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

Carlisle's coming... anyone trying to get anything done beforehand?

general car and site related talk and chat.

i remember you saying that a while back ... i asked the body shop that did my car, and they said to ask the place where they get paint ... so i called them up, and i'm pretty sure it was just as expensive as paintscratch ... i wanna say it was like 10 bucks for a fairly small can, whereas paintscratch is 24.99 for a 12.5 oz ... i think the paintshop's was a 5 oz or something..

I'm not going to do anything crazy while the motor's in ... i just wanted it black for the time being ... once it's out is when i'll decide what it is i'm doing for sure, whether it be myself or take it somewhere... i might try a mini wire tuck while i'm at it just to clean up the bay - but who knows.

Doing a mini wire tuck tomorrow or monday and finishing spraying the rest of the bay. Also going to call the body shop on monday morning and hope they can squeeze my car in, so i can get that out of the way.

wheel studs and lug nuts should be here on wednesday, so as soon as the car's out of the body shop, I have to do brakes and the new studs, clean up the suspension a bit, maybe install a turbo timer and wire up my fogs and that's pretty much about it.

The wire tuck won't be anything special, i'm just going to move the bracket for the harness down so it's out of sight, turn the battery around and run the power/ground differently, get rid of cruise control, and move the windshield washer hoses.

That's it and that's all.

Went to the body shop on monday .... they said bring it in a 1.5-2weeks and they'll fit it in :down: At least it'll get done, but i hate the thought of rushing... If they work on it non-stop, i should be good to go. Todd's car took a week, duanne's took 4 days, brian's took 3 ... we'll see though.

On the bright side, I got a hood latch and i'm getting the cable tomorrow. I'm gonna de-tar the interior and finish the engine bay on sunday/monday... it would have been done but i ended up working my only 2 days off. My wheel studs and lugnuts came in today, and while on honda-tech, i found a near mint set of black recaros for a decent price, so i ended up picking those up too haha :)

:up: can't wait to party with you fools again this year!
