Nice one Vil

Yeah D16Y1 is the 96kw SOHC VTec motor found in 1992 -1995 VTi

Just check for sun roof and rear disk brakes plus EG5 stamped just near the radiator on the body

Any help needed Vil just call or come over man

Lower power actually y8 has only got 93kw. But u can feel vtec switchover more IMO. It's also more refined.

i found 5500rpm the point where vtec kicks in. i had never experienced vtec prior to this purchase. i got surprised as it was a first time and i am satisfied with this little car =)

sun roof...checked
EG5 stamp...checked
rear disk brakes...checked
d16y1....checked

i was only originally concerned as i had inspected a car with a VTI shell, but non VTI engine. but all is now good.

luke, i still havnt fitted those rims on. ill wear down the current rubber then put on those bronze rims
