Honda put that there to protect the car from people like you.

Don't thrust those fools. This limiter is a fairytale, as the secret compartment or the fuel door opener are.

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.

This is wrong....you have operational oil pressure within 10 seconds of start up, the cut off is designed to prevent damage due to varying internal tolerances during the warm up period.
