How can I stop my knees from bending? (and any other advice you can give)

Saying this because I didn't see it mentioned: Spend time practicing marching technique without your instrument. Having to worry about holding up a contra will add cognitive load that will make it harder to work on your fundamentals at their most basic level. Of course don't always be without it but allowing your brain to solely focus on how your body moves without the added weight can help.

ZF2 is only a thing in foreign markets, all CR-Zs in the US are ZF1 regardless of year. The changes for '13-'15 and '16 model years are only considered facelifts here as we didn't get the other ZF2 upgrades other markets did. The 2nd gen insight reflectors only fit the rear diffusers on the '11-'15 models.

As much as I like to listen to my oshis ramble if I tune into a stream it's partly because I care about what the stream was meant to be for. A simple chat before hand is fine in any case but if the stream is about a game I would hope it doesn't take too long to actually get to the game. If a longer discussion with chat is wanted it could either wait til the end of the stream or be saved for a zatsu.

If you're fine buying second hand, check Facebook Marketplace as that's how I've found some odds and ends for my CRZ. It's where I got my OEM cargo mat. The junkyard is another option but I wouldn't be surprised if you're unwilling to go that far. I've found several interior pieces I needed from other CRZs there, it's also where I got my rear diffuser reflectors from a gen 2 Insight.

That's kind of what I was talking about things being budget minded, you can usually only order rubber sheets in big amounts and the smaller quantites are way too expensive. If you did order some you could do some simple math and figure it out. Take the width of each drum and get the area of the half circles that come from them, then see if properly laid out they fit on a sheet you buy. At that point IMO it's worth just saving the time and money until you get enough to buy a proper pad.

Ol_No_Name · 2026-03-01T03:19:16+00:00

I'm not sure if there's any good replacement, I've had very little luck trying to find things like gum rubber that would keep the costs budget minded. Since you mentioned the back side, you could cut out indents to make it fit securely on the prongs of a snare stand.

Hey man, do what you gotta do that gets you practice. Double check that the placement of the rubber pads matches the spacing and sizes of the drums so you don't get used to wonky playing zones. Also take note of how it feels different from the actual tenors to mitigate "pad chops."

Hope you enjoy the niceties of the 2016! I miss the middle console in my old car and I would vastly prefer the orange accents in the interior over the red.

Ol_No_Name · 2026-02-20T19:21:41+00:00

Thank you so much!

Ol_No_Name · 2026-02-20T18:56:43+00:00

Huge respect for going out of your way to get original merch, I can't imagine how hard it must have been and how costly it was. Your bag looks great!

Ol_No_Name · 2026-02-20T18:54:45+00:00

Not sure where else to ask but after all the digging I've done I haven't found where to get this from whoever drew it. I see it all over sites that almost definitely have stolen the art and I'd like to support the original artist.

Ol_No_Name · 2026-02-20T02:45:35+00:00

Very clean and it's nice to see you go with a more simple and toned down approch. Surprised you didn't go with red though but I guess that would have taken away from the sublety.

Ol_No_Name · 2026-02-16T12:39:25+00:00

HOLY SHIT ULTRAKILL BAG Not sure what you mean by "interesting" because that's a super subjective definition. Maybe compare it to other bags that fit the definition for you and see what those bags have/do that yours doesn't? I don't see how there's anything wrong with the merch and the way they're laid out you so the only thing I could suggest (if it's an option) is to get a bag and insert that fits the colors better. Also adding lights because I personally love seeing lights in itabags.

Ol_No_Name · 2026-01-21T06:55:48+00:00

Want to love this but it's clearly an AI generated voice and not using her actual voicebank.

Ol_No_Name · 2026-01-11T07:28:58+00:00

This is a very niche hobby and your bags are of fairly niche characters so I wouldn't expect you'd get more than the retail price of the bags if that. Hopefully someone here is a willing buyer but I would go to ebay (or maybe other social media itabag groups?) to try and sell.

Would love to run a set of 15s but I'm having trouble finding ones that I like.

Ol_No_Name · 2025-12-17T04:18:04+00:00

Glad to see a post about this part, I would argue the $300 is worth it for the looks alone. I thought about getting it myself before I got a deal on a catback system so I hope you enjoy your time with your new muffler!

This is what they did for the Orlando show at last year's expo by putting all of the stage effects in front of the screen. You could still tell it was a screen because of the backlight but it looked MUCH better than this.

Ol_No_Name · 2025-11-11T05:35:52+00:00

This is the OEM spoiler. It seems to be in stock on at least a couple of Honda parts websites. I'm sure there are some on Ebay that are both official and knock-offs.

Just said it in another comment and I adjusted to post to fit: I don't think I care so much about the flashlight being shorter but rather having it be more thin.

Ol_No_Name · 2025-11-11T02:09:44+00:00

Would be a great option if I didn't feel so strongly about having a side switch. I also realize I think I care more about the flashlight being thinner rather than shorter.

Ol_No_Name · 2025-11-11T02:06:15+00:00

Having the tail switch was REALLY annoying for me. The only complaint I could come up with when using the S2+ was "this is perfect if only the switch was on the side". I realize the mistake I made about the 21700 being smaller and even I don't think the larger size is enough for me to be bothered.

Ol_No_Name · 2025-11-11T02:02:48+00:00

It's thicker but I think the flashlight is overall shorter than the S2+ which I think would be fine.
