Has anybody tried a manual VTEC bypass? It would probably be pretty easy to rig a switch to just turn on the solenoid any time- perhaps a button under the left thumb. Might be interesting to play with at least. I could also imagine a two-switch bypass.( i.e.- If switch is on, AND throttle position exceeds a certain point near wide open,OR the ECU says "on", VTEC is engaged.) That way, you could modulate it with your foot. I know, I know... thinking overtime here-

You must really enjoy your car, gernby!(actually, I have to admit that my own gas mileage is getting lower and lower the more I drive)

gernby,
I averaged 25.6 mpg coming back from mineral wells today.
do you still run with the back up fuse out?
for everyone else, I do drive my car, hard on the track and my car is a everyday driver.
I regapped my stock plugs to .0043 from .0030 and got 2mpg better.
Installed denso Ik24's pregapped at .0032 and got 2.5 mpg better on this last tank. I run 93 octane all the time, the car has never had less than that. I myself have a heavy foot and can't wait for 3 bars on the temp sensor and hit 1st - 2nd all the time.

I have been leaving the Backup fuse in, since I am paranoid about forgetting to turn off the head lights.
I don't know what mileage I got coming home, but I did the trip there, the autocross, and part of the trip back (200 miles) on 10.5 gallons. That is probably the best mileage I've ever gotten for an autocross.

Oh well, you can't say anything without stepping on somebody's toes I guess. Heck, I'd even be happy to delete the B*** (name) references but they're already quoted...
