I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Waiting for a transplant

Well ive been waiting for what seems like forever for the bearings to get here, they showed up today....... and just happen to be the wrong F'in size...... ARRGGGHH!! I had to go .75mm oversize on the rod bearings so it was pretty limited on where i could find ACL's in that size. Luckily the rod bearings and thrust washers were the right size, i needed .25mm over mains and they sent me .50mm instead. I made a few phone calls and ordered the right mains from a local place, 1 day air'ed them so they will be here by Wednesday. If all goes as planned i should have this built block assembled by the weekend and some pics of the progress. Falling behind schedule sucks huge wang.

Thanks Boob, i cant wait to see the hopper, i hear its a beast. The bearings came in on Wednesday, took a drive to pick them up, i picked up the box and heard something clanging around and thought...... hmmmm something doesnt sound right here. Opened up the box and the fucking bearings were used, what the F...... how do you get used bearings??? Im really taking it up the tailpipe hard with this bearing BS, I got another set on the way, supposed to be here by the weekend so we'll see what happens. Im tempted to sell all this shit and just buy a K and be done with it.

W0rd, thanks Knauff. Im definatley looking foward to seeing you guys again and hanging out. I changed up a bunch of cosmetic stuff on the coupe over winter so she'll be looking cleaner this year then she did last year. On a side note i got the correct bearings on Monday, w00t w00t, now its time to go to work. :bang:
