They do however stock parts for a Volvo S60R or V70R, which is the exact same Brembo as the FK8

EDIT: My money comment was not on BIC_BAWS, I've been trying to chase down an idle problem on my S2000 and what I thought was the issue was not the issue after all...
Oh.

Loaded a bunch of mulch into the trunk this weekend. If I find a truck with a cap/topper, is it safe to fill up the bed to the top like this?

You Guangdong hoarder!

I want to say yes, but you'd have to know the bed's limits and how to distribute the load properly.

Don't trust me. I drive a Corolla.

I think it’s fine as long as it doesn’t exceed the trucks payload.

If you have to overload anything, do an F-150.
Aluminum body means payload is generally higher than the rest.
My 5.0 has heavy duty payload package, ~3300lb payload.

Do not overload RAM and Tundra with their coil spring rear.
2000# is 2000# on these.

Tacoma is a 1 way street to life insurance payout - their frames already snap with a couple years of rust or if you looked at them kinda funny. 1200# payload is a joke lol, 5 adults and a suitcase each overloads it.

, no change.

About 200kms for the above.

Car drives fine, maybe il ask on the C7 forums if anyone has data from new. Then again, those geezers use their cars to get groceries and discuss how they are "1 of 1" circlejerks

Will probably order 4 more injectors and change the right bank, as preventative measure + to find out if that sorts it. Il report back later on.

Also: after i fixed the cyl 5 misfire, my car had a "service battery" light come up. Checked all connections at battery, looked good. Burned 240$ on a battery, same issue. My blind ass missed the black ground wire, that ripped off the ground terminal, and was blending in with the rest of the area

I tell myself the existing battery was original, and maybe it was just meant to be.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not planning to get a truck, but my neighbor offered his truck to me and got me wondering how big of an improvement having a truck for this task would be.

Hobz is right that it's not worth getting a whole other vehicle for the 10-20 days in the year when having a truck bed for yardwork is handy (weight won't ever reach anywhere near payload). Plus, I don't want my Guangdong aunties asking me to help them move their hoarded goods.

Where are folks getting their cars modded these days?

I've kept the FL5 mostly stock, but it really needs more tone and want to get a cat-back exhaust ordered/installed.

All the Supra guys go to Overdrive, though I have zero personal experience with them

Aria Automotive in Richmond supports the racing community too

Benefit of a truck as well is getting your bed loaded at a place like landscape depot etc. the material is like 1/4 of the cost of buying bags.

I think the usual suspects like Garage 5 and A&J Racing are still around for the Honda community.

When I got my dirt from Southwest Gardens they only charged me $80 for delivery - I ordered 3 yards and I got more like 4 (judging by how many trips I made to move it). I think at 6-9 yards they were going to charge me $145 for delivery b/c they needed a larger truck for it. Either ways, that's pretty cheap and beats even renting a truck to get the dirt.

Hi, fellow Type R owner here,

Is there a specific geographic region that you're looking for? My below reccos will be for Richmond.

My recommendation would be OverDrive located in Bridgeport. You can call/text/WhatsApp them at (604) 368-3008. Let em know that BICBAWS sent ya.

There's also NEXTMOD (loosely affiliated with NRI) located behind the Aberdeen area. Call the main line or email sales@nextmodvancouver.com

Ben at AJR is great as well. And G5, I've heard is good but expensive. G5 has a lot of OG customers and stancebois.

I've only had work done at OverDrive so I can't comment on workmanship on the rest.

Yeah I'm fortunate that my local dirt place is only 3km and a super easy drive from my house. Mulch is relatively light and I do 2 yards at a time in the F150.

I find it much more manageable to do pickup truck loads in small chunks like that then it would be to order up a dump truck delivery and then have a giant mound occupying my front lawn or driveway until it's used up.
