Not all sohc vtec motors have vtec on the valve covers.
Get rid of that Crapmaster clutch ASAP. Get a ACT.

I bet the people that say it's not VTEC because its not on the block, are the same type of people that say that have a Civic TypeR because they went to PepBoys and bought the badge. And yes, get rid of that clutchmaster, and look into the ACT. Or, maybe you just need to get use to the new clutch. I'm not saying that you are a bad driver, but you may not have enough experience yet.

oh trust me... i know how to drive... i learned to drive stick in less then 2 min... i wanted to do it all my life... and i learned at 13 years of age... in my back yard which is huge... so it really wasn't much a problem ... i never stall... probably once in a blue moon .... if i'm not paying attention or by accident..... i usually teach girls.. but they burn the **** out of it lol... and omg my friends like they rev it too much and pop teh clutch.. i mean its not so hard...

Ignore these ppl, i'm sure each one has a friend of a friend who had a bad experience with so and so company, clutchmasters is fine, Ive had ACT, clutchmasters, exedy, driven every day, no complaints from any of them. If you better describe the noise you think is a problem we can maybe help.
