Arrow I think I've gotten used to VTEC

Recently I've noticed that I don't get as much of a thrill from the acceleration or the VTEC kick.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that now we have what could loosely be called cool weather and the car does feel much smoother. It still hasn't diminished the fact that most things rapidly disappear in the rear view mirror.

The car seems to be running fine, was serviced not too long ago and was topped up with a litre of oil last weekend.

I do VTEC it most places so this might be why - maybe I should have a week of Driving Miss Daisy.

Should be better and more pronounced in the cold weather. You are in Dubai though

Have you solved your car stalling issue?

I too thought it'd be more pronounced - yes the idle thing seems to have sorted itself out - did it a few more times but has been fine for ages now - thanks for asking

I have found that the tyres are completely crap though - when I autoxed it last month, she was sliding about like crazy. Need to save up to get Arifmans rims.
