any newish owners notice how much better the engine gets after 8k miles.feels much more lively and responsive.

 

I've still yet to experience this - only on a lowly 2500 miles at the moment

 

Aye it gets better with age apparantly, like a good Wine

 

Just up to 3k and no noticeable change. Maybe a bit free er and stopped smelling of hot exhaust. Just off to Italy via the Alps so that should free things up a bit!!

 

My MY04 got noticeable better after about 9,500 miles and didn't 'strain' as much in getting to the limiter ....... it got much, much smoother in Vtec - the stupid thing was I sold it at 10,500 so the new owner has had all the hard work done !

 

Whoops! Well you'll just have to get another one now then and do the same (except the selling bit), just to experience it after 9k miles

 

I just changed to an MY04 with 13k on the clock, feels a lot faster than my old one which was on 37k. Must be cos the new one is an ex-demo

 

cant wait for my 2002 to be run in! bought it 2 mths ago with 7700 now coming up to 9000 and seems better already -previous woman driver probably never v-tecced (sorry women drivers out there!)...

 

and also coz its an MY04
