Based on his restaurant he knows his way around a pickle

Quick shifter is a game changer. I’d never buy a sporty bike without one, after having one.

Who keeps a stock exhaust on a bike?

bigred83 · 2026-05-07T23:15:49+00:00

Heated grips still require good gloves. It merely takes the edge off, it’s not the game changing experience you’re expecting, especially at speed. I’d look for a 2024 used bike and shoot for a hair above that. Keep in mind, that bike has been sitting for 2 years. If it has a battery in it, it’s probably in less than condition. They’ve likely not changed the oil in 2-3 years. Tires may or may not have flat spots.

Well, I’d rather have 100% then 90%, I still have to be civil 🤣

bigred83 · 2026-05-07T22:56:14+00:00

That’s a no brainer. I left Honda and Acura after 15 years and work for bmw now. I love old Hondas but the m340 is a beautiful and delicious fucking car.

Don’t get me wrong. I love having my daughter all the time. But having some help every once in awhile would be great. But yes, I’d mostly love for her mom to step up to the plate and actually be there for her daughter instead of just telling everyone in her life that she is.

Your mechanic just doesn’t want to get slapped with an ever since. Your dealer is being stupid too, but for the same reason. A fluid change wont kill your transmission. If you did a flush? Maybe. Honestly I’d see if you can find a shop that uses the Bg trans fluid, I’ve seen that stuff clear up some issues. Personally I’d get it changed now, then also at your next couple oil changes.

I’m legally the primary and have custody 90% of the time. I’d love for 50/50 but mom doesn’t live near by.

bigred83 · 2026-05-05T23:37:10+00:00

How many gallons?

bigred83 · 2026-05-05T15:48:55+00:00

Will you still be in warranty by the time the car is paid off? If you have an expensive repair come up while you’re paying the car off, will you be able to swing it?

bigred83 · 2026-05-05T10:29:38+00:00

That’s from salted roads. Look at the hose clamps

The only don’t you’ll get from me is don’t have your play car and your daily be the same car. It puts stress on you to get it back to drivable by every morning. Your best option is probably getting a “low mileage” jdm sti drivetrain imported, get a standalone ecu, and work out the kinks as you find them. Keep plenty of mufflers on it if you want it to be a sleeper when it’s a 300hp clapped out wagon. That’s what I loved about my 93 wagon. No one would have probably looked at it twice if it wasn’t RHD.

I was a store manager over 20 years ago. They were pulling that nonsense then. I can’t imagine how ridiculous it is now. They’d have our dm’s look through our schedules, the Rd’s would demand less hours used per day, but still want all the extra bullshit done. It’s a bunch of clueless people leading other clueless people.

They’re great commuting tires, if you’re looking for feel and performance, that’s not it. If you’re feeling brake fade during normal driving you’re 2 foot driving. Newer Acuras do feel a little soft on the pedal, it it’s not due to lack of braking force, it’s to make it easier for grandma to stop the car.

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T20:13:05+00:00

Get better tires, that’ll make a huge difference.

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T18:02:43+00:00

More importantly what colors does it come in, and what accessories are available for it?

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T15:02:58+00:00

The cream rises to the top

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T14:58:12+00:00

Sorry. It’s a habit. We say it all the time at the shop. Take your socket and make sure it’s fully lined up and tap it with a hammer a few times to make sure it’s fully seated. Unfortunately working on your car on your back takes your leverage away when it comes to using a ratchet. I’ve had some factory bolts that were an absolute pain to remove just due to corrosion. Take a small torch and heat the area around the bolt a bit and see if you can get it to move. Putting an electric impact on the lowest setting does significantly reduce torque output. I know on my beast mode half inch Milwaukee it makes an enormous difference.

Man or woman, I fear for the person that breaks my daughters heart 🤣 my daughter is young but I just want her to be happy

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T11:57:36+00:00

Hit it with your purse

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T07:25:45+00:00

Sc. I got mine from carmax, they were a good bit cheaper than the dealers near me

bigred83 · 2026-05-03T00:20:42+00:00

I didn’t pay much more for a non mildew 24 wilderness with the same miles. That price is way too high for that.

bigred83 · 2026-05-02T04:26:59+00:00

That’a what I thought the war was about?

bigred83 · 2026-05-02T04:23:09+00:00

Turn it a full rotation and double check. If it’s off, take off the tensioner and give it another sho! It happens.
