Hello all,
Greetings!
I live in New Delhi In India and have been an avid reader of Honda Tech from last year or so. Ever since I purchased a used Honda VTEC around two years back, I have found myself glued onto Honda-tech more than I could ever imagine.
Earlier I used to commute to my work on a motorbike- a tiny 150cc Honda engine that has so far never let me down. 13 BHP power has been sufficient in crowded roads here to give me all the excitement of a superbike ..But hard Indian weather and my organizations intolerance with my dirt smitten face and clothes forced me to think about owning a car to travel around 4 hours every day. Since budget was a constraint and Honda reliability and drivability over other Indian, Korean counterparts is well known, I opted for buying a used old Honda VTEC a 11 years old car (2003 model). The car had seen good time and looked pretty decent despite 11 years of age that in Indian road condition can be compared to double aged cars in States. That's the start of my story with my Honda City VTEC...
