I think that all Acuras have VTEC. You know, after a certain point, but don't quote me...

And for Honda, I think that most of them DON'T have VTEC.


That hamster is amazing.

When I sold my R18 to a guy a while back he said that he did not believe it was vtech because of no sticker....I laughed pretty hard bc earlier than that he told me that he was big fan of imports and knew a lot about them. Had to show the guy the dealer sticker to prove it. Ha

LOLOL.

Darn it didn't come with Injen Stickers.

I guess my car won't have an Injen CAI even when I install it.

This hydroshield is a little more then a plastic bag...

Noob question: Is the hydroshield only necessary if you live in an area that rains a lot/floods/you're scared you're going to hydrolock or whatever? :S

Not necessary- I think it's more for peace of mind more than anything.

I know this post is long gone but anyways this morning I had quite a situation with my '09 TSX. First things first, it started up fine at 7am, let it idle for 5 minutes, then moved it to another parking spot. An hour later, I needed to leave my house so I got inside, attempted to start but it only cranks but doesn't start. I cranked it for a good 3-4 seconds about 3 times already, then I tried a 4th time then cranks for 2 seconds then starts in a hesitant matter.

I've had it for 4-5 months now and bought it with 117k miles and now has 121,500 miles and this is the first time it happened. I really hope this isn't as serious as having compression loss or something since I don't really think the last owner took care of it very well and hopefully it's something as small as a starter issue.

Already have done the engine oil consumption test and is absolutely not burning any oil.
