I don't know why they would put something "pointless" on your car! I think 4 cylinders is "pointless", so pull a plug wire also!! I don't know how those work (MIVEC) so I can't help out.

shouldnt have gotten a IX then, trade down for an VIII if u dont want the MIVEC, but there are a bunch of people here to tell u MIVEC is very beneficial.

You "heard" it only works until blah blah blah blah...

I suggest you do more research. I'll give you a hint...MIVEC ain't pointless.

One of the reason you run 12.74 @ 105.82 is the mivec.

I thought the Mivec kicks in at later RPM, like a Vtec does. but then again, I don't have one, but heard and drove in a Ralliart with the Mivec, and it seems to "kick in" at higher rpm.
