Hmm maybe. I imagine it'd be a pain to get it all the way up here though.

I actually don't mind getting one in a little bit rough shape as long as its stuff that can be easily fixed up.

Drive. It.

Don't be a girly-man. Just drive it back. If you want, you can keep it at my house over the winter and come get it in the summer whenever your permafrost melts. I'll start it up every Friday and I'll make sure the rev limiter still works right and everything.

This is a good idea, you know it. So just let me know when I should expect you to be dropping it off. Or I could go pick it up for you for a couple gallons of that primo maple.

Apex Blue S2000 CR is my dream car. I hope by the time I can get one in 3-4 years I can find a decent example S2000 that's not in an insane price.

Also does anyone have the Ultra Racing front tower brace or the chassis braces?

So I randomly stumbled upon this and had a huge deja vu moment.

From the 8 year old thread, https://acurazine.com/forums/second-...ctures-677297/:




Isn't this our MMC grille?!?! So when they heard the bad reviews about the 09-10 beaks all over the internet, they said "fuck it let's just get the grille from the concept"? I'm still kinda surprised lol

Cost saving measure. Why try when they can fake it until they make it?

Also, it the bottom part of the front bumper looks a hell of a lot like the ILX to me. Or maybe it's the RLX. Or TLX. Not sure I guess, but it looks like one of the cars.

So I'm feeling quite a loss of traction in my PSS already due to the colder weather. Past few days have been about 40-45F (sorry Gary you will have to convert). The bad thing is that it warms up in the afternoon and the function properly.

Im about to order my blizzaks, but Im curious as to what temperature you guys switch your wheel setup?? I feel like Oct is too early to switch to winter mode... that's like 6 months on winter tires.

would never have to buy tires for long time, as they are always in rotation.

I hoard tools.. well more like tool accessories really bad. I have so many half empty spray cans, or expanding foam, fiberglass resin, etc etc... Half that stuff goes bad after 6 months anyway haha.I should clean that junk out to be honest.

It would also be cool to have a tire rack instead of stacking in the corner.

ohai!


Tire Rack Tire Storage Rack

These are the ones I used and installed. It's a solid built rack, not very hard to install but spans about 4 studs.

https://www.amazon.com/Michelin-0100...elin+tire+rack these are a little cheaper and look similar

@rockstar143 bought these and they work for him: https://www.amazon.com/HyLoft-01031-...ords=tire+rack

For this one though, you're stuck between two studs.

I usually swap wheels near Christmas time and go oem until around March. Although last year Christmas was around 80F so who knows.

Speaking of RDX... It will be my wife's next vehicle. We love our CRV, and I'm really excited about what's coming down the line for RDX.

Also... just bought two Michelin Tire Racks! Thanks for the suggestion.I think those will work perfectly.

My friend has the old turbo RDX. It's surprisingly fun for an SUV. And after an intake it makes cool turbo noises.
The tire rack thing is a good idea. I have 10 wheels sitting in my garage lol, I should probably get that.

Anyone that gets one of those wheel racks should paypal me a referral fee. I'll split it with ladiboi, I promise.

And I give you my word, I'll waste it on stupid stuff.

I believe 45F is exactly when you should be using your winters. If it's 45F consistently from now 'til start of winter (or maybe at least 50% of the times you drive) I suggest you switch your tires/wheels over now.

It's still about 15C (59F) or so here in Toronto, so I probably won't switch to my X Ice until November.

Thanks for the advice, I also questioned tire rack and they said not to use the PSS below 40F, but yeah I felt significant decrease in grip at 45. Tires arrive tomorrow, then Ill prolly get them mounted to my OEMs this weekend. Then I think halloween time Ill be switching over.
