I gunned it out of the driveway today with out thinking to warm up the car first, and it felt like I hit a rev limiter at around 7k. Like the engine hesitated big time, and I thought "oh shit, should have warmed her up". I know the rx8 has a feature like this, didn't know if the s2k was the same or if I just did something bad to my engine.....

 

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep thats what its there for.

 

man that just got you $3k in damages........................................... .............

































yeh its common, but after you;ve done it once you wont do it again. The brick wall feeling!!!!

 

whew....

 

no,you did not "fuxor"your car.

 

Wait for 3 bars on the temp gauge before VTEC.

 

well he's got an ap2 and if i'm not mistaken they have more bars (smaller bars) then the ap1......but yes, you're fine, just warm her up and she'll be good to go!

 

DOH! I didn't even look at the year.

 

When the car is cold the v-tec won't engage as you will not have sufficient oil pressure to put the car on the v-tec cam. Happened to me like everyone else a couple of times.

 

Happened to me the first time I test drove an S2000. Thought the VTEC was broken. DOH!
