Boys will be boys. Rather then talking him out of it..... I will talk him into something else.
Well the plan is in motion. What I have done is ..... I have handed him over the car keys to my 5th Gen Civic. It needed some attention and if he works on it.... he just might give up riding...... which is the dream.
First thing he did to the car was...... installed 17 inch light weight rims......made the suspension really uncomfortable...... so I asked him to get it changed..... now its on 13 inch rims....so he compromised..........
Next he installed a sound system...... Sony Xplod player..... Poineer D4 woofer..... Kenwood speakers..... a Chinese amplifer (good quality one)............ Im not a fan of music so I compromised here.
Next the engine (D15B) needed some work...... he wanted to swap the engine altogether with a B series engine. I was against it and finally he settled for rebuilding this D15.
Next came the matter of a bodykit. I seriously hate bodykits..... however he insisted too much and I agreed reluctantly. In came the new bumpers with deep lips.....a after market side skirt....... an F1 style rear wing etc etc Here I compromised.
Finally he played a fast one again..... installed a free flow exhaust....which he will be taking off soon.
So if the plan works...... he just might lose interest in the bike altogether.
