Your clutch is gone. Your motor is producing too much torque (ill avoid the honda torque jokes for now) for what's left of your clutch, and it's slipping. Replace the clutch and you'll be fine.

Symtoms of slipping clutch...

btw...did people manage to figure out your name was VTEC H22 and not VTECH 22? I know a ton of morons tried to be cute and make VTECH jokes.
