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

Building new site?

Post by CivicRacingGirl7 » May 04, 2004

Hey, guys (and girls)...

I'm interested in building up another web site. I have a domain name I purchased in December for whatever reason, and am thinking of purchasing hosting for it and building up a site with it.

I am looking for ideas for the site, and possible help on features.

The site will be for JDM fans, so I decided to post up on here and get some ideas on what you guys are interested in seeing. The site will not include a forum, as I already have a forum on Import Tech, and if anything I will integrate the two so it is one forum for both sites, so please don't suggest a forum :)

I'm interested in features, how-tos, tech info, articles, etc. :)

tech stuff like expaining VTEC... wheel stuff... you know... all of those things that are always scattered around the internet, but never seem to be accessible from one site!

that stuff

and ow... if you decide to put up info on 4g cars... Give me the list BEFORE you put it up... usually the EDM stuff has errors... I'll get those out for you... You'll have the one and only decent listing that way :)

The run of the mill tech questions/fact sheets. Maybe some of the more frequent how-tos. rear disc conversion, general swap info, etc. Like everyone said.

I would also put some reviews on some of the more common jdm suppliers and motor importers. Maybe even set up a "swap meet" idea.

I'm looking into organizing jdm parts swap meets locally.

Good luck with it.
