Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

I have a warren going now. They're starting to connect to each other. An example:

Egyptian megalithic structures-> toolmaking and metallurgy -> bronze age collapse -> who the hell were the sea people and the Phoenicians -> the history of the Doggerland pre druid people ->early holocene warming and subsequent ecological and geological implications (great flood myths)-> and back to the economics of bronze age mediterrania and how the Phoenicians ruled the dye trade with seashells and eventually conquered and erased at least 3 cultures, but not the sea people-> How did the Egyptians eventually manage to stop the boat raiding in the Nile?...

That's one thought path. It's all related really.

 

also i have sat in one lol its the entire reason i got the si haha i went to look at a used frs at a honda dealer and ended up liking the si more

ya people will normally put them on bags so they can lower and raise them when needed i want bags for my car but man i cant afford it lol so static life for me...

also do it! i want underglow on my car badly lol ive always wanted a fun Japanese coupe of sorts that i can make look like a need for speed car or fast and furious kinda build so thats kinda my goal with the si

 

If I ever lowered my vehicle more than an inch or two it would have to be on bags. Lowered cars look great, but I appreciate the clearance on my car soooo much.

I hate the "Oh poor people can't criticize things that cost more than they can afford" mentality, but people constantly posting videos of themselvess getting stuck and being like "static liiiiiife only pussies ride on bags" Are big poor energy.

 

Giving up practicality to look cool has to be one of my least favorite trends. Half the challenge of looking cool is not totally wrecking the functionality imo.


Full disclosure, one of my favorite builds was a chevy on bags by a guy in a wheelchair. Owner could lay it on the frame and slide right out of his seat into his chair. That guy was awesome.

 

Welcome to TW

 

i like bags but man its 3k for the kit for my car so no thanks ill do lowering springs and get my 1.25" drop and call it good

 

got a point lol

 

You can do it for free with a grinder or a torch

 

how about no lol i aint that cheap

 

Ratchet straps to compress the springs?

 

I'm pretty sure that bags would not be track ready and that's what I'm looking to do. I'm into those widebody kits though. I saw some that didn't look like Bushwhacker flares that I liked. I don't know how much I want to widen the track though. I can't get her to commit on body stuff... yet. Her family is into stock-ish looking cars with sleeper drivetrains. Everything we do first will be performance related.

 

no lol i wont even be doing the install of the lowering springs the 10th gen civics are a major pain ill just pay a shop to do it

 

you can track with bags you just need to buy a good kit like i was looking at the d2 kit which people do track with but with bags you always have the risk of blowing one out then you are screwed

and thats boring lol gotta look cool and perform well also lol

i wish someone made a widebody for my car but nope there are a few renders but so far nothing has happened with them and i prob wont ever see it either the 10th gen coupe was only made from 2016-2020 and it was very low numbers

 

Zipties

 

You could even splurge and get the stainless steel ones



These are actually super handy to keep in the toolbox. I’ve used them way more than I ever expected to.

 

As a veritable zip tie enthusiast, I'm ashamed I haven't had these in my life

 

You definitely need to get some. They aren’t even crazy expensive.

 

i have never seen those lol
