have you checked the cat? My guess is that the SSV is sticking. Search for ssv ticking

If your near Kitchener/Waterloo area, bring it by my shop and I'll check it out for ya.

the cat makes sense...when it gets hotter the problem gets worse....ssv..not so sure about that but i will check it out...hey are you around on saturday>? whats the warranty on the cat in these things?

quite possibly the SSV.
Mine showed the same symptons when warm and the cat checked out fine (visual inspection of the cat when dropped).
Of course after the SSV valve was replaced the engine was soon diagnosed with no compression in the rear rotor and replaced under warranty.
