    Rubber mallet. The bends are rough, but they work

    Is your swingout fully sealed like mine was? Might want to silicone the hell out of the holes so you don’t get water in there like me

    Haha it can handle it, but no. It has a trailer hitch, so maybe an overland trailer with RTT there o_O

    Probably will be selling the bike rack too.

    I have the bearing puller (loaned out right now, but not for long) a seal puller, the bearing & race kit, and a torque wrench (you need min 150 ft/lbs) for the axle nut. I think I have the 36mm socket too. Also have air, and tools. Just sayin'.

    I was thinking about something.. but for now, it gets nothing. I just found out the rear wiper doesnt work. So hopefully its just a fuse. If not, its getting deleted. I might get an exhaust later, but just because I cant hear the stock exhaust now. Im getting 250+ miles to 8 gallons of gas, so I cant complain. And its like a mini go kart - so therefore I will shift from 3rd at 60 :rofl:. I think vtec kicks in around 4500 rpm

    wheels and tires would be my first adjustments, 5lug wheels in that size with proper tires are a bargain when comparing your taco wheel tire package costs lol

    should go without saying but a broadway mirror and squash air freshener because jdm :spending:

    Im actually happy that it has 175/60/14 tires. It makes new ones only $30-40 each. I didnt buy this car as another project. I got it for "commuting" and errands, since I dont want to put the useless miles on my truck. The last time I changed the oil on the truck, the catch can had that yellow gunk from lots of short trips.

    My new job is only 2 miles away from home now.

    a nice quality 15 or 16" wheel though still allows you to source budget friendly tires, and still gain a whole lot of performance


    its honda, dont give me that i aint gonna mod it crap...


    at only 2 miles you should get a shwinn lol...

    what do I do in the winter? or in the rain?

    The only thing that I want at this moment is a phone holder. I might do a different shift knob. Actually might have an old Element one buried in my garage
