Haha cheers guys. means alot to me . Lets me know i havn't wasted my time in some ways .
Yeah Stokes, i stopped updating my build on TC because it just seems dead on there.
Again guys cheers for the kind words . Unfortunatley this is deffo not worthy of 'Best ITR in the UK'. Lots to do yet before i would think that . What do you guys think to a spoon sports front lip in Champ white with brake ducts running off it and a spoon sports blue sun strip? Would love some Enkei RPF1s, carbon spoiler add on and some APR F1 style mirrors??? lots of money for little/no gains to be honest, better off putting towards dry sump and slicks . Main thing is to use it and not be affraid to push it. I have to use it and i promised myself i would push it and find its limits and better myself as a driver. Another quick vid lol...

The more pictures i see of this integra, the more it makes me wish i had one. Honestly one of the cleanest cars I've ever seen. You've got some talent mate, and its nice to see it being put to its proper use.

I Agree, clean inside and out, yet still used on a track, I really want to take my DC2 to a track but I got this gut feeling I will blow the engine as it is my daily just don't want to risk it
Cheers people . Next track time is oulton July 5th (dependant on Oil cooler and rad set up), then Donny July 10th, Blyton July 23rd, Oulton August 10th, maybe a cheeky Anglesey trip and then Silverstone in September at Trax.
Completley understand matey. But if you do everything you can to prevent engine failure atleast then if the worst does happen you will be safe in the knowledge that you did everything you could. Sump baffles, oil pressure and temp gauges, larger rad, oil cooler, low milage or new Oil pump, check your timing belt or replace if need be and litrally you should have a reliable unit. Rings and stem seals will wear and if i keep it B series i wouldn't want to run it over 100k miles. Its alot better to rebuild a motor before its failed ;D. My B18cR has only done 47 thousand miles (76km)
Just enjoy it mate and try and try and put it to the back of your mind, a million and one things could happen on the road, i actually feel safer on the track .

exactly what i loved to see! something so clean, well thought out and well put together being used to its full potential, not just a hard parker this one!
sounds like you may have already got an oil cooler ready to go on, but just incase - i do have one forsale. bought it for my ek b18 turbo project but never used it! sat in my loft since i got it. bought it from Tegiwa, me and johnny (tegiwa) removed it together from a freshly imported 96 spec DC2 that Tegiwa had broken for parts, so the brackets etc. will be perfect for you!
Ah sweet dude, looks like a mega bit of kit that! I actually have an 18 row oil cooler i just need to buy the fitting kit but i am being a tight ass at the mo as i should be moving house very soon which is gunna get expensive , huge garage FTW though .

Thought as much haha.
huge garage FTW indeed, one of my criteria when i get a house in the next couple of years, regardless of how important the mrs thinks it is
Haha mate it was the only Criteria. Couldn't give a crap about anything else . I am lucky because my addiction to cars is massivley shadowed by the Mrs' addiction to shoes!!!!

=Amazing day at Anglesey today. Was an early start at 5AM for a loonng drive to the curcuit. I was so impressed with the track though. The setting was insane and the track layout was just mindblowing. Was actually the S2Ki meet/track day so there was a good 10-12 s2000s on track. Without sounding like a dick they where all incredibly slow, even the supercharged ones. The teg had no issue with sailing right past before out braking and carrying so much more speed through the corners. Had a good play with a few kit cars and keeping up took massive attention and late braking haha. Had an issue with cooling at Oulton so i would do a warm up lap, 2-3 semi "on it" laps changing gear at 8-8,500 RPM then 1 all out NUTTER lap then a cool down. Got into that routine and it never over heated, used less oil and lots less fuel. Made my times more consistant too. Had an issue with some curbs coming out of the first corner. My mate joined us in his Cosworth powered Westy but unfortunatly half way through the day his cousin stacked it . I got my camera mounted and switched on. Went out and did possibly the cleanest, fastest lap including one moment at 90mph where the back end steps out and points me directly at the apex as i floor it from a blind apex out, i litrally said OMG thank fark i was filming that because i will never do that again! Ummm to find out i had it on photo mode!!!! I could of cried .... look in some pics for the tripod lol...

Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Now thats what im talking about !!!!
Blyton After a days worth of prep getting the car sorted i was finished late on Saterday night. Got about 4 hours sleep before having to drive the 3 hours to Blyton. Waking up at 4AM was a bastard on a Sunday haha. It rained all the way there and it looked like it was only getting worse. Pulled up at the track and for some unknow reason Blyton park seemed to be right under a patch of blue sky all day!!! I did 7 or 8 sessions and it was only wet for one of them!!! I found this track very challenging to be honest. considering how flat and short it looks it really is a bastard haha!! So heavy on brakes and the corners seem to have very little flow to them. Did enjoy running my spoon N1 and making some propper noise due to the relaxed noise testing. Put in some pretty standard laps to be honest. I was just nackered haha!! Got home after another 3 hours in possibly the most rediculous rain ever. Then spent the next 2 hours prepping the car for Donington the very next day.
. Lets me know i havn't wasted my time in some ways 
, huge garage FTW though 
haha.
