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

oh, it's an 00 si. First problem was there's three lugs seized on, tried everything under the sun to get them off to no avail. I'm going to let tires plus give it a shot tommorrow morning, it's probably going to require them being drilled out and the bolts re-done.

Second problem was passenger side axle was fried. That problem led into a fried ball joint (thanks robry) I still think he should pay for it ;-) "just stick a pickle fork in there and pry it loose, that's what munster did"... 3 hours later sfc gets a message "dude don't put a pickle fork in there it'll fuck up the ball joint". THANKS BUDDY.

Anyways, to top it all off, now the drivers side axle is making the same sound as the passenger side one was making that I just fixed. Fuck if I'm tearing it all apart again and spending another 25$ on tranny fluid.

Oh, and last but not least the rear camber is fucked from it sitting on jack stands too long. Hopefully if tires plus can get those fucking lugs off that can be corrected as well.

I think that about covers it for now. I'm sure my rear tires are going to be fucked hella fast if the camber isn't fixed asap though, looking at the wear on them from two days driving.
