Re: Engine died during autocross run..

did you happen to hit the key with your knee during the braking?
I have done this countless times in the s2k... just nudge the key to the off position and all of the sudden, engine off and I didn't really know what happened at first.

Just a thought

Re: What radiator to run?

I had to replace my OEM rad back in June... ended up getting a great price on the Mishimoto rad and havn't had a single problem with it yet. Plus, there is a 1 or 2 year no questions asked warranty that it came with - the guy at the shop I bought it said even if you are on track and a rock flys thro...

WTB: tail lights 97spec ITR

Hi, Just noticed that one of my tails has a crack in it. It looks like sharp object hit it, but didn't break through. It's tough to see but it's the spiderweb design. Anyways, I need two tail lights from a 97 to fix my baby. If someone has extras, please PM me. I'm located in Ontario Canada, but wil...

Re: 97 ITR

okay, I think I may have found part of the problem.... The rad fan DOESN'T come on ahahahah. I didn't check the fuse yet, but can anyone recommend a good rad fan that is reasonably priced and does a good job? Also, the car has been parked and I still have that brake issue. a rotational metal sound t...

Re: 97 ITR

to rebleed the coolant, I just pop off the rad cap when it's cold and then turn on the engine to warm it up right? The air bubbles should come out the top with pressure released? I was at the track last night while keeping a close eye on the engine temp - it was 30+ *C here yesterday and the temp wo...

Re: 97 ITR

Yikes. My oem heat guage never moves past 40% across the range....oem everything in the cooling system. None of my three integra's have ever gotten that hot on track. That includes OEM and two aftermarket radiators. I think it would be wise to follow Shawn's advice and rebleed to coolant system. I ...

Re: 97 ITR

thanks for the heads up. probably not a bad idea.
I thought I bled the air bubbles out very well when I installed the rad but maybe not.

on highway driving, the temp guage barely goes above 1/3rd hot so I was very suprised.

Re: 97 ITR

on Wednesday we went out to the track for an evening lapping session. Four or five 15-20min sessions and it was a blast. I found out the car drinks more gasoline than my S and also gets a bit hotter :) on the third session I got caught up in chasing down a s2k cr so stayed about for a few extra laps...

Re: 97 ITR

the summer student works for the city I live in. 110k people about. So she is a city works person, I don't even have proof that she did it. I was confident she would at least respect my can and attempt to not hit it. But then again, I have no proof it was even her so I'm just going to let it go. Not...

97 ITR

for the past week I have been setting aside a couple hours each night after work to finish up claybar'ing and then polishing heR. Car looks great. I have become very familiar with paint/body condition and know every knick and scratch on the car (all from previous owners). Yesterday at work, I went o...

Re: radiator issue - any ideas?

Thanks guys. I have verified that the s2k rad does NOT fit in the dc2 without some modification that I'm not willing to do. KOYO/MISHIMOTO seems to be the way to go at this time. The rad that was in the car when I bought it was gigantic but the previous owner put cardboard over half so it would heat...

radiator issue - any ideas?

Hi guys/gals I bought a 97 #424 itr a few weeks ago and I need to fix the rad. Previous owner put in AC, the AC core has vibrated against an aftermarket rad enough to cause a very very small pinhole in there. When I turn the car off, I can hear the rad and see the rad spray a little steam/coolant (f...
