i'm driving one for daily driving. Driving another on weekends.
The initial power is good, vtec comes in around 2k to 3k rpm on e
first few gears. Mid-range onwards not much power, so hard to find
when e vtec kicks in.
My ideal launch:
1) put gearbox on S mode, activate 7-speed mode, 1st gear. mantain
handbrake while reving to 2.5k rpm.
2) let go handbrake, quickly let go the accelerator pedal, switch
to 2nd gear before the redline, then floor it.(need lotsa practise
for best effect)
3) Repeat step 2, but switch to 3rd. Switch to 4th n off the
7-speed mode.(4 gear onwards very little power from manual mode, so
let the power of the "s" gear mode take over)
Practice makes perfect. Make sure u do some mods to e brakes n
suspension, cos both of it sux. Do slight changes to e engine if u
want.
There's also an option to squeeze in a k20A engine package,
although its a bit messy process. Will set u back RM$17k.
