The Lotus Exige has 2 camshafts, one for economy, one for speed, and they switch when you go past a certain number of revs. A kinda similar thing I suppose.

I fucking love the Honda Civic. It's just different to all the other reasonably priced cars.

God damn I hate the honda civic. I wish they would put a decent V6 in it. Anyways, older Nissan Pathfinders are a BITCH to change the clutch in. let alone the guy before me did it once. and when he put it back together, put LOC-TITE on. EVERY FUCKING THING. Siliconed the bell housing to the block, and I'm tempted to say fucking put LOC-TITE on the god damn input shaft.
