A 40mm stem for my old bike that is a size L but but would be a sm/m in today's standards. Has a 70mm on it currently and riding it turns like a dumptruck compared to my newer bike. It's gonna feel like a bmx bike now I hope lol
SavageBiffIs it considerably less expensive without downgrading to build a bike vs buying at a bike shop?
For BMX, you can get a very solid complete bike that will be plenty sturdy for most riders for like $500-600. If you ride hard or ride a lot it’s probably better to just spend the extra money on a custom build which costs about $1200-1400 (if you don’t do custom wheels).
Unless you plan on riding bmx all the time, I would just go to a bike shop/online store and get a solid complete bike. Make sure it has sealed bearings and full chromoly frame.
I don’t ride much, maybe 2hr a week between bmx and mtb, I’m still riding on a early 2000s gt fueler, kinda heavy but has been thru it all, started as my street bike, then vert and mountain before I got a cheap mtb

powpatrolskateboard art is so sick it can’t be matched
So true, I don’t know a single one of my skate friends that doesn’t have at least 1 wall board. This ones more for the sentimental value than the art, but it’s still a sick graphic.
WoFlowzHaven’t seen your name pop up on NS lately glad to see your doing alright. We missed you
Been busy, and now no skiing so...............Anyway, the '89 Accord came out awesome! It's lower now, with more camber up front. I'm going to shred some Autocross with it 31'st and 1st. I'll make video. Thing is turning better than ever! I should know as I have owned it since Oct. 1988! The new KSport coilovers are way better than the old kit I had. Second time with blown shocks. Makes the car spin out!

That is so sick Jacques! Mad props man. I cannot stand the 'use it and get rid of it' mentality people have with cars. And here you are racing yours 30+ years later!!! I hope whenever I bite the bullet and buy a brand new whip I have it forever as well. You da man for real!

Ha ha! Just turned 335,000 miles. Original engine and transmission. Still runs! Have replaced many parts through the years to keep it going.
I'll take a few photos of the new stance it has now, and post them up later. It's "flush" and low!

That's awesome! Overall, how much of the car is still original? Do you think it'd be better to make a small sporty car for these kinds of events or a drift car? Maybe one day I can afford to go through tires like that ha!

It's all OG except for the shocks, springs, and sway bars. Other than that, have replaced fuel sensors as they failed. Replaced injectors, power steering pump, alternator, and several timing belts. You always replace water pump when doing timing belt. Also replaced one cooling fan, and all thermo switches, some twice. ENGINE is OG!
Okay, after installing the latest purchase of the KSport coilovers for the '89 Accord, here is how she sits! Note wheel size! It's low! With 2 degrees plus of negative camber up front. Will confirm cambers front and rear when I get an alignment in a few weeks.
The front end clearance is 3 inches to steel sub-frame!

Thanks man! I pride my ride. Car has character. It took me 32 years to get the look it has. Been never in a garage all those years. The suspension is in very good condition as I have taken care of that!
My low hydraulic jack won't fit under any more without driving it up on some wood or a ramp. Tire store had to use all floor jacks to lift it now.
Good thing the road jack fits easy! I don't want trouble if I get a flat! I carry a full size spare! Tape case is three inches.
After testing in autocross soon, I may lower a bit more! We will see.

re-71'rs are fucking sticky. Flatspotted a set bad on my miata a couple summers ago and still am not living myself down. The fuck is with the bumper dump though, does it have a turbo on it or what?
it looks a bit like a hoopty but I bet that thing is quick as shit, turbo or not.

That is a ram air intake. It's piped into the stock air box through existing holes in the body. If I had to make any holes in the body, it would be illegal for Street Touring class.

I have a 2015 MBP 13”. Just as covid hit, my logicboard failed. I had some water damage on it. Got a used logicboard on eBay and switched it out. That was over a year ago and it’s still trucking. I love my MacBook
SendyMcSendyfaceI agree, but I was able to get it for 200 off with free airpods (which I'm gonna sell), so it's not so bad

SendyMcSendyfaceWelp, just bought a macbook air, fuckin roast me
Nice purchase dude. That M1 chip punches way above its weight in power and efficiency. Solid computer with killer battery life. Mac vs PC wars are stupid and older than the skier vs. snowboarder beef. Enjoy the new machine!

I'm not a gamer, but bought a Dell G7 17 laptop. So far it's been great. Bells, whistles. Nvidia 2070, Intel graphics GPU too.
A burning hot Intel Core i7 CPU.
I can make a video pretty fast now!
PC, Mac..........as long as you are happy.
All these RGB lights make me happy! Ha ha!

Hell yeah Jacques! What program do you use to edit?
S.CHell yeah Jacques! What program do you use to edit?
I use two. The crappiest ever made has many glitches, but once you figure them out, it's okay for simple. AVS
The simple Adobe Premiere Elements. If I shoot big files in 4K (did once) the AVS just wouldn't load them. Small ones no problem.
Anyway I not into taking a massive amount of time to do fancy editing on some fancy program. I like to keep stuff simple.
I'm just learning how to use 3-D Paint to do some titles etc. It's supposed to be "intuitively" simple, but it breaks my brain!
Here is one I will use pretty soon.
Just snagged my ikon pass. Next is an acoustic guitar, anyone got any good recommendations for a smaller size one that travels well in a car filled with ski shit

What’s your price range for the guitar? Taylors are my favorite acoustics and they have a lot of smaller ones but idk what model you want
