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

my brother and my summer project.

general car and site related talk and chat.

Edit - I think I'm the only one that understands the project.
You and anybody who has read this month's super street!
Haha, I think most people saw the car in the background and didn't realize it was a miata or something.

That's a cool one munster, I think Jon might've posted pics of it awhile back. God that's such a badass idea. There's a shop in tampa called Z fever that's done at least 2 (that I know of) SR miatas. 4 cyl conversions are becoming more popular, it seems, than the tried-and-true 302 swap.

Someday, if I have a lot of cash to blow on the miata, it's going totally jap on the outside and supercharged 306 underhood. Contrast baby!

Rack and pinion (spelled correctly I think) had to be moved up and under body support moved back for the oil pan to fit. There is more to this swap than most people know. The s2000 cluster had to be used for electrical reasons along with fuel system and much more.
