, kinda get used to it after a while and it doesn't bother me. Quick question though, if you disconnect the plug, does the little seatbelt light on the cluster still come on to remind you?

[EG5[KRT]]

if it does just bridge the plug.. should b aight :D

[VTi_b0i]

yeahh it 0nly disconnects the sound, light still works ;)
