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

Yo! Nice Bimmer. Nice to see you stopping by. Sucks about the Civic, but it seems like that's the demise of alot of them. Hope everything's ok with the family.

tench! long time, man. how's it going? and thanks, i've got some ideas as to what i'll be doing with the M5 though it may take a little longer. the money i spent on say my coilovers/asr/sway/etc would only buy me an exhaust or maybe an exhaust and x-pipe. LOL. so it'll take a bit more time, but i'll snap pictures as she progresses =)
Lol man, ya long time! I cant complain really, livin. Im in Iraq again. Got a RHD Impreza now. Kinda got outta the Honda scene for a while, though on better terms I suppose. Hope you stick around this time man!

it's good hearing from all of you guys and i'm glad everything's going well. it does suck about the civic, but it seems to have been more of a blessing in disguise than anything. i LOVE the M5 and the mod-bug has bitten me yet again! removing my resonators and spraying my diffuser black (comes painted) saturday, picking up my brake-duct grill and black kidney grills monday, ordering my suspension soon (still deciding on what to get), and wheels last. after seeing this picture, i'm DEFINITELY going with LMs...and you can see the difference with the painted diffuser.
Image in the end, my car will look similar to that, but silver...like the old cr-x =)

Remember when you spray painted your rims? tee hee.

no no, i have a titanium silver M5 but that alpine white one shows pretty much what i want to do. dumped on LMs...with the brake duct grill and black kidney grills in front. and spray painted? aside from some LS mesh i used for track wheels, i've always used my gun to paint! =P

and yea, i miss the civic...but get happy all over again when i punch it in the M5. lol. still dealing with insurance, but sent receipts and everything so i should be good...

i think my AIM account gets logged in with trillian, but i don't really use it much. i'm usually on MSN or [email protected] / 364074602 as i use them at work. how've you ben, jef? long time, man.

anyway, the civic situation is done with and i've been modding the M5. here are a few pics i took earlier this month...
after suspension was installed: Image Image after hamann lip was installed: Image Image Image Image Image bc full coilovers, brake duct grill, french fogs, eisenmann race, resonator delete, zhp knob, 545i short shifter, black kidneys...that's about it i think? haha. i'll have some sound clips soon, the car sounds amazing! loud, but sick. next: bbs LM or comparable mesh, gruppe m intake, supersprint headers, chip + tune + dyno. :thumbup:
