Looks like the VTEC is more in demand now, than when it was being produced.

Shan2nu

true and the profile of buyers is also changing....used to be rich middle aged blokes back then...now its a much younger audience

wondering whether HONDA shud do a nismo skyline type run...
buy back a few 1.5s/vtecs..refurbish, put in some light performance mods, mugen kits and offer it in the market for under 7 lakhs and im sure demand will be substantial

i would suggest chek at honda showroom and another garage also...u never know what equation the prev owner had with the honda showroom guys...so their opinion could be biased...

but price is a steal

Or maybe relaunch the OHC Vtec in Type R trim (limited edition). Honda seriously needs a sporty variant in it's present lineup of cars.

The Civic should have been the one replacing the OHC's loss, but for some reason the Indian setup just doesn't have that punch (while the JDM K20 FD2 Civic Type R is turning out to be a real stunner on track).

Guys keep dreaming, no way is Honda launching anything for sports oriented people like us.

Ricky_63 · 18th November 2007, 14:36

The car looks in great shape. I am sure the HONDA workshop guys can do whatever little needs to be done. From the looks of it - surely an original condition car.

Cheers

malcolm · 19th November 2007, 22:38

some more pics guys of the dial at night as requested
and my new rpm with shift light

Shan2nu · 19th November 2007, 23:00

Nice, but why aren't the rpms on the analog and digital read outs on the after market tacho matching? 4380rpm when the needle is on 3700 or so. now thats a big error.
