Solution: replace dirt with concrete.

Have fun!

ssjoeboe9

lol whachu talking bout Willis??? Concrete is even more expensive lmao. Pavers/bricks are like anywhere $1-$3 per piece.. and pouring concrete is even more expensive than that.

I gotta build a deck sometime, maybe next year. Im guessing that's gunna be like $8-10K :/ (at least for a nice synthetic/trex)

cu2wagon

You might be in for another shock. That plastic lumber is expensive AF!

I looked into it once and then stopped looking... I'm too cheap to have nice things.

BROlando

You've considered just letting the land reclaim itself? That's cheap. Also, you can do other things whilst that process occurs. Have a sandwich, perhaps. Or take a stroll (remember to bring your sandwich!!).

And if you're lucky, once the grass/weeds get high enough, the transients will move in and set up a little hobo encampment.

Then you have freerange meat for dinner!

Win-win-nguyen.

ssjoeboe9

I know it's expensive, that's why I said $8-10K. I think just a pressure treated wood should be around $3K to build yourself... so around triple for plastic should be about right.

Unfortunately I have a neighbor who neglects his yard, and they have a dandelion forest. Their shitty lawn encroaches on my territory and all the seeds end up floating to my yard.. It's constant war. Im thinkin in about 2 years Ill have perfect grass. I may even start mowing it diagonally like those fancy people.

With your Honda riding mower?

ssjoeboe9

haha hell no...

now we're 3G rambling in here...y'all should come visit.

cu2wagon

Hmm. @ssjoeboe9 Does the Valkyrie have VTEC?

Because that bad boy will definitely do the job...

BROlando

c'mon bruv. Farming the poor is SO old money.

cu2wagon

Precisely!

I only have Benjamins with the big faces.

I also only have the one. But that's just details.

I have gone to the skrip club and spent only $1...

cu2wagon

My min/max is right around $0/$2.

And that was at a BYOB place...

cu2wagon

But that's just because I hate students and don't want to subsidize their education. Same reason I don't buy lotto tickets.

@@opboarding hasn't commented in a while, where you at..

He's busy being a landlord and regretting wasting money on his car.

Trying to get my current project out at work has kept me pretty distracted. Making some sweet sweet OT monies. It goes out tomorrow though!!!

opboarding

The Malibu is doing great! I drove it to work a few days ago because it was raining and the TSX is too good for rain now.

urbanstereo

you bought a chevy malibu?

cu2wagon

It's called a "clam box".

more like a clam bake...

opboarding

Yeah man, check it out. 2004 Chevy Classic aka 97-03 Malibu. Got it for a steal from my coworker.

Fun fact: That car shipped from the factory with cloudy headlights. It was a "branding" exercise by GM so that all of their cars would look the same in 3 years.

cu2wagon

And since the Chevy Malibu/Classic is basically a badge engineered CTS-V, that's how it got the nickname "the Cataract".

opboarding

Those sure are some fun facts!

I got another Honda

Updates on the mini?

iCrap

I converted the mini to single carb, the duals were giving too much hassle. It runs pretty much perfect now, but it's a little rough on the first few minutes after cold-start. I think that's normal though.
Did a full paint correction, interior is cleaned up. I got this cool "retrosound" radio which looks like a classic radio yet has modern features and an aux input. I also hid all the speakers so it looks nicer.
I also swapped the bumpers for the older(?) style without the brush bar things on the side, i think that looks way better now. We tried to paint the British flag on the roof with plastidip, but that was a total fail. After we pulled the masking it just ruined the edges. I think we'll try again with wrap.
I still need to fix a bad exhaust leak, mount the 4 front lights in front of the grille, "rally style," and a few other cosmetic things. I think i want to change the fender flares too, since the wheels stick out really far past the body. I also really wish i had the manual windows but that will be a huge pain to convert back.








S2k needs a lottt of work. I need to make a full list. It's all cosmetic stuff. I started off today by just polishing out the headlights.

julius071

Mini and S2000 looking great!

cu2wagon

Mini looks good.

S2k looks good.

Some day, you should take the motor out of the S2k and put it in the mini. That will simplify the carb tuning significantly.

iCrap

lol. There is a kit for swapping a Honda motor into the mini. There are some videos on it on youtube. the amount of cutting required is scary. At that point, is it really a mini?

rawger

Dang, icrapster getting some nice toys. You still have the G35 as a daily?
