Sure, if you have low oil pressure sometime go run around and redline your car.

Not only will you not hit vtec, you'll get to hear a nifty clacking from then on! then you can say you have aftermarket cams!

It should be able to redline when its stone cold. The ECM should read that there isn't enough oil pressure, and rev-limit. Not sure about the tegs, but in my Prelude, it limits at like 5k rpms.

Naw. In tegs you can just as easily redline when its cold as when its warm. Doesnt have an adjustable rev limiter like yours does.

You just wont hit vtec.... cause, well, it can't. =]

the simple truth is, no one should be redlining or driving hard before the engine warms up...

One more question... when you are accelerating slowly to redline anytime, say in first gear, if you just do it SLOWLY, do you feel it lag when VTEC kicks in. I feel a slight lag, but normally, like under full throttle, VTEC will make my car fly. Just wanted to know if the lag was normal.

****, just go get a block heater. My uncle has one on his car cause he lived in South Dakota, that heats up quick. Do a little research, they are only like $50.

I want remote start.
But I need a new alarm before I do that -- and before that I need a new driver side door long -- and even if I did all that and got remote start I'd be afraid I'd leave it in gear one day.

Plus sometimes I dont like to park with my ebrake on (after hard drives).

So, bleh. But, remote start would fix your problem.

Buddy of mine put a remote starter in his BMW...

Now it only starts remotely (meaning the normal turn-key ignition got fux0red) h:

Leave your car in gear? LOL...I would pay to watch that

Yeah, some places won't even install remote start on Manual vehicles.
