We just test drove a normal 2000 VTEC Civic the other day here in town - the EX model has a SOHC VTEC motor standard. It's the Si model with a DOHC motor that I think is difficult to find.
I don't wanna have to replace a friggin timing belt on a car for hopefully several years at least. Don't get me started on timing belts... any design that recommends a 60,000 mile replacement interval or risk destruction of the engine is a bad design, and it seems like almost all of these 4-bangers have them. |
Are you refering to the Mazda? I thought all Mazda motors were non-interference, so breaking a timing belt is just an inconvience, not motor time.
