I <3 old school cars, built my first engine with my father at the ripe old age of 7 - 2000cc Pinto motor for our race car. Had Twin 45mm Dellorto's, a crazy cam (Can even remember dialing in the Cam), and Extractors that came with an instruction manual for fitting. Thats one of the reasons I want to build up an old EF Civic Hatch with Carbs and my B16A2 thats coming out of my EG9 SiR Ferio.
Just wondering if it's possible to run Vtec on a Carbied car, or if you can only run Vtec Killers or the likes??

Oh I meant to update on my wife, I'm still up here at the hospital, they are going to do some stress testing on her heart, at this point t doesn't look like it was a heart attack, but her blood pressure keeps changing, I've been up here since Saturday night. About to head to the house to get ready for work.
