CaliforniaKnight	Nice Pics. Is the car still with you?	16th January 2019
Desmosedici	Cool pics especially the last one. Too Good Mate.	19th October 2010
ajay2233	Cool Pictures! The last one is too good! 22.8 kmpl? Mine has never given more than 14kmpl on the highways and I dont cross 2k rpm!!! have you made any modifications?	30th September 2010
Shan2nu	I got 22.8kmpl between Hubli and Bangalore. I was maintaining speeds between 80 & 100kmph. My car has averaged around 21kmpl on the last 10 long distance drives on expressways. Idea is to give the engine, the right amount of throttle.	11th August 2010
yzfrj	22.8Km/Ltr ? What speed you were doing and what kind of roads ?	5th July 2010
Shan2nu	@prsnck - the car doesn't jerk when i drive but i've noticed other people facing this problem while driving my car. I've prob learnt to overcome the issue, over the years. im still running stock plugs. But the car's performance is not affected at all. It's blistering quick and gave me 22.8kmpl on my last trip to Blore.	5th July 2010
prsnck	Hey Shan2nu, are you facing any low RPM jerks associated with pre-02 vtec models. I test drove a 2001 vtec and really felt it and was so concerned. Did u change ECU, or has the NGK Iridium plugs sorted out the issue. Is that a matter to ponder over.	10th June 2010

chetanhanda	isn't that verrrry loud ? how do u manage to not get a ticket ?	7th November 2007
Shan2nu	Yes im running a stock setup. I don't get tempted to change the muffler cos i've removed it altogether. So the exhaust pipe ends near the rear tire.	2nd November 2007
