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

apparently there are some clamps I need to move on the AC lines which will let you move them out of the enough for everything to fit and be happy. So after work today I'm gonna get the turbo mounted and figured out :)

the wifey and I are going camping Friday/Saturday. So maybe Sunday or Monday. I'm actually hoping I have the car done before then. The downpipe should be here thursday or friday provided he gets it to Fedex or UPS for me by tomorrow. I'll kill myself if he gets it there later in the week and they don't deliver it til Tuesday :(

haha yeah, we're camping this weekend, but I should get a ton of crap done over the weekend, the downpipe won't get here until tuesday or wednesday I'd imagine.

haha, yeah me either. They make 0 sense, partly because they are returnless with the FPR in the tank right next to the pump.
