I thing i have noticed with my Vn is how easily it starts, doesnt matter if its been sitting there for a few days it always starts first go, infact its even better than my dads VT because whenever i hop in and start it i dont hold the starter motor for long enough for it to fire up out of habit from my car :thumbsup:

Ermm... Get in and turn the key, thats all I've ever done. Although for piece of mind sometimes I put my foot on the break before I turn the key, once I had my foot on the accelerator instead haha oppss... Lucky I always put ma handbreak on :p

Anyways, You might wanna get that checked out I think? =/

The night before I start my car, I sit down on my cushion, cross my legs, light the incense and hold my hands together. Then I meditate on it for around 3 hours during my astral flight. OMMMMM OMMMMM OMMMMMMMM. Then it starts pretty well instantly the next morning, it's incredible.

OK guys (and girls!), enough already!! I just wanted confirmation that it really is a normal thing for the car to start with no more than a turn of the key. Sometimes my car has the symptom described for a fuel pump relay or fuse not working, in that the car needs to crank for about 2 seconds, other times it just starts, and I was wondering what the norm was for y'all.....
(Off topic) Foamey you are a legend, what ever happened with your partitoned intake mainfold plenum thing? Does it go 15s yet?
