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

ordered buddy club roll center adjusters, ss brake lines, Hawk Blues and ITR rotors yesterday. ITR hub and wheel bearings should be here next week. Then I can finally put on the R32's :)

Braking should feel crazy good with the Legend calipers

he shaved the backpad though, to +43, so I'm going to have to run a spacer...probably 12 or 15mm

Are you able to run them all the way around or just in the front?

32's are on...I need a hubcentric ring though. The machine shop bored the centers out too much. The spacers were meant to be hubcentric but fuck...it wobbles pretty bad anything over 70..pretty bummed about that.

Car feels great though - got it aligned same day -2.5 camber front, 1.5 rear, 0 toe/caster...I need to run a bit more caster though, fenders are rubbing pretty bad even spaced as they are. Will try to get aligned before track on Sunday.

Legend calipers with the Project Mu pads are insanely good. Now looking to maybe get a larger brake booster/cylinder.
