I'm glad you got all my PM to you. So you have the D16Z6. 1.6 SOHC VTEC. Good for you. As far as people in Canada not believing you have VTEC,.... forget them. If you have car dealers or car trader magazines that don't believe you at this point, tell them they're full of sh1t and don't know anything about their cars (honda's at least).
