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

Post by robry » March 30, 2005

Got my new wheels and tires yesturday. SportMax 786's, 18x7.5" with Hankook Ventus II H405 tires (225/40R18). Don't mind my hood, I'm awaiting the CF hood from RSM, I hit a deer and had everything repaired and insurance gave me a check for the hood :) Should be here in 1-2 weeks. (Car is dirty, didn't get a chance to wash it)

well if things go according to plan, the GA will be sold to a friend of mine, I will keep the wheels and I will be buying a brand new 2005 rsx-s in either burnt orange or magnisium metallic.

GTPs are sweet, major tranny issues though. high mileage ones are no good. I wouldn't buy one with over 65k on the ticker. Enless you plan on replacing the tranny.

go for it, you can easily make 350whp/400 ft lbs torque for less than 2k. Run a low 13 with 'em. They are fun, but its an automatic :( http://www.3800performance.com and http://www.intense-racing.com they truely are the 'civic' of domestics. you can make them ridiculously fast for next to nothing and they're big and comfy inside.
