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

What's next?

What's next?

Post by spdyslvrEX » June 29, 2005

Ok guys I need some help. I don't know what I want to do next or what I should do next.
17" Enkei's.
Neuspeed lowering springs 1.75".
Koni fully adjustables.
some bobo ass intake & exhaust.
I thought about brakes but the ones I would like are $1200 Grand Turismo Racing ones
So I've thought maybe Tie rods Upper lower front and rear. I'm thinking that I'm just going to go with everything not engine related because of the simple fact that I asm going to do a K swap in a year or so. Tell me what ya'll think.
Time to change my signature....

Why dont you get big rotors, and CRV calipers since you already have 17" rims. Otherwise you could just get some Brembo slotted rotors, EBC Green Stuff pads, and some stainless brake lines, that would help your stoppage a lot!

Handling and stopping. But I figured those would be one in the same.

A K swap, eh Matty? Sweeeeett.

I'd either start collecting various swap-related items, OR, focus on looks for a sec and get a CF hood and trunk, maybe paint the roof black too :up: Then it'd be HOT.

Definitely start stocking up for the swap.

Buy the mounts, a clutch, flywheel, etc. Anything that's going to be needed to do before the motor is in, or to put the motor in.
