Send pics. I'm guessing your nutz haven't been used very much and are in nearly new condition. A bit on the small side. I'd pay $2.

Depends on if you want more performance or better fuel economy.
I'd use the advanced fuel economy and then put a viagra in the gas tank for extended performance. YMMV.
ps. No clue. Sorry.

If you drive like a grandma, use the Advanced fuel economy.

haha alrigh coool thanks. Mayb I can also get y'all option on this. I'm debating whether to have it service at the dealer or at home myself. Since it's still under warranty I was thinking taking iT in. Any thoughts ? Wouldn't have them blaming for if in the future I have to take it in for repair. 🤔

Yeah prolly while under warranty the dealer is best option for the reason you mentioned.

Sooooo... my thought is to place some "non attention grabbing" bucket, maybe tin, or plastic or something and fill it with half way with soil. Then deposit the poops in the soil. Now the 2nd part to this is to add worms to the bucket. The worms would break down the fecal matter and eliminate the waste completely until the soil could actually be used for planting/potting etc... It's a brilliant idea!

As initially stated, your's isn't a great idea, but can be improved upon (from a worm guy no less!)

OMG you've just changed my life! I'm definitely buying that thing! It's a way better option than what I mentioned previously. Here is a pic of my Siberian Husky (Koda ((bear)) )

cool dog
and discovered scuffs/scratches on my right side skirt form the car wash place, only when i got home. It looks like its only through the clear coat, but still pisses me off.
I will just take my car to my workplace and wash it there. we have a underground garage that the facility guy says i can wash in. I'm doing that now.

Still going through winter here in Toronto, and of course we're expecting a 10-15cm snowstorm today lol.
As for car washing in the winter, I just go through the touchless car wash. It won't get everything off of course, but it's good enough considering how it'll get dirty within the next few days again anyway. This is mainly just to get the road salt off the car.
During the other seasons, I like to hand wash it myself. I last detailed it a couple of years ago, so it might be time to do it again this summer. Even with touchless carwashes with rails on the ground, you may end up with scratches on your car. It's best to avoid any kind of automated car wash altogether if you want the best for your car and its paint.

to clarify this was a hand wash place with no machines.
I see those wheel rails for the cars at touchless places, but I always avoid those. I guess I will be washing my car at work and using the gym too. 2 birds 1 stone i guess.
Its nice since the garage is underground. helps my car is out of the sun 5 out of the 7 days in a week.

question, that I haven't really found in the wheels section.
next upgrade is brakes. I know there are some size limitations. what do i look for to see if it matches?

I am assuming taking measurements of your inner barrel of the wheels and the offset?

Stock wheels will fit over the RL BBK, but you will need a 15mm spacer (maybe less). If you absolutely want to keep using your stockies and you're uncomfortable with spacers, then you have no options AFAIK.
RL BBK will likely be the smallest BBK option out there. Next up is likely the TL-S Brembos, which also fit under a 17" wheel. If you want something bigger, you will not be able to run your stock wheels regardless of spacers and you will very likely need 18" wheels at the minimum. The exact wheel width and offset gets tricky, because this depends not only on the BBK itself, but also on the design of the face of the wheels too.
Using the TL-S waffles as an example, they are 17x8 +45 in size. They should fit over the RL BBK, as well as the TL-S Brembos without any spacer needed. So if you're going for a larger BBK than the TL-S Brembos, you'd want to use 18x8 +45 as a (minimum) starting point. You'll be a lot safer with 18x8 +35, but again, wheel specs alone cannot guarantee fitment as the design of the wheel (around the face) may impact fitment too which isn't accounted for in basic wheel diameter/width/offset specifications.

Just putting it out there.. Thinking of letting go my project/fun car.. The S2K. AP1 chassis, AP2 drive train and motor with Vortech S/C. Red exterior with Tan AP2 interior. Game plan was to finish it this summer with a fresh paint job to make it all mint. Any interests?

Indeed too much.. I would have it wrapped around a tree already.... I'd love a stock one though..

Assuming you're asking about the brake calipers, because otherwise you'd just simply need pads/rotors which fit the OEM TSX calipers.

Like me and Bellanova White Pearl, you have no choice but to get the bumper and have it resprayed. Best not to try a different grey and "hope it matches well". Even parts with the correct colour code have the paint mismatch look lol. It will be very obvious in your case IMO.
