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

How far would you go?

I hear that i would love to find a real Right hand drive ek hatch but to get one through customs would be nuts, My K20a would look real nice in the engine bay of one of those. Hell yeah JDM.

On my new ride and the black eg i had before i would try and buy name brand or real stuff, yeah i just paid $450 for a CTR cluster but it is what i wanted and i can enjoy it everytime i drive my car. i also rather get oem GSR seats then to get some cheap ass recaro knockoffs, i agree if your gonna do it go all the way. I do have painted headlights but i will soon be ditching theese for oem type R as well like munster did, mine leak as well :roll:

i go out and buy every rare part i can get my hands on. as you all know. but i also do a TON of research so i dont sound like a complete idiot for having it. like the rear foglamp and all that fun stuff. i found out how its used/wired why its used and all that good stuff. so when people do ask about stuff like that. i feel pretty confident to answer the question. so i guess knowing the part should also go with having it.

dont just get it to get it.

I'm the same as Jawn as far as knowing what I want and eventually getting it. :up: to anyone that builds their car for their own enjoyment.

its all in what you want. it doesn't hurt my feelings to spend $1000 on a bmx bike but i think a $300 rc car is stupid. its all up to you. i have always built every car the way i wanted and i really dont care what anyone else has ever said.

Well my EF has a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGGG way to go before I'll be satisfied with it. Hell, I've had it for almost a year now and the only thing I have done to it has been an LS/VTEC setup that is still being built. But after it goes under the hood, THEN I can focus on my full KSport suspension, any Mugen/Spoon strut bar I can find for an EF, MR5's, and all the SiR crap I can find and whateevr else comes to mind. But once it's all done, I know I'll be defenitley keeping the car for life, no matter how bad things get and no matter how desperate I am for cash, I will never sell it.
