What is Verno?

My lude had a verno sticker on it when I first got it.

All Honda cars with a numberplate in the rear bumper were sold under the Verno flag.

Primo were cars with a numberplate in the boot/tailgate.

etc. Just a sort of distribution thing.

^ that was more helpful

Verno = Sport Touring
Primo = Kei
Clio = Luxury

Verno slogan: The car, become a personality.
Primo: The car, become a family.
Clio: The car, clear (or space/room).

So yeah, as Ratty said, marketing shizzle.

exactly bud

sorry i never rang you back the other day btw Bri, it was a hectic few days

brief update, after a top end knocking noises getting gradually worse and 99% of LG advice pointing towards the water pump, myself and a mate this bank hol wkend just gone changed the water pump, cam belt, tensioner, fitted the AEM adustable cam gears, Walbro fuel pump and Hondata ECU.

here's the lude on the rollers the next day getting a bit of tuning

AEM cam gears fitted - as you can see we chopped off the end of the rocker cover and left the top cam belt cover off for quick adjustment of the gears

and other random sex in the workshop (rx7)

another rx7

scoob legacy

scoob

the result after the evening tweeking wasnt much, i gained more torque than bhp due to the make and style of the Cat cams so its now running around 200bhp with about 160ft ib of torque and so drags as quick as a diesel low down then hits tec and screams

not the quickest here by far, but for not a lot of engine mods at all, i'm pretty damn pleased with it

plus the main thing, the top end knocking noise seems to have dissappeared.....safe
