Hi guys,
I'm Stevearcade, I'm 26, I live in Eastbourne on the south coast (UK) with my Mrs, our son and two cats.
I drive an 03 Honda Accord 2.4 Exec Tourer (the big estate with all the trimmings ). I've owned and loved my car for over 2 years now. It's completely converted me to Japanese motors (although I've always had a soft spot for them).
I bought the car after trying a friend's 2.4 Accord Tourer. I loved it, but I never really understood VTEC other than it gave it you a turbo-style kick in the higher revs, and really didn't understand i-VTEC. So was reading up about it recently. It's quite fascinating, very clever stuff, and in some ways quite simple too, like many of the best inventions. My google-ing of VTEC related things led me to this place where I was suckered into signing up .
Anyway, I'm not really in a position to modify the car in any way at present. Costs enough just run the thing :-(. But I intend on having the car for many years, I wouldn't rule out giving it a little tweak in the future. As it's the estate, the engine's very under tuned for performance, it's very sluggish until you build up some momentum (a real motorway car), there's a lot of untapped potential in the 2.4 for sure.
Anyway, other than my car, I'm a Music teacher, I restore old video game arcade machines for a hobby and support Coventry City FC.
