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

i have them on for the moment more cause the rest of the car (with the exception of the Fugen) is OEM. when i change up to the Airwalker the flaps will most likely come off for a smoother look. i still need to get it fixed and a diffuser for it... ive been slacking off on it for other things.

well i dont know if i mentioned it to you guys or not but when i did the Si front sway bar conversion i had a problem. one of the bolts for the d-bracket snapped off and i tried to tap out the screw with no luck. then out of no where the nut that is welded on within the subframe that the bolt goes through broke out. so i just tapped the hole and had to finish with the install so i put teflon tape and loctite hoping that would be the end all of the situation.

its been a few weeks and its very apparent that its not working. one side of the car is very tight in corners and the other feels squishy and lethargic. when i started i wasnt scrapping going into or exitin ghte garage. now im scraping my side skirts and front mudflap like crazy.

i got ahold of another subframe from the junkyard for a $100 and im going to clean it up and prep it for the install but until i can find the time im going to have to disconnect the front sway bar and ill be uninstalling all my mudflaps. im not looking forward to switching out the subframe but i know it will be worth it in the end.
