Today I took out my GSR on the highway and it feels a lot slower. Does the cold weather affect the way my GSR performs. It was heated up to normal temp. and I barely felt the VTEC kick. Is this normal?

 

maybe ur getting used to the power... put a turbo on and you wont be saying that

 

if anything, cold air would aid in performance, not hinder it. Perhaps you need a tune up?

 

Are you sure it was warmed up? It is pretty freakin cold outside here. If the engine is not warm enough VTEC will not kick in because the oil pressure is not high enough.

 

hell yeah i have the same problem... maybe its cuz i put the stock wheels back on...

 

rims slow your car down. unless you have some super light ones

 

Not unless they are bigger rims.

 

Either way...either its all in your head or you need a tuneup.

If you really are concerned, do some maintenance and bring it to the dyno. VTEC wont kick in if the water temperature is not high enough...IE if your thermostat is busted and the motor is running too cold.

 

does anyone have a block heater? does it do any good for the great canadian winters I got?

 

well if u were defogging your car with the a/c on the a/c hinders you a bit. or what everyone else said cold motor = no vtec
