    On a side note, it is not advisable to baby your engine, as it will be basically "under developed" in terms of power. Give it a VTEC every now and then, but make sure you only do that when your engine is properly warmed up (i.e., your engine has reached its optimum temp for at least 5 minutes). This will also help prevent damage (or blockage?) of the sollenoid (spelling?).
    Thanks for the re-assurance. I was getting a little paranoid about destroying my engine.

    On another note, my 1st gear feels really weak, even up to 5000rpm. Is this the case for everyone else too? I can rev it up to 5000 on first and still have the slowest launch at the lights. Am i suppose to quickly up-shift to 2nd to get the power? (It's not that i wanna race, but the person behind me always gives me death stares and signs of impatience/frustration. They'll overtake at any given opportunity at warp speed and stare)
