That does not look forgiving to anything prone to understeer/push and lift throttle snap oversteer lol

Have fun J, get some video!

Any chance someone on the sidelines can get a sound clip of that fancified exhaust you got now?

haha thanks!

I'm going for top gear video quality this event. Got 5 GoPros. My IQ3 also records live data. so it will be an awesome picture in picture of the car, the driver, the inside view, and then my data from my IQ3. i will also put a mic next to the muffler to grab the sound from it to keep it roaring! I will also take my time producing this video to get the best possible video ever. lol will be epic i assure!

This section looks simple on the map but difficult in my head in an imaginary cockpit haha. Running the whole course? CW or CCW?

Good luck, look forward to the video

that part your circled is down hill, super fast, and along the edge of a steep hill/ cliff ... scary as hell.

Oh that makes it even worse haha, I was thinking CW that turn on the far right of the circle would be difficult to set up, but I guess you can go straight through... I would think if you didn't lift you'd go off, it looks deceptive.

I just picked up a new mic for my internal GoPro and this mount. Just want some better audio for vids, have yet to try it out, as I just received it yesterday.

Please see Hot-Topic for my comments for your coming event.

Just wanted to post here and let you guys know how it went. It didn't for me. I got half way to cresson, texas and the car was running at 213°. I went home and dropped off my car and then me and my gf ventured to the track to meet up with everyone else that was racing. I was a cheerleader all weekend but still had a blast! It's so incredibly nice to get away and be stress free. camping was epic as usual and great friends. lot of lulz.

Monday I replaced my KTuned thermostat housing with a brand new oem honda one. Car runs great at 185°-188° and cools it self properly. lower hose gets hot like its supposed to and thermostat opens. . .

I will be going to Texas World Speedway very soon. Gotta cure the itch!

Over the weekend I have recieved the complete brake upgrade from FastBrakes. I went with the Acura Integra Type R front and rear disc conversion. I also have a set of carbotech brake pads for them and I chose the slotted and dimpled rotors from fastbrakes. THESE THINGS ARE HUGE!!! but they WILL clear my 15" wheels. I think it will be perfect. also got steel lines and all that goodness. haha more to come!

I drove her to work this morning. Man I love my car.

to be honest, the price was great! an all around big break kit/ rear disc conversion/ with oem honda parts. HELL YEAH! excellent choice.

this will be my first time using carbotech. 2 of my buddies who road race love them and moved up from hawk hp pluses to them as they have acquired more power. I will give you guys a review when I test out carbotech myself. so far really all Ive done is research so I really don't have a personal opinion. they are pricy but I think it will be in favor.

I can't afford to play with guys like you, or handle the G forces... I get dizzy if I stand up too quickly... Youth is wasted on young guys that don't appreciate it until it's all used up.... Be careful and don't use it all up.
