^ Mine is a 2000 Integra GS-R with the JDM front end conversion. I get just a tad above 30 mpg around town and I'm sure I could do much better than that if I actually drove slower. It's been one of my favorite cars I've ever owned. It's been super reliable and when it breaks it's super...

Science Center - It's sort of centered around kids, but I always enjoy it. Experience Music Project - Very strange looking building. Have never been because it cost so much, but have heard it's interesting. Pike Place Market - Fun to see them throw the fish. San Juan Islands - My favorite...

Awesome pictures Craig. That is one good lookin' car. Any chance you'd get an SL-C and SL-R on the track together?

I'm glad to hear you say that. I went with the K20, and haven't had a single regret since. It is an incredible engine. If you're planning on staying N/A, there is no competition as far as I'm concerned. There isn't another N/A 4-cylinder on the planet that even comes close to the K20. And...

Ted, if you found a really good deal on an SRT-4 (or Honda K20/24) engine, didn't get any upgrades, only bought used parts, picked the car up yourself from RCR, did everything yourself, etc... I'm sure you could build it pretty close to $21-22K. And for this kind of car, RCR quality, and mind...

That's hilarious Brian. I flippin' hate snakes. I would have probably shot him 3 or 4 times. ...Just to make sure.

Here's a study (written by 4 Ph.Ds) I found a while ago comparing peforated and notched disks. They concluded using FEA that the perforated disks had a better temperature distribution and heat flux compared to the notched disks. Here is the powerpoint presentation, sorry I don't have the...

I'm not sure on the exact amount, but I would make a rough guess that I'll have about $26K in mine when all is said and done. But, you could easily build one for MUCH cheaper than that. I had mine painted, custom fiberglass work and spent quite a bit on the engine/transmission. The stock...

I wonder if Fran is hiring at RCR? Who cares how much you earn when you have the coolest job in the world.

I'm not sure if you have a degree or not, but is going back to school an option? You seem like you would be a very good engineer. And it seems that you would enjoy it too. If school is too expensive, there are many routes to go in which to get free education. My wife and I started having kids...

Happy Birthday Craig! As my father-in-law always says, "I've always wanted a box!"

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's always hard to lose someone close to you, no matter what the cause of their death is. Chad

Aren't those the same fiberglass seats that are in the SL-R? Hmm.. I wonder how hard it would be to stitch an R on there instead of a C?

I checked out Idaho and it said that there was a 1/4 miles track about 45 minutes from where I live. I found some pictures of it. That's Idaho for you. I guess I'll have to find some good dirt tires.

Now that would be cool.
