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

Haha, I'm jealous of your RPF1's :)

I love you guys, I just don't post a whole lot because my car is rubbish, and so is the driver O_o

I ordered two of my new wheels, no not baller or anything, but good lightweight real wheels!

Enkei RPF1's, silver (will be powdercoated white most likely)
17X9.5 +18 for the fronts
18X10 +15 for the rears
215/40's up front
225/40's for the rear.

A few updates to share
Yellow H3 HID's retrofitted to the Kouki signals

Thats it for now :) just saving for my other two RPF1's, which will hopefully be ordered by the end of June :)

Sweet stagger, I have 17/17 but would like to pick up a set of 18s for the rear eventually. Are you going to add pearl to the wheels?

Thanks guys! I may add a pearl to the wheels, but I don't want them to match perfectly with the body. We'll see though!

Updates:
My car got hit by two flying planks of wood on the highway..

Insurance gave me some cash for it, so I will be ordering a new fender and hood here soon.
Till then, I got my room mates car running, so we took some pics (had to swap wheels back over..blah)

Then I got so jealous of boost, I decided to go KA-T and destroy his SR20 :P
Votion FMIC, couplers and clamps
Image

Votion Oil lines and fittings, sandwhich plate and SR injectors
Image

Godspeed top mount mani, EMUSA t3/t4 and wastegate (will be swapped with a TiAL here soon)
Image

I would be the last person to rock a off-brand turbo, but from what my friends are saying and reviews online, these turbo's are properly balanced unlike others, and get good power gains and last awhile. For the price, I figured I'd try it! If the KA does better than I wanted it too, I'll look into upgrading to a Garrett! I just purchased my Walbro fuel pump and turbo oil line adapters, now all I need is a battery relocation kit and a chip for my tune and I am set! I'm shooting on the weekend of July 1st to get it goin.

Yeeeyayuh! haha
Well got my last few things in the mail for boost
Image

Then I showed up at work today to see two big white Enkei boxes, and freaked out! These bitches got here MUCH faster than what I was told. I was expecting them to take until mid-late July!

These wheels will be going on the rear. They're 17X10 +18

There's a stamp on the side of them also, they were made on June 2nd. Very new :)
