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

Its about damn time!

build threads. post pics & specs & brag about your ride.

You could stop wasting money on cigs and have more money for mods..

Good pickup though, needs a little TLC but most EFs do.

Doing things twice sucks.

yup. not gonna get coilovers till its closer to spring. no point to get them when its about to be winter and ill be keeping it at the same height.

i did order a couple small things though. AVS window visors. the honda access ones are 4 times as much as these ones. broadway mirror, JDM squash air freshener, and HAMP synergy oil filter for my oil change next weekend.

ill post new picks when i get that shit on!

Also, i tried fixing the windows...but couldnt get the door panels off? i can get the bottom portion undone but not the top. i tried to work on the HVAC controls too. switched them out and got some lights working, but i didnt see the cable to switch vent types.

were there no cables attached to the HVAC unit? did you see a spot on the new one to attach cables? That may be the problem.......getting ED door panels off is a royal pain. make sure you remove all the hidden ass screws from them, then you should get something like a chisel to kinda pry it off safely (which is what the SM even recommends). it will take time and patience.
