Always the case dude, I have recently bought a parasol for the garden but I have 0 garden furniture to even enjoy sitting in the garden after work hours lol.

Are you too posh to just throw a mat on the ground and lie underneath the parasol? I mean you get on your back to do an oil change on your GT86 dont you?

Don't even have a spare mat to roll on the ground either haha, its currently being used as my floor protection for my gym in the living room.
I did use it a few times to work underneath my Mazda 3 MPS though a couple years ago.
I've not gotten underneath my white GT86 but I did on my black one back in 2015-2016, where I did try to do my own oil change and couldn't undo the sump plug.
I don't have me 86 now, I am a civic driver now. Haven't found the need to go underneath though as I've found decent garages/specialist for reasonable price around me so i've kind of not bothered doing any servicing now.
I will try and install mods on my own though if its doable, most DIY i've done on any car was on my MPS:
1. Changed gearbox mount
2.Changed high pressure fuel pump
3.Turbo inlet pipe
4. Replaced boost controller solenoid as I snapped the original
5. Installed short shifter plate

Now is that my opinion on the FN2 or the FK2 or both lol.
Don't worry..it has at least a snail attached + VTEC.

I would trade both of them for a honda Jazz. ;)

Such a sour puss, don't worry the FN2&FK2 will grow on you, they will become a unicorn like the EK9&EP3.

Assuming you have the 2L engine? Is everything mostly stock?

whats your average MPG when youre not trying to rinse the engine? Im curious because my dad used to have an older 2L NA Honda accord that wasnt so great when it came to fuel consumption.
 
got the same car...on normal days 21mpg and on the weekends 14..

2L and mostly stock at the moment.
Haven't really kept track on my average MPG to be fair, I only drive once or twice a week and at best get around 290-300 miles on a full tank before the fuel light comes up.
Whenever I had done long commutes though I was able to get 350-400 miles to a full tank.
So i'm getting similar miles to my Mazda 3 MPS & GT86 but with more power.

The G-Shock variant looks awful, I remember my parents getting me it for £10 from H.samuels when I was in middle/secondary school so around £12 isn't too bad to me haha.

Any love for this one?

@kurosagi01

They look pretty lazy tbh - I have seen a similar yellow looking one that looks more like a 'bumblebee' from transformers....

As for the red one - I have seen the same watch in in the same colours or similar colours. Nothing special or unique about them at all In fact the one i posted is probably more wolverine than the lazy DP&W editions.

At least give me a DP watch that says "Maximum Effort" printed on the front of it :laugh: These are just lazy.


if you are interested in the 'Bumblebee'. You can find it here. Use code HS10-ADNP-QUI4 to take another 15% off which should take it down to £67 - I would rather buy this one than the wolverine one.
 
Time to stock up on beer and BBQ

^^^ Sunday and Monday gonna be the warmest and fairly humid as well, fortunately not quite as warm as that here.
 
Y'all need to move to Scotland.

Sorry. In Scots:

Fuk, no gonna aye, naw, fukin freezin, aye, naw? Who ye callin' fat?
 
@Tatty_Two My good sir.

Do you require any braided fishing line at all?

Ive managed to find a good deal on some 200m spools. Breaking strain - 15, 33, 44 and 66lb. Should you be wanting to invade France for some big cats

Not that 200m will do you much good when you have a big cat on the other end really....

200m might be useful if you have a spinning setup to get some mullet, mackerel or sea bass off the British Coast.

All of the 3 or 4 usual places I fish don't allow braided mainline, one of them does but only if you have at least a metre of rig tubing from the end tackle but thanks for the thought. I Just started the catfish thing, only by chance and not by design, one of the new places we have started fishing this summer has a dedicated Cat lake but in it's carp specimen lake it has Cats to 55Lbs (it has up to 80 pounders in the cat lake) and I accidentally caught a 28Lb cat last Friday along with a 24Lbs Mirror Carp in the Carp lake, both on 18mm Pro Stim Liver boillies.
