What a numpty I am.
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

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
