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

^^ i knew youd say that about the wing. i put it back on though. i like my car both ways but the wing keeps things original so i like that alittle more.

I like the wingless look but i also like the winged look as well. I guess its all in what your feeling somedays. I personally like your car better with the Volks over the Mugens, i like the red with white combo :thumbup:

well i have some bad news... apparently i let the wheel cleaner sit on the rims for too long, i.e. by the time i got finished with the last one the first one was on too long, and when i washed it off some of the TE37/ Volk Racing decals came off :\ . thankfully it was only on one rim but im now thinking of taking them all off and putting some silver or crome ones on instead. ill post pics later but that make me rethink on the use of the stuff i used. its works great but maybe it works too good? that and i wasnt useing the stuff i should have been using.

well it has come time for me to do something different for a while. as such i am taking off the wing and putting the stock bumper back on until further notice. i also got ahold of some new Si front shock forks and my black ASR sub-brace should be here tomorrow. im also considering getting function 7 rear LCAs because they have settings for the rear sway bar. with the sub-brace and the shock forks i now can up grade my sway bars to Type R status. i also am looking into doing the washer trick for some positive camber for the rear and i need to replace my driver side tie rod.

im hopeing to have the cash to get my CTR fenders painted and maybe some other stuff ive been putting off next month. we shall see O_O

what is the trick? never heard of this. Why not just get a camber kit

washer trick is to get longer bolts and a few washers and replace the bolts that bolt the camber arm to the car with the longer ones and put washers inbetween the car and the arm to create the positive camber needed.

it will save me $80 by doing this for now since my car isnt slammed and i dont need a major camber correction in the rear. the front on the other hand i would have to by a camber kit for.

some things came up so atm its a no go on the F7 lcas and ill have to wait alittle longer on the lower tie bars. for one i need to buy a new phone and ive been considering the iPhone. i dont know yet on what i plan on doing with that situation. i did do one thing. i went ahead and took my fenders to get painted O_O!!

i also found a deal i couldnt pass up on. CTR cluster for $250. i haven seen one that low so i jumped on it. im going to do something different though and the cluster isnt going to be installed. youll have to see what i do when i do it and ill need some opinions because its kinda sorta one foot out and one foot in the box kind of thing. ill be looking to install the sway bars and ASR with out the tie bars and rear lcas for now but do know they are on my mind of things i might do.
