Honda City Type-Z VTec

[jaywat]

Anyone own this car? any problem with it? I wonder what kind of engine in powerplant, is it D15B, i don't think there is CVT for auto transmission? kind of curious because this car is quite limited and rare, and second hand selling price is still so high.

Honda owner out there don't have any comment??

[jaywat]

Hey Jaywat,

Its running a D15B for sure. There are two variants -- Hyper Valve and VTEC.
I don't know what the Hyper Vaulve does. Mine's a VTEC.
CVT? Most definitely not, as I ain't feel satisfied with the auto gearbox.
Performance parts? Rarest of all.. even the suspensions are different from EF,EG,EK.
I am still looking for its manual gearbox for a conversion till today. They have the manual version in Thailand, Philippines, India and even Singapore! Why not malaysia??? Talk about the fun highland roads we have here in Malaysia compared to those that are under the watchful eyes of the un-bribeable police.
