Notice the yellow triangle to the left of the tach. When VSA is off, the light it on. When it's on, the light is off.

Ken...is that one of Max's videos? The clutch work is horrendous. Makes me shutter everytime the wheels are chirpin' before the RPMs are even going down. Poor car.

It wasn't a low blow at all. I would have said it if you were here or not. I knew you'd be back anyway. The sound of the acceleration and the rpms match...your camera was fine.

the vsa light blinks when it's activated. as for the handbrake light, check your brake fluid.

it does not blink it just stays on sometimes along with the brake light and the little exclamation point inside the triangle. My brake fluid is good its the handbrake light and I know for a fact its down. It just sometimes comes on while im driving but after I turn the car off and turn it on it goes away.

right; there's no "low brake fluid light." on my integra, the e-brake light would turn on when the brake fluid would get low. not sure about the vsa light though.
