[wynode]

do u's really have to post "reading" .....

Yes because they are still 'newcommer's

[91'lude]

Some would seem like that, judging by post count, i have like none but know this place quite well...

Anyway thats a really good read, really shows how revolutionary honda can be when they try, because of that engine, variable valve timing is a common household thing.

lol that means that you can VTEC 73 times a day

(400,000 / 15yrs) / 365 = 73

hms Im only VTEC'ing once or twice a day
