In VTEC?

OK I will ask the stupid question....How do you know when you are in VTEC?

Is there a range of RPM's in each gear?

jesus christ, all these threads about "vtec-ing", this forum is starting to sound like a bunch of 16 year old ignorant rice boys!!!

it seems to come in waves, one group of newbies shows up, uses stupid phrases like "im vtec-ing" or "i v-tec-ed my car" etc and then someone has to explain that they sound like fools and then they learn and shut up....then a few months later, we have a new crop of "vtec-ers" you guys make it sound like its hitting a nitrous button or something, lol. vtec is not a VERB. its the name of a technology. christ, its not even a real WORD, its an ACRONYM. it cannot and should not be used as a verb.

sushimaster the vid dont work

Vtec starts at 4800, and you know when the engine tone changes to a more high pitched mean tone

Claybar removes unwanted materials in your paint, brake dust, tar etc..

It was a very easy question I am not sure why everyone has to get so upset...

And please spare me and everyone else on this forum...your rant that makes you look like you a real smart cookie and stuff, you know the part where you try to make yourself sound like an expert.
