When you floor it, it doesn't go above 5500rpm when stationary. Type in launch control on youtube and it will give you a clue of what it is. My mate didn't launch it, he just showed me it so I tried it in his car.

i wouldn't call that launch control. it's more a rev limiter. our car is rev limited at 5500rpm when the car is stationary.

Those projectors looked a hell of a lot brighter than my headlights :P. I couldn't tell if my headlights were on but there was a flood of light in front of your car!

Do you live nearby? I'm in Caulfield. We should go wash our cars once the weather clears up, I have some badges waiting to go on the car and would like to find someone elses so I can line them up properly :P

ahhh..so it's u LOL. I see, u turned into Monash Caulfield. u live close to Monash?

really? I don't know if its that bright hahahaha....its sufficient light from inside the car. what happen to the badges, tho?

I live up in Hawthorn, just got back from my mate's shop yesterday

yeah, I usually wash in the city up in spencer st. I'll let u know

Hey guys,

looking to pick one of these up soon, excited.

i have very little knowledge of hondas and vtecs, and cant find a friend that does either, would you recommend a stateroads inspection, honda dealership inspection or something else?

Thanks.
