FYI-- my worms are thriving, they are re-producing and I have found many eggs/worm capsules. I think by fall I will easily have close to 2k worms. What an exciting time!

"S" for "Shit worms"...

This could work.

You should feed the worms to your dog so they can eat the poop at the source. No more backyard messes! Think about it.

Damn, I finally did a cumulative total of all the mods on my TSX... SC/rotors/suspension/wheels/tires/DP/tune/flashpro etc etc....

I'm at $11K :/ that's a lot more than I expected lol.. I guess you don't realize when it's spread over so many years!

Suggestions on a car cover ? Is the OEM cover worth it? Which one do you guys recommend ? Looking for something that will product against sun and rain as much as possible.

You will be risking scratching the paint up also with the car cover. Get the car paint corrected and apply a decent sealant and you can park your car under the sun and rain. Recommend Crystal Serum | for the sealant.

When I first bought the car I had it paint corrected and sealed it with Gtechniq and it was wise investment. I literally washed off the dirt and wipe it dry and no swirl marks.

I might get my entire wagon done in that after this paint work...
Gotta find a high end detailer near me.
I have all the stuff, DA and Rotary, but at this point, I'm a little leery of burning my own plaint.

Thanks, I'll admit i'm a bit jealous of that Maibu.....

Yea lmao, although this isn't even close to being as bad as the TSX was. (and the G has way more miles now, 115k). The lower part is the worst since I lowered the car so much. Maybe i'll just get a lip or something.

This is why I'm now keeping a spreadsheet as I go... on both the Mini and S2K. I don't want to go overboard lol.

I have StopTech on my car, no complaints. I'd get the drilled + slotted personally. (Just for looks).

Drilled and slotted will be lighter. So you'll be able to go faster.

Slots help with cooling for stops with the TSX's MASSIVE 800WHP engine.

Drilled reduces surface area...and actually hurts cooling...but helps with weight for the TSX's MASSIVE 19" diameter brake discs.

^MASSIVE sarcasm spec data.

If its all for looks, then...depends on what your eye finds pleasing. Neither helps much with function on a street car.

Are you looking to improve braking? Or just looking to look nice?

I'm thinking about getting some cross drilled rotors and then getting a CNC to mill cu2wagon on them like slots. That way, everyone will know 1) that it's a racecar, 2) what kind of race car (a CU2 wagon), and 3) my username on wwv.acrazime.org.

agreed, DEFINITELY cut your own.


who the fuck has access to an CNC machine? I just clamp down my rotors on mom's dining table, grab my trusty Black & Decker drill and go to town..

Here's the drill for those interested:

True, better to fuck up mom's table rather than yours. Good to remember. You could also plastidip the rotors after that way you don't even have to buy the black ceramic discs.

improve braking, looks is just a bonus. My OEMs need to be replaced.

Not a big fan of how they look I guess. And naturally they're more prone to cracking than blanks/slotted, but Roland is right this isn't really an issue on our cars.

Lucky!

Don't forget to stop by Tim Horton's for a cup of coffee. Get some poutine, and try their bacon... it's ham!

See how many apologies you get too, just random apologies.

And if you see Drake, say hi but don't make sudden moves; he's sensitive and a bit shy. (If you see Beieber you can kick him in the taint)

Hey, I'm still working out that week. But it looks like it's leaning towards me being in Columbus during the 4th. I will keep you posted.

cu2wagon basically just summed up everything you can/should do in Canada.

Nice! I've done that once or twice in my day.

Never had Tim Hortons but I'll definitely check it out.
