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

yup, it's a sohc vtec.

Suggestions would depend on what direction you're willing to go. Do you want something that just looks nice, do you want a fast car, do you want a little bit of both? It really comes down to a few things; personal preference, $ you're willing to spend, and whether you need to pass emissions (for performance).

Best thing to do is set goals. What do you want to do with the car?

maybe go SOHC vtec turbo or you can just swap that motor out for a DOHC vtec motor :) but like said above, it is vtec, and set goals. what do you really want?
