Nice! Fill us in about the interview. What was that about.

Also, how did that Evo V down at Laguna Seca do. Gosh... I love those cars.

>> TNN want to make a show about street racing, so i think they want to make a compare between street and track. so they found me and then they decide to take some video and stuff. the interview is about how is my run, my car, and compare to street race and some stuff like that, and they should be make another video with my car while running in mountain soon.

Also, how did that Evo V down at Laguna Seca do. Gosh... I love those cars.
they are great, and that EVO 5 is belong to my ex-friend b4, and i drove it and it was GREAT, but to be honest, the highend accel is slower comapre to lowend, my car can accel. as fast 3th gear+

No, we did not run across each other on the track, but I did battle with the TT, VW Rabbit, 911 and of course a few 240SX's. I did see your car in pre-grid and the paddock area.

I skip the last session. I had some over heating problems.

Here are a few pictures that my friend took with his digi cam. Very far away, but he also took some nice photo's with my SLR with jumbo zoom lens. I still have to develop and scan them in.

What's your setup? Got any pics of your PWR integ installed? Have you had any problems with the car running too cool on the freeway at night?

Is your motor built? And the integra radiator alone solved the problem?

Have you had any problems driving late at night on the freeway and have you water temp go straight to cool? I know someone who had a Koyo with a B16 (stock), and had that problem. I think he was saying his vtec did not crossover one time cause it was too cool.

no, i dont have that problem at all. i think your friend car might have a problem with the themostat. coz the water flow is very low when the water temp is not hot enough. and when the themostat is not open, the radiator cant do much about cooling. maybe check the stock water temp guage or add an aftermarket one.

well, not trying to disrespect or anything but i think sometime the guys from TRS is being a dick. in a non wheel to wheel time trial, they tech like a professional racing. i think being safe is good, but sometime is too much. and one guy from there really **** me off. i forgot his name. one time i came up tp him and ask him something about i got a wrong color sticker(its my fault tho) and ask him to switch it for me(i ask nicely not in a bad manner). he gave me a hard look and went to find tommy about that, and i was given a black wirst band. he talked to tommy and said why i bother to change it back because i got a black wirst band. anyway, i got a race to the 57 civic from them that day because the guy who drive that being a dick and try to pretend he could pass me at the corner. and actually i planned to let him pass on the back stright and call it a day. what he did really **** me off and i let him pass and tailgate him like crazy. come on, the 57 is a RACE car and mine is a STREET car. i am totally fine if he pass me since thats a race car but what he did really make a fool out of himself. after that, he ask me what i have in my car and i told him i got b18c and he said "no wounder" . then he jumped into his green integra and wait for me to go out, but well, it was rain like crazy, and i just left.

If you want to race, then go race. If you want to go to time trials or driving schools, quit risking other people's cars.
