    Hi all, As the owner of a 2001 Honda Accord 2.0i VTEC I was wondering how tough the engines are. The VTEC is clearly designed for economy above performance (certainly as it's tuned in the Accord), and as a result the power only really kicks in from 4000rpm to 6000rpm, which is higher than you'd
