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

duanne's car was aligned with a camber kit (both front and rear) at 2 different places (i think) and both sets looked like this within a couple short months.. weird.

I'll be damed if this year i go through 2 sets again. I'm taking it somewhere else to get it aligned and running regular street tires and buying bfg's just for the track. But yeah those tires were a death trap im just glad it went flat overnight rather than going flat while i'm blowing down the highway, altough some of you might have wished that upon me :-(

Truth.

Haha - I better stop saying that. One of these days i'm gonna get a phonecall about you being dead.

In all seriousness - Gold Attacks with BFG's for the track is gonna let some locals know when we mean business haha.
