[DC4Integra98]

the VIN number
non-colour coded side mouldings (i know true for tegs)
engine noise - transition to vtec

vtec solenoid buddy.
if your engine has a goldish cap thing located near your head/rocker cover then voila.

1) you can try hit VTEC in reverse.
2) If car doesn't have VTEC... just pour some in your engine, and over your tyres... and voila!

has to be gold right?

i have no vtec then.

no it doesnt have to be gold, they do weather with time.

Why dont you put the first 5 digits of your engine number here and im sure one of us can help you... since it is a civic you will be looking for the following sequences

1) B16a
2) D18y1/8 (I THINK)

No. I have a Y4 and its is far from VTEC lol, not exactly very fast or performing. Found in GLi's. If it has VTEC then it would no longer be called a Y4
