I’m the original owner of a 00 Civic Si EM1, and I love the car (I’ve owned it for 24 years for a reason), but the VTEC feature is somewhat of a marketing gimmick in my opinion…..it’s not like it kicks in like a turbo, nor shoves you in the seat like nitrous. Like I said, I love the car, but in 24 years of ownership I can’t tell the difference when VTEC is engaged at 5500 rpm or not.
@@justinsorci5998 man congrats on that first off! I can see that. It’s just a way to “show off” a bit of power and kick for the normal civilian that bought these cars as legit commuters and wanted to engage that “sport mode”.
@@justinsorci5998 some aftermarket cams like JUN or other brands will definitely WAKE UP the VTEC engagement. All due to the more aggressive cam profile on the lobes duration/lift. Also different motors and setups will make the crossover sound insane. I’ve heard battles between H K and B series. Obviously with tuning and other aftermarket supports, turbos etc, exhaust, it will also make the VTEC very noticeable. Gotta love it!
Very clean looking Electron Blue EM1! Ggs 👉👏🤙. I have to tell my story on my 2000 EM1, single owner for 24 years with 145k highway miles, bought at 0 miles. Starlight Black Pearl and I just restored it back with new full paint original color, stock rims, stock size Toyo tires, stock body kit, fog lights, and stock body kit. Currently, installed Yonaka 4 n 1 header, Yonaka Catback Exhaust, AEM V2 and Cold Air Intake. The next step is to re carpet the headliner and remove the old window tint and install new tint. Here is a video of the final inspection after it got painted (still need to install the Si front lip)
@@JohnPaulCamposHohnerAnacleto 0 MILES? Man you guys have gems bro🤣🙏 So refreshing to see that another Em1 gets restored bro from the rear taillights to the front bumper! Kudos to you brother🤛🏽
Hey bro, Do Not Buy the eBay front lip spoilers! They are garbage and do not fit! It happened to me, they are rare to find and they want $300-600 for them, heads up as I am searching for them.
Sounds so good . Music to my ears 🔥❤️

Can't be me bro 🤣 I'll only buy OEM lips or aftermarket certified JDM ones.
