Default Put on your Seat belt when the VTEC turns on....kinda wack but..

When i had my SOHC-VTEC engine , I stumbled across a "vtec indicator light how-to" and of coursde i did it but the DOHC VTEC announces when the VTEC turns on so i felt i had no use for the damn thing. Since i have sparco seats my light for the belt was always on so i decided to remove the bulb. I relocated the Indicator to the SEAT belt indicator so that it reminds you to put on your seat belt when the VTEC tunrs on...kinda gay but .... thought i would share the idea...

I wear my seat belt whenever I'm in a car...

This inlcudes sitting in a parked car listening to a stereo, guess it's just habit.

he's not saying that he doesn't wear his seltbelt, he is saying that since he ahs sparco seats, his seatbelt indicator is always on now, so he rigged some ****

"man, watch out when that VTEC engages... you'll need to fasten your seat belt"

um.... no, he hooked the light up originally when it was an SOHC b/c it isn't very audible, but now the he was a DOHC JDM B16 SiR2 (in sig), it's kind of redundant b/c VTEC is SO FREAKIN LOUD!!! so he hooked it to the seatbelt light for ***** and giggles

Something a little on the tech side. That light could pull enough current to prevent vtec from engaging properly. I've heard that only led lights should be used. This is only speculation but it would be nice to have a second opinion.

well it's not a bad idea, and it's not rice cuz he didnt spend anything... Isn't a bad idea to have flashy **** happen while VTEC engages cuz about that time you're goin pretty fast and then a light comes on, you look down and go "oh its just my vtec" then you look up and BAMM! you hit a little 4 year old in the middle of the street But why dis on the SOHC? you put a after it! what the **** is that?!?
