There is a track day coming up soon so I did not want to take my good Scooby on so wanted to buy something else!! Decided on a gen 5 prelude 2.2 vtec. Somehow I managed to buy a 2.2 non vtec. Am gutted. I thought all 2.2s were vtec!!? Clearly i know nothing about Hondas.

Car drives lovely, goes well and it was not big money but what a numpty I am

 

did u pay over the odds for a none vtec then?

 

i didn't think they were either, my sisters had about 9 preludes now and they've all been vtecs?

 

lol didnt you notice on the test drive?

 

Perhpas he hasnt had a "VTEC Yo" moment before, with which to compare it.....

 

you are right never owned one before!! I drove it not to hard on the test drive brain was not in gear. It still goes okay. 168 bhp instead of 185

 

No it was cheap but thats prob why as it was non vtec and it had a brand new set of alloys and tyres on it!! Was less than a grand

 

Plonker!!
To be fair though I always thought they were all Vtec too.

 

can u tell much diference between 17bhp or is it how the power comes into works

 

Not sure never driven the prelude vtec before!! Just a bit pissed that I was soo stupid!! It a bb5 jap import!!

ha ha very good

 

i had a 1996 SI Import Vtec Prelude for a while, spoon everything and skunk parts on it. Went like the clappers, 9K rev limit

The SI import is the one to go for , on vtec it was crazy
