In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.
Anybody know the answers to these?
5. Okay, onto mechanics. When checking your coolant, you notice bubbles and a faint white/milkyness in the reservoir. Also, the car is noticeably slower than usual, and may even overheat occasionally. What is most likely wrong with your ride?
Bad thermostat
Bad CTS (coolant temperature sensor)
Blown head gasket
Corrosion/sediment in radiator
7. You have a honda civic EX with a stock 1.6 liter engine. What exhaust diameter is ideal for performance
3 inch
2.5 inch
2 inch
stock
8. What type of intake is this?
CAI (Cold Air Intake)
Short Ram Intake
True Velocity Stack Intake
no idea
10. Which of these engine parameters has the largest effect on the level of boost that the engine can handle?
forged vs. cast rods
open vs. closed deck
8.5:1 vs 10:1 compression
no idea
?

5) i put corrosion.. could be head gasket.. but that would be more milkshake than milky..
7) either stock or 2 inch... stock might actually be 2 inch
it is on my dads integra (though that is a 1.8L)8) pretty sure its short ram. definately not CAI and i dont know what the hell a True Velocity Stack Intake is
10) I said compression. find me a long lasting 10:1 compression turboed street car

Racer X
You scored -27%
Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an *** while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

The right answers are:
intake->compression->power->exhaust->intake->compression->power (pick a substring of 4)
filter->turbo->intercooler->combusion chamber->uppipe->turbo->downpipe
