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

that sucks, karma is a bitch. luckily no one was hurt and the teggy isn't too badly hurt :) haha reminds me of when i had my teggy! it was always one thing after another! first it got stolen, then i got it back, tranny blew, fuel pump went out, axles went left and right, then cops finally took it from me on a DUI charge that later got dropped. BASTERDS! lol hope the insurance will pay for your spray :up:

lol - no sweat zero - i wasn't taking it literally. I usually don't, especially on here.


We have three winter beaten jdm front integras on here ... fuck all you haters. It's a god damn car ... i would be no more pissed if it happened in a tempo. No one was hurt, no one in my car no one in theres ... that was my main concern. She had kids in the car man ... i'm just glad i didn't fuck them up.

If this was a show car, I wouldn't drive it in anything but sunny weather ... but it's a street car - that's my only defense. It's seen a snow covered road like twice ... I think driving it in cold weather is perfectly legal in any event...

but i DO need a beater ... but when money's tight, money's tight. I could have bought a beater before winter - but my car would be just that much further from actually running.

Well, the insurance adjuster came yesterday morning and gave me a quote.

Getting a nice fat check for 3800, which leaves me with 3300 after the deductible. H-Motors has an HID front end in stock for 2350 shipped so I'm going to pick that up, and as soon as i get a day off i'm going to drive to youngwood to grab a carbon fiber hood from Knauff. I'm also going to try to pick up some O.E. lipkit sideskirts as well before it goes under the knife.

A kid I work with is buying my existing front end for 600 bucks, and is going to piece the rest together and use my HID to retrofit into some sir-g headlights ... so he's pretty pumped for that and i'm pretty pumped about the money. I'm also going to sell the O.E. metal jdm hood and front lip to make a little bit of cash back as well.

My body shop said as soon as the parts come in, drop the car off and it'll be done within the week.

Along with the front end reconstruction, i'm going to have them shave the sidemarkers and front license plate area, shave the roof squirter and spray the roof black, install the glass into my carbon fiber hatch and put that on, and also spray my interior galapagos green. I'm still undecided whether i'm going to run carpet or not, but time will tell with that.

Soon after it's out of there, i'm taking it up to God Speed in state college for chris at metric motorsport to finish up my tune on the dyno, before he tunes Bobby's 2.0 T4/T67 civic. Mine is done, just need to clean up the map a little bit and up the boost to 7-8 psi (it's at a whopping 3psi now haha).

Hopefully by this time, duanne's car will be about ready to be put together and we can schedule our shoot with Tunerzine. :up:

Should be back on the road around the end of the month boys and girls :)

Nice. If you're going to DD your Integra I'd keep the carpeting in so as to keep noises down a bit.

I'm not worried about noises. I'll probably end up running open downpipe half the time anyway.

The only reason i may keep the carpet in, is depending on what i think it looks like.

Thanks tho brotha
