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

Sometimes it seems the army's rank structure is a little TOO rigid though IMO, at least for an office scenario like intel work, though this guy wasn't intel.

Speaking of which, I was talking to this other guy on one of the trips and he was reminiscing about his AIT at Gordon and being able to go into a "building with no windows" (just secret :rolleyes:)where you had to have a "clearance". I was like dude.. w/e I didn't know there were any just secret building on post I thought they were all TS at least.

When he said how surprised I'd be at what Honda motors could do I told him I used to own 3 Hondas and have a bit of knowledge about them, and that despite the K's potential I don't think 400 hp is a realistic figure. Basically, I told him I thought he was full of shit, in a roundabout way (Baker, back me up on this, in 96/98 series jobs has a tendancy to change the way you word your sentences from direct to indirect/borderline sarcastic, haha)

I also asked what he'd done to be able to run 30 psi on his M and his answer was that he'd "re-done the block" without going into any details. So either he's exceptionally short on words or just talking out of his ass.

I agree with koto. He is talking out his ass.

And yes. 96/98, well all intel except 97 (counter) are very sarcastic in the way we speak

just realized fltblkteg asked what lies I'd told, not just what I told him in response. I don't have any reason to lie, I didn't feed him any lines about building an engine I'm not or anything like that. I told him my plans for the Miata as far as upping the boost and some of the parts I've acquired while I've been here in Kuwait soaking up extra pay and not having rent to pay at the moment. There's no need to lie though, I have a very realistic power goal for the stock bottom end and I've got too many parts on the car to mention in one conversation as it is, so there's no need to add any fantasy parts to it.

HT mag was going after a 309 crank hp endyn built NA B-series but they didn't run the results yet. JE was going after a 1000 whp turbo K but I couldn't find out how that was going.
